In-house manufacturing:
38 processes across machining, sheet metal, prototyping and finishing
All 38 processes run in our own shop, so nothing is subcontracted out and no tolerance drifts between steps. Compare what each process can hold, then send the drawing — we quote within one working day.

CNC machining, sheet metal and prototyping families
Most parts start in one of three places. Each family groups the processes that share a machine, a tolerance band and a way of holding the work — so the pages you compare are actually comparable.
CNC machiningFor parts cut from solid metal or plastic — threads, bores, tight datums and repeat features. The deepest of the three, and where most RFQs start.
Sheet metal & formingFlat stock cut, bent and joined into enclosures, brackets, chassis and panels — parts judged on fit and form, not on a tolerance band.
Prototyping & moldingFirst article to production tooling — prints, casts, moulds, and the soft tools you use before committing to steel.
Finishing and material services that run alongside them
Same shop, same enquiry desk. These are coatings, heat treatments and material-specific services rather than a way of cutting or forming metal, so they sit beside the three families above rather than inside them.
38 processes, each with the tolerance and lead time it publishes
Every process page, grouped the same way. Where a page publishes a tolerance or turnaround, it shows here — filter by family or search by name. Where it does not, we settle it against your drawing at quote.

Cutting, forming and finishing under one roof
Machining, forming and finishing are not subcontracted out. That keeps a tolerance from drifting between steps — and lets a revision be answered the same day it lands.

Four ways in, depending on the part you need
- 01Start a machining quote
I need a part cut from solid metal or plastic
Start with CNC machining. Threads, bores and flatness callouts all land here — it is the deepest of the three families.
- 02Start a sheet metal quote
I need something flat, folded or enclosed
Go to sheet metal & forming. Cutting, bending, stamping and welding sit together because most parts need more than one.
- 03Start a prototype quote
I need one part before I need a thousand
Use prototyping & molding for prints, soft tools and vacuum casts, then step up to production tooling once the geometry stops moving.
- 04Talk to an engineer
I am not sure yet
Send the drawing. Deciding the route is our job, and one conversation is quicker than comparing every process page yourself.
Lead time, tolerances, file formats and confidentiality
Which process should I pick for my part?
Do you publish tolerances for every process?
How fast can you turn a part around?
Can I combine processes — machining plus anodizing, for instance?
What file types do you accept?
Is my drawing kept confidential?
Send a drawing, get the process and the price
You do not need to know which of the 38 processes you need. Send the file and the routing, the tolerance and the turnaround come back together.
- STEP, IGES, SLDPRT, STL, DXF, DWG, PDF — and ZIP if there are several

- Quoted within one working day on standard machining enquiries

Attach the model and the drawing if you have one. A description alone is enough to begin.
