Services
CNC Machining
Our 3-5 axis CNC machining centers produce complex geometries with tolerances down to 0.0001". With 24/7 robotic production and 330+ preloaded tools, we handle volumes from prototypes to 1000+ unit runs. Our vertical and horizontal machining centers accommodate workpieces up to 40" long, supporting JIT delivery schedules with 98% on-time performance.
Sheet Metal Fabrication
Fiber laser cutting up to 3/4" steel combined with 190-ton press brake forming creates precision sheet metal components. Our 5'x10' automated material handling system enables lights-out production while integrated PEM insertion and powder coating services provide complete fabrication solutions from single-source manufacturing.
3D Printing
Industrial-grade 3D printing produces functional prototypes and end-use parts using engineering-grade thermoplastics. Our Stratasys and EOS systems support rapid design validation and low-volume production runs, offering an economical alternative to injection molding for quantities under 500 units with material options including ULTEM and nylon composites.
Welding Services
ASME-certified welders perform MIG, TIG, stick, and laser welding on ferrous and non-ferrous alloys. Our AWS D17.1-certified aerospace welding team handles complex assemblies while integrated bending and machining capabilities ensure complete fabrication solutions. All weld procedures follow documented WPS specifications with full traceability.
Quality Inspection
Our quality lab features CMM inspection, optical comparators, and surface roughness testers maintaining 99% process capability. Statistical process control (SPC) tracks critical dimensions in real-time while first-article inspection (FAI) and non-conformance reporting (NCR) systems ensure full compliance with AS9100D requirements for aerospace and defense customers.
