Equipment

A small set of machines, chosen for the parts we make.

Enclosed CNC mill

Machines plates, brackets, hubs, spacers and fixtures from solid stock, for parts that take load or need accurate faces and bores.

  • ProcessCNC milling
  • Typical partsPlates, brackets, hubs, spacers
  • MaterialsConfirmed per job at quote
  • Size and toleranceStated on your quote for your part

Advanced 3D printers

FDM printing for gears, mounts, enclosures, jigs and short production runs, in standard and engineering filaments.

  • ProcessFDM 3D printing
  • Typical partsGears, mounts, enclosures, jigs
  • MaterialsSee the list below
  • BatchesSingle parts to repeat runs

Resin printer

Prints small parts with fine detail and smooth surfaces, cured from liquid resin one thin layer at a time.

  • ProcessResin 3D printing (SLA)
  • Typical partsSmall housings, clips, fine-detail parts
  • MaterialsConfirmed per job at quote
  • Size and toleranceStated on your quote for your part

5-axis CNC mill

Tilts and turns the part while it cuts, so angled faces and holes on several sides can be machined in one setup.

  • Process5-axis CNC milling
  • Typical partsHubs, manifolds, angled brackets
  • MaterialsConfirmed per job at quote
