Engineering Experts

When it comes to your engineering needs, we will always be on the same page. We are experts in machining, CAM, CAD, and are knowledgeable across many facets of mechanical engineering. Our skills enable us to work closely with your team to ensure your parts not only work, but are cost-effective.

Fast and agile

Short lead times are crucial for R&D: a single bottleneck can stall your entire project. For small-quantity orders, we typically ship within 1 to 2 weeks. Most machine shops don’t even want to touch prototype work and often quote lead times in months! We also reject large production runs to keep our schedule flexible.

Capabilities

Custom Parts

Using our advanced 4 and 5 axis CNC mills, we can produce your custom designs in aluminum, steel or plastic to near-perfect precision. Our machine can handle parts with maximum dimensions of about 25” x 12” x 15” (X,Y,Z). Note: We do not produce lathe-specific parts. Contact us to learn more!

DFM Analysis

Our complimentary DFM (Design for Manufacture) Analysis saves you time and money by detecting and solving manufacturability issues in your designs. Our CAD/CAM expertise and creative engineering solutions have saved some customers up to 50% on unit costs! We can also reverse engineer and redesign certain parts in CAD that do not have drawings.

Prototyping/One-Offs

Our business centres around prototyping - it’s in our name, after all! Larger shops are optimized for big production runs and can’t profit from small jobs. To stay agile, we only accept low-volume work; we store thousands of pounds of material on-hand; and we maximize machine flexibility with quick-change fixtures, double-station vises, vacuum workholding, and a 4th-axis rotary!

Small Production Runs

We typically limit ourselves to production runs that take, at most, 2-3 weeks for us to complete. For small and simple parts, this is around a quantity of 500, while larger and more complicated parts are capped at around 150.

In-House Vapour Blasting

Looking for an amazing satin finish on your metal parts? Look no further than our in-house vapour blasting service! It can also be used to deburr/smoothen parts of certain materials.

Aluminum Anodizing

Anodizing is the most common protective coating for aluminum. It is very durable and can be dyed in many different colours. We work with anodizers that have great attention to detail and offer a variety of finishes from bright dipping to acid etching.

2021 Haas VF-2SS

with 4th Axis

This dependable CNC Mill boasts an impressive work envelope. With its 4th Axis Rotary, it can mill angled features with greater accuracy and efficiency than a standard 3-axis machine. Also, with 50% more travel in the X axis than our

5-Axis machine, it can machine larger parts.
