01 / From print to part
Email your drawing, PDF, STEP, DXF, IGES to [email protected] — with quantity, material, and finish if you have them. One part or a hundred, send it over. No formal drawing? Send a sketch and we'll draft it into something manufacturable.
A real machinist reviews feasibility and sends price and lead time, usually within a couple of business days. We'll flag anything that saves you money or causes trouble before you commit.
We machine, finish, and inspect to your print — with material traceability and First Article Inspection reports when your job calls for them — then ship parts ready to install.
02 / Our work
A sample of recent work across defense, automotive, and industrial equipment. Most jobs are bespoke — sent in as a print, quoted, machined, finished, and shipped. Yours would be the same.
Don't see your part? That's the point — we build to your drawing.
