Services
CNC Milling
Our CNC vertical milling services include 3D machining, producing complex components with high precision. Utilizing advanced machinery like the Brother Speedio S700 and XYZ 710 VMC, we ensure tight tolerances and superior surface finishes. This service caters to industries requiring durable, accurate parts in materials ranging from aluminium to stainless steel.
3D Printing
We offer 3D rapid prototyping using ABS plastic in nine colours, enabling cost-effective testing of product designs. Our models withstand functional testing, with options for drilling, tapping, and painting. This service accelerates design cycles, allowing early flaw detection and reducing development costs for low-volume production.
Fabrication
Our fabrication services include coded aluminium welding and full machine assembly in a dedicated clean area. Components are assembled to customer specifications, ensuring compatibility with complex systems. This service supports industries requiring custom-built machinery and sub-assemblies.
Surface Finishing
Surface finishing processes like blasting and rumbling enhance component durability and aesthetics. We prepare surfaces for plating or anodising, ensuring optimal adhesion and quality. This service is critical for industries demanding corrosion resistance and precise visual standards.
Design Service
Our full design service uses SolidWorks and Delcam CAM programming to create custom solutions. From concept to production, we collaborate with clients to optimise designs for manufacturability. This service ensures seamless integration with CNC and fabrication workflows.
