Services
CNC Turning
Our CNC turning capabilities produce high-precision components from 2mm to 400mm diameter using advanced lathes. We handle one-off prototypes or batch production with tolerances maintained through digital readout systems. Clients benefit from reduced lead times through offline programming and simulation.
CNC Milling
3 and 4-axis CNC milling machines handle complex geometries in various materials. Offline programming with SolidCam ensures optimal tool paths before machining. This approach maintains dimensional accuracy while achieving competitive pricing through reduced programming cycles.
Reverse Engineering
Using laser scanning and SolidWorks software, we recreate obsolete or damaged components. This process benefits clients needing replacement parts without original specifications. Our team improves upon OEM designs where possible to enhance performance and longevity.
CAD/CAM Design
From initial concept to commissioning, we develop special-purpose machinery and fixtures. Our engineers collaborate with clients throughout the design process, ensuring solutions meet exact operational requirements while maintaining manufacturability.
Sub-contract Machining
We provide complete machining solutions for electronics, automotive, and aerospace sectors. Services include hotplate production, test jigs, and precision vices. Our global clients rely on consistent quality and adherence to tight tolerances for critical applications.
