Services
CNC Machining
Our CNC machining services combine advanced Hurco and Doosan equipment with traditional engineering expertise to produce complex components. We handle both prototype development and scheduled batch production using materials like titanium, inconel, and engineering plastics. With two dedicated facilities in Wiltshire, we ensure rapid turnaround times while maintaining strict quality standards for industries including defence and renewable energy.
Prototyping
Our dedicated prototyping facility enables rapid machining of concept parts with cost-effective solutions. Using Vero and Fusion 360 CAD/CAM software, we streamline design-to-production workflows. The ability to transition prototypes directly to our batch production facility ensures consistent quality and efficiency for clients requiring both development and manufacturing services.
Mechanical Assembly
We provide complete mechanical assembly services in a dedicated clean facility. Our engineers handle sub-assemblies for challenging applications, managing everything from component machining to final packaging. Quality inspections ensure compliance with client specifications, while nationwide dispatch services support efficient supply chain integration for OEMs and industrial clients.
Ultrasonic Cleaning
Our ultrasonic cleaning technology removes contaminants from complex machined parts, ensuring optimal performance. This service benefits automotive, aerospace, and medical sectors requiring precision cleaning of components with intricate features. The process guarantees removal of debris that could affect functionality and longevity of critical engineering components.
Custom Heatsink Machining
We manufacture custom heatsinks using advanced CNC technology to meet specific thermal management requirements. Our capabilities include producing complex shapes and finishes in various materials, addressing power dissipation and space constraints. The service supports electronics and industrial clients needing precision-engineered solutions for overheating prevention in demanding applications.
