What we do

“Our mission is to give shape to your ideas – a precise shape, with a signature of its own.”

Precise machines, skilled people

With our lathes and milling machines we give metal the shape and precision each part needs to fulfil its role in the project. We combine the skill of our people with the precision of our machines and treat every project with care, from the first conversation to the final inspection.

Our process

From drawing to part

Follow a part through our workshop: from the technical drawing you send us to the final inspection on the coordinate measuring machine.

The technical drawing

Everything starts with your request: the technical drawing or 3D model, the quantity, the material and your requirements for tolerances, finishes and delivery time.

The 3D model

In SOLIDWORKS we turn the requirements into 3D models and manufacturing drawings. We set the dimensions and tolerances and check that the components fit together before production.

CAM programming

In SolidCAM we plan the operations, generate the toolpaths and simulate the machining on the actual machine configuration. Any problem shows up on screen, not on the part.

CNC machining

The blank is clamped in the vice, the machine is set up and the first part is produced. Then comes the milling: facing, pocketing in layers, contouring and drilling.

Finishing and treatments

We deburr the parts and apply the required finishes. Heat and surface treatments such as hardening, nitriding, anodising or black oxide are carried out through our partners.

Quality control

Every part is checked on the coordinate measuring machine: dimensions, tolerances and surface requirements, compared against the technical drawing.

Packing and delivery

Inspected parts are packed so that nothing can happen to them in transit and are shipped together with the documents agreed with you.
