Production,
run after run
Getting the prototype right is one thing. Running production reliably, run after run, is another.
That second part is where a lot of shops fall short, and it's where we've built our reputation. We take a program from approved first article into steady production without losing the attention to detail that got it approved.
Because the tooling, forming, cutting, machining, and inspection all happen under one roof, we can keep quality and schedule in our own hands instead of spread across suppliers.
Tooling
To market
faster
Our tooling and processes are built for low-volume runs. Short-run tooling can be finished in weeks, sometimes days, where mass-production tooling takes months, and it costs a fraction of the price.
That means less tied up in tooling and a faster path to market. And the parts come out at the same quality as full production tooling, or better.
Volumes
Built for the
work in between
Most programs run from a few hundred parts a year into the tens of thousands. That low-to-mid range is the work we do best: parts too complex or too small to justify a high-volume progressive die shop, and too time-sensitive to send overseas. It's the gap a lot of suppliers leave open.
Plenty of our clients started with a single prototype run and grew to two or three production runs a year as their program scaled. The relationship grows with the work, and when a program needs more, we've done more.
Capacity
The whole job,
under one roof
Fifteen stamping presses from 40 to 600 tonnes, four laser cutting systems, in-house CNC machining, plus welding and assembly give us the flexibility to respond when a program changes. Tooling is designed and built in-house, and every production run is verified on our own CMM equipment before it ships.
Lead times vary with complexity and volume. We'll give you an honest answer when you send us the scope, not an optimistic one.
Production Support
When the schedule
is at risk
Engineering changes, design failures, and tooling delays can put a milestone at risk. When they do, we step in fast, building tooling and parts to keep your schedule on track.
We modify production parts on short notice when designs change, adding holes or slots, or using our 5-axis laser to cut production parts before sheet-metal trim stations are even finished. The goal is simple: keep your line running.
How We Deliver
Made to keep
your line running
Delivery
JIT & Scheduled Delivery
We schedule production runs to match your delivery requirements. For clients on Kanban or JIT programs, we work to your pull schedule rather than pushing parts when it's convenient for us.
Restart a Program
Reverse Engineering
Have a physical part but no digital model? We measure the part, build the design data, and produce tooling and parts from there, so a component designed and built years ago can go back into production.
