Everything below sits on the same floor: 5- and 3-axis milling, turning, wire EDM, welding, metrology and assembly. For purchasing that means one order, one shipment and one person accountable when something changes.

01 · 5-axis milling
One setup, five faces
The Axile centre with hyperMILL programming runs simultaneous 5-axis strategies verified in simulation before we touch material. Fewer setups means less stacked error: the relationship between holes and surfaces holds because the part is never released.
hyperMILL programming as a certified partner
Collision simulation and toolpath verification
Contoured surfaces with no polishing afterwards
Ideal for one-piece prototypes with no tooling
02 · 3-axis milling and turning
Eleven centres and three lathes for volume
Six Haas VF-3 to VF-6 and five Hision run in parallel, so a released program can be duplicated onto another machine the same day without re-validating the part. Three CNC lathes close out the turned parts of the same assembly.

When wire cutting and welding live outside, each one adds transit, queue and a seam of accountability. Here they are in the same building as the machining and the metrology.
Wire EDM
Cutting in already-hardened material with no cutting force and no distortion: sharp internal corners, narrow slots, punches and dies. It is the process that rescues a part when the design leaves no room for a cutter radius.
TIG, MIG and laser welding
Three processes chosen per joint rather than per availability: TIG where finish rules, MIG where deposit rules, laser where distortion rules. Parts are welded on fixtures machined in house.
CMM and assembly
Measurement happens between operations, not at the end, so a deviation is corrected while the part is still on the machine. The final assembly ships labelled and packed as a single unit.
04 · Capacity
Prototypes
24-hour quoting and a reserved machine window for one-off parts, so a prototype does not wait behind a production run.
Repeat runs
Programs and fixtures are kept by part number. The second order enters with no re-engineering and the same released inspection plan.
Materials
Carbon and alloy steels, stainless, hardened tool steel, aluminium and brass, with heat certificates tied to the lot.
For purchasing
One purchase order covers machining, EDM, welding, inspection and assembly: one shipment, one invoice, one accountable contact.
