CAPABILITIES
Five in-house processes covering EDM, additive and final marking. Every job runs against a documented AS9100D quality plan with first-article inspection and full material traceability.
Wire EDM
Submerged 4-axis wire EDM cutting fully hardened steel, carbide and superalloys to ± 0.0001". No cutting force means no deflection on thin webs, and no burr means no secondary deburring operation in your routing.
| AXES | 4-axis, independent taper to 30° |
|---|---|
| MAX WORKPIECE | 23″ x 15″ x 12″, 2,200 lb |
| WIRE DIAMETER | 0.004″ – 0.012″ brass and coated |
| TOLERANCE | ± 0.0001″ positional, ± 0.0002″ contour |
| CORNER RADIUS | 0.0025″ internal minimum |
| SURFACE FINISH | To 16 µin Ra, skim-cut passes |
| MATERIAL HARDNESS | Unlimited — 70+ HRC routine |
| LEAD TIME | 4–8 days standard · 2 days expedite |
- Stamping die detailsPunches, buttons and inserts cut after heat treat — no grind-back allowance needed.
- Extrusion and form toolingTapered profiles and precision reliefs in one submerged program.
- Aerospace test couponsFir-tree and dovetail slots in turbine hardware with certified profile reports.
Sinker EDM
Ram EDM with automatic electrode changing for cavities and details no rotating tool can reach. Sharp internal corners, deep narrow ribs and mirror finishes burned into fully hardened material.
| AXES | 3-axis with orbital cycles |
|---|---|
| MAX WORKPIECE | 27″ x 18″ x 14″, 3,000 lb |
| ELECTRODES | Graphite and copper, in-house ATC |
| TOLERANCE | ± 0.0002″ |
| SURFACE FINISH | To 4 µin Ra mirror |
| CORNER RADIUS | Effectively sharp, 0.001″ typical |
| LEAD TIME | 5–9 days standard |
- Injection mold cavitiesTextured and polished cores with sharp corner detail.
- Forging die impressionsDeep ribs in H13 at full hardness.
- Keyways and internal splinesBlind features on finished shafts and hubs.
Hole-Popping EDM
High-speed EDM drilling of holes from 0.004" diameter at aspect ratios past 200:1 — cooling passages, weep holes, wire start holes and broken tap removal without damaging the surrounding part.
| HOLE DIAMETER | 0.004″ – 0.250″ |
|---|---|
| DEPTH RATIO | Up to 200:1 |
| MAX DEPTH | 16″ |
| TOLERANCE | ± 0.0005″ diameter and position |
| ANGLED ENTRY | Compound angles to 45° on curved surfaces |
| LEAD TIME | 2–5 days · same-day rescue jobs |
- Turbine cooling holesPatterned arrays at compound angles with position reports.
- Wire EDM start holesFeeding downstream wire work on closed contours.
- Broken tool rescueRemoving snapped taps from high-value castings without scrapping them.
Advanced 3D Printing
Dual-nozzle FDM printing in engineering polymers and carbon- and glass-filled composites, run in a heated chamber so PC, PPA-CF and PPS come off the plate stress-free. Soluble supports clear enclosed channels, and per-material shrinkage calibration keeps printed dimensions on the drawing rather than on a rendering.
| MACHINE | Bambu Lab H2D dual-nozzle FDM |
|---|---|
| BUILD VOLUME | 350 x 320 x 325 mm · 300 x 320 x 325 mm dual-material |
| NOZZLES | 0.2 – 0.8 mm hardened steel, 350 °C max |
| CHAMBER | 65 °C actively heated · 120 °C bed |
| MOTION ACCURACY | 50 µm vision-assisted encoder |
| AS-PRINTED TOLERANCE | ± 0.1 mm (± 0.004″) with per-material shrinkage calibration |
| SUPPORTS | Soluble PVA and BVOH for enclosed channels |
| LEAD TIME | 3–7 days |
- Inspection and holding fixturesCarbon-filled nylon jigs that locate parts through EDM and marking operations.
- Functional prototypesPC and PPS-CF parts proven at temperature before committing to hard tooling.
- Low-volume end-use partsChemically resistant PPS and ASA housings, guards and covers in small batches.
Laser Part Marking & Engraving
Fiber laser marking to MIL-STD-130 and ATA Spec 2000 — serialization, 2D data matrix, logos and legends applied in-house so traceability never leaves the building with your parts.
| STANDARDS | MIL-STD-130N, ATA Spec 2000, UDI |
|---|---|
| MARK FIELD | 12″ x 12″ flat · rotary for cylindrical |
| LINE WIDTH | 0.001″ minimum |
| MARK TYPES | Anneal, etch, ablate, deep engrave to 0.020″ |
| VERIFICATION | In-line grading, ISO/IEC 29158 reports |
| LEAD TIME | 1–3 days · same day on in-house parts |
- Serialized UID platesFull MIL-STD-130 nameplates with graded verification.
- Medical device UDIPassivation-safe annealed marks on implantable-grade stock.
- Tooling identificationDeep engraved part numbers that survive the life of the die.
