Our Precision Machining Services

Integrated machining, inspection, prototyping, EDM, and turning capabilities for complex, mission-critical components.

CNC Milling

Advanced 3-, 4-, and 5-axis milling for complex geometries, tight pockets, fine features, and mission-critical components in titanium, stainless steel, plastics, alloys, and exotic materials.

CNC Turning

Precision turning for cylindrical and complex parts, using multi-tasking live tooling to reduce setups, control tolerance stack-up, and support micro- to medium-sized production components.

Swiss Turning

High-repeatability Swiss screw machining for small-diameter components, fine micro-features, deep cuts, and diameters as small as .010" in demanding regulated applications.

Prototyping

Production-intent CNC prototypes manufactured on final production equipment, allowing qualified programs to transition into higher volumes without reprogramming or unnecessary requalification steps.

Quality Inspection

Integrated CMM, optical, and image-dimension inspection with incoming verification, FAIR, in-process checks, final inspection, and traceability documentation for regulated parts.

Wire EDM

Precision wire EDM for burr-free profiles, sharp internal corners, narrow slots, thin-wall features, and intricate contours in hard or difficult-to-machine materials.
