Services
CNC Machining
Our CNC machining services utilise 3, 4, and 5-axis machining centres to produce precision components from 6mm up to 6.5 metres in length. Capable of handling single components through to ongoing production orders, we maintain tight tolerances across various materials including metals and composites. With over 25 CNC milling centres and automated systems, we ensure consistent quality and efficiency for both prototyping and large-scale manufacturing requirements.
CNC Automation
Our automated machining cells enable 24/7 production with improved quality and reliability. Featuring robotic loading systems with multiple pallet capacities, we handle batch sizes from single components to high-volume production. The flexible automation software allows rapid adaptation to changing requirements while maintaining traceability through numbered pallet positions and zero point fixturing systems for consistent accuracy.
Laser Scanning
Our handheld 3D laser scanning technology provides fast, portable measurement solutions for reverse engineering and inspection. Capable of capturing 1.3 million points per second with 20-micron volumetric accuracy, the system generates ready-to-use files for manufacturing or quality verification. This technology enables on-site scanning of complex surfaces and large structures without requiring fixed positioning equipment.
CMM Inspection
Our CMM and manual inspection services ensure product conformity to design specifications using calibrated measurement tools. The climate-controlled metrology room houses coordinate measurement machines with a maximum working envelope of 1500x1000x650mm. We perform first article inspections to SAE AS9102 standards for aerospace components and maintain comprehensive dimensional verification processes throughout manufacturing operations.
Reverse Engineering
Using advanced laser scanning and measurement technologies, we provide reverse engineering solutions for component analysis and design improvement. Our services include creating digital models from physical parts, optimising existing designs, and generating manufacturing-ready files. This capability supports clients needing to reproduce obsolete components or enhance performance characteristics of existing parts across various industrial applications.
