CNC Production

CNC (computer numerically controlled) production is the quickest, most accurate and most cost-effective method of producing medium to large batches of identical parts. Our design and manufacturing engineers use computer aided design and manufacturing software for rapid design and setting up of production jobs.

Using an efficient workflow for design and to programme work through production allows us to offer a competitive cost and turnaround on your products while maintaining revision accuracy and quality.

Your design drawing is transferred into our CAD package which we then use to produce production drawings. These are returned to you for approval and form part of the manufacturing process once they are signed off as correct. After you have approved the production drawings, the design is entered into a CAM programme which breaks the design into stages of manufacture. Finally post-processing software translates the output of the CAM files into instructions for our machines to make the products or components.

For design or production drawings we can accept CAD files in AutoCAD 2008 or earlier format, either .dwg or .dxf, by e-mail or supplied on disc. PDFs with comments are also welcome. Our engineers will be happy to offer advice at the design stage to assist in acheiving the most cost effective solution from a manufacturing perspective.

For prototype and small batch work where CNC machining is not required we can set up and make products by hand.
