Services
CNC Machining
Our CNC machining services utilize Hurco TMM10 and TM8i lathes for precision components. Capable of handling complex geometries with tight tolerances, we support both prototyping and production runs. Our machines ensure consistent quality through constant surface speed control and 12-station tooling capabilities.
Sheet Metal Fabrication
Advanced sheet metal fabrication includes Amada FO 3015 NT laser cutting up to 3/4" steel plate. Our CNC press brakes handle complex bends with high-precision ball screws and programmable backgauges. We offer forming capacities from simple bends to multi-setup parts requiring bump bending techniques.
Welding Services
Certified welders perform Gas Metal Arc (GMAW), Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG), and spot welding. Our precision fixtures ensure consistent weld quality across projects. We work with steel, aluminum, and stainless steel materials for structural and custom fabrication needs.
3D Laser Scanning
Using FARO Edge Scan Arm technology, we provide CAD-based inspection and reverse engineering services. This portable coordinate measuring system ensures parts meet specifications through detailed digital modeling and dimensional analysis for quality assurance.
Prototype Development
From concept to production-ready prototypes, we offer complete development services. Our capabilities include multi-part nesting, detailed documentation, and material testing. We support clients through design validation and pre-production testing phases using advanced manufacturing equipment.
