Services
5-Axis Machining
Our 5-axis CNC machining capability produces complex geometries with high precision. Using Hurco machinery, we manufacture components for aerospace and marine applications with tight tolerances. This technology enables single-setup machining, reducing lead times while maintaining dimensional accuracy across aluminium, stainless steel, and plastic materials.
CNC Turning
We offer CNC turning services for both prototype and batch production. Our sub-contracting service handles one-off parts or large volumes using modern turning centres. Capable of working with various materials, we deliver turned components with excellent surface finishes and dimensional consistency for industries including automotive and safety systems.
CNC Milling
Our 3-axis CNC milling centres produce precise components from technical drawings. Compatible with DFX file formats, these machines enable rapid programming and efficient production of complex parts. We maintain strict quality controls to ensure accurate results for industrial lighting components, vacuum technology parts, and other specialised applications.
Manual Machining
Complementing our CNC capabilities, manual machining supports bespoke projects requiring specialist techniques. This service handles assembly work, drilling, and custom modifications where traditional methods provide optimal solutions. Our skilled engineers apply decades of experience to deliver precision components that meet exact specifications for unique applications.
DFX Design Integration
Our DFX-compatible systems streamline the transition from design to production. By accepting digital file formats, we accelerate quoting processes and reduce manufacturing lead times. This integration ensures accurate interpretation of technical drawings while maintaining the dimensional integrity of complex components across multiple industries.
