Comprehensive precision machining capabilities for defense applications, from complex geometries to micro-sized components with exacting tolerances.
Multi-axis CNC milling for complex defense components requiring repeatable precision. Capabilities span 3-, 4-, and 5-axis milling to produce intricate geometries critical to defense systems and weapons platforms.
High-precision CNC turning for cylindrical and complex-geometry defense parts. Tolerances down to ±.0002" with in-house secondary operations and inspection ensure mission-critical reliability.
Swiss turning for small-diameter, high-precision defense components with tight tolerances and exceptional surface finishes. Ideal for slender, intricate parts in titanium, stainless steel, and specialty alloys.
Production-intent defense prototyping with the same precision, compliance, and inspection standards as full production orders. Seamlessly transition to higher-volume runs once prototypes are approved, no reprogramming required.
Certified quality assurance with CMM, OASIS optical inspection, and Keyence systems measuring up to 99 dimensions on 100 parts simultaneously. Certificates of Conformance and inspection reports provided at no charge.
Skilled machining of defense-grade materials including titanium, stainless steels, aluminum, PEEK, and specialty alloys—delivering the durability and performance required by defense and weapons system specifications.
Virginia is home to some of the nation's most demanding defense contractors and federal programs, and Criterion Precision Machining is built to meet that standard. ITAR-registered and ISO 9001 certified, we produce defense components with tolerances down to ±.0002" using advanced 5-axis CNC milling, multi-axis CNC turning, and Swiss turning. From prototype to full production, every part undergoes rigorous multi-point inspection—because in defense, failure is simply not an option.
