Services
CAD/CAM Design
Our CAD/CAM services convert 3D models into CNC programs for complex components, using Solidworks/SolidCAM software. We support clients from design verification to production of high-precision parts for nuclear, marine, and cryogenic applications. This service ensures accuracy and efficiency for demanding projects requiring surface contouring and extended machining cycles.
CNC Machining
We offer horizontal and vertical CNC machining with capacities up to 2000mm x 980mm x 1200mm. Capable of processing metals, alloys, and composites, this service delivers high-accuracy components for industries like oil and gas, power, and architecture. Our advanced equipment ensures tight tolerances for both prototypes and medium-volume batches.
Design Verification
Our verification services include thermal and stress analysis (FEA), metrology, and helium leak testing. These ensure component reliability for critical applications in vacuum, cryogenic, and high-pressure environments. Clients benefit from reduced redesign risks and compliance with stringent industry standards for complex systems.
Specialist Cleaning
In partnership with GRE, we provide documented cleaning and inert packing for vacuum and cryogenic components. Services include outgassing, bakeout, and contamination removal, meeting standards for organisations like the European Space Agency. This ensures components are delivered ready for immediate use in sensitive applications.
Manual Machining
Our manual machining capabilities complement CNC systems, handling bespoke parts with diameters up to 1500mm. This service supports repair work, low-volume production, and components requiring artisanal precision. Combined with skilled operators, it ensures flexibility for unique or legacy projects across multiple industries.
