Services
CNC Milling
Our CNC milling services utilize advanced Okuma and Mori-Seiki equipment to produce complex components with tight tolerances. Capable of vertical and horizontal machining up to 41" dimensions, we serve industries requiring high-precision parts. With automated tool changers and 5-axis capabilities, we ensure accuracy within 0.0001" for aerospace, medical, and industrial applications.
Mechanical Design
From concept to production, our mechanical design department offers 3D modeling, reverse engineering, and prototype development. Using SolidWorks and AutoCAD software, we create detailed 2D drawings and digital models. Licensed engineer Casey Kenniston leads projects from single components to complete systems, ensuring designs meet functional requirements and manufacturing constraints.
Quality Control
Our MIL-1-45208A compliant quality control system features coordinate measuring machines, optical comparators, and hardness testers. We perform inspections at all production stages using equipment traceable to U.S. National Bureau of Standards. Temperature-controlled environments and documented procedures ensure consistent quality for critical aerospace, power generation, and marine components.
Prototyping
We offer rapid prototyping and short-run production using CNC machining and conventional methods. Our engineers collaborate with clients to refine designs through iterative testing. With in-house tooling and 8,000 sq ft facilities, we transition prototypes to full-scale manufacturing while maintaining strict quality standards for biopharmaceutical, lighting, and industrial applications.
Conventional Machining
Our conventional machining capabilities include Bridgeport mills, engine lathes, and surface grinders for specialized projects. Skilled technicians operate Clausing Colchester and Hardinge equipment to produce precision components when traditional methods are optimal. This complements our CNC services for customers requiring hybrid manufacturing approaches or legacy part reproduction.
