Services
CNC Milling
Our CNC milling capabilities handle complex geometries with HAAS VF series machines offering travel ranges from 508mm to 3,500mm in X-axis. We maintain tight tolerances for components up to 1,588kg using hardened steel, aluminium, and composite materials. This service supports prototyping through to high-volume production for aerospace and industrial clients requiring AS9100 and ISO 9001 compliant manufacturing.
CNC Turning
Hyundai HIT series CNC lathes enable turning diameters up to 470mm with barfeed automation. Our XYZ ProTurn 410 lathe achieves 1,250mm turning lengths while maintaining 0.005mm accuracy. This service produces shafts, valve components, and bespoke fittings for defence and energy sectors using stainless steel, titanium, and exotic alloys with full material traceability.
Laser Marking
Trotec ProMarker 300 galvo laser system provides permanent marking on metals and plastics. We engrave part numbers, QR codes, and logos with 20W fibre laser precision across 180x180mm work area. This service meets MIL-STD-130N marking requirements for aerospace components while supporting batch traceability for medical device manufacturers.
Plastic Machining
Specialist machining of engineering plastics including PEEK, PTFE, and acetal with controlled temperature environments. Our CNC machines produce insulating components, wear parts, and custom housings with 0.025mm tolerances. This service caters to semiconductor manufacturing and chemical processing industries requiring non-conductive, corrosion-resistant materials.
3D Scanning
Non-contact 3D scanning captures component geometry for reverse engineering and quality verification. We create CAD models from physical parts using structured light scanning, enabling dimensional analysis against ASME B5.54 standards. This service supports legacy part reproduction and first-article inspection for automotive suppliers.
