Milling Services

Milling Department

Through our use of performance cutting tools, reliable tooling, and modern CAM programming software our milling department produces the parts you need consistently and accurately. Our CAM software allows us to leverage the most performance out of our cutting tools, while also providing real-world accurate simulation of the machining environment before we ever take tool to metal. Prismatic parts are our core competency.

Our specialties are parts which fit in a 6” cube, up to parts which fit into a 10” x 10” x 24” work envelope. Though we often make parts that fit on a fingertip, we can on a case-by-case basis accommodate much longer parts than 24”. Typical job volumes are measured from prototypes up through 100pcs, and we accept one-off jobs and recurrent production work. We are not a high-volume manufacturer, and our equipment is tailored to short-run jobs.

We regularly use Multi-Axis Surfacing, 4th Axis Rotary Milling, and Dynamic Milling strategies to produce complex parts in less time and with less manual intervention than traditional techniques.
