Services
CNC Milling
Our CNC milling services utilise advanced 4 and 5-axis machining centres to produce complex components with tight tolerances. Specialising in aluminium machining from solid or cast materials, we maintain precision through Openmind offline programming and on-machine inspection. The service supports small batch production with quality assurance processes including PPAP and FAIR documentation.
Precision Machining
Precision machining capabilities cover 3, 4, and 5-axis operations for complex geometries requiring exacting standards. We maintain 0.005mm tolerances across automotive, aerospace, and defence components using modern Mazak and Haas equipment. This service includes material preparation, dimensional verification, and surface finish optimisation for critical applications.
Prototype Development
Prototype machining supports design validation through one-off components and pre-production batches. Using 3m+ investment in manufacturing facilities, we produce prototypes from aluminium, titanium, and engineering plastics. The service includes process development and documentation to facilitate smooth transition to production.
Metal Finishing
Metal finishing services include electroplating, anodising, and powder coating through ISO 9001-certified partners. We provide complete surface treatment solutions from corrosion protection to aesthetic finishes, with process monitoring ensuring adherence to specification requirements for functional and decorative applications.
Pressure Testing
Pressure testing services verify component integrity through non-destructive testing methods. Our dedicated testing station ensures parts meet performance requirements for strength and reliability. This service supports quality validation for critical components in automotive and industrial applications.
