CNC Turning (Lathe)
Rotational machining for cylindrical and symmetrical parts — shafts, bushings, fittings, and threaded components.
2-Axis Turning
Standard OD/ID turning, facing, grooving, and threading for cylindrical parts produced on 2-axis CNC lathes.
Learn More3-Axis Turning (Live Tooling)
Live-tooling lathes combine turning with milling and drilling in one setup for complex features on rotational parts.
Learn MoreVMC (Vertical Machining Centre)
Vertical spindle machining for complex prismatic components across aluminium, steel, stainless, and engineering plastics.
3-Axis VMC
Vertical milling for prismatic parts, pockets, profiles, and drilled features with efficient access from the top face.
Learn More4-Axis VMC
Indexed or continuous 4th-axis capability for multi-face machining without separate setups.
Learn More5-Axis VMC
Simultaneous or 3+2 five-axis milling for complex contours, undercuts, and high-precision aerospace and medical geometries.
Learn MoreHMC (Horizontal Machining Centre)
Horizontal spindle machining optimised for production volume, multi-face access, and consistent chip control.
3-Axis HMC
Horizontal milling suited to boxy parts, tombstone fixturing, and high chip evacuation on production runs.
Learn More4-Axis HMC
Pallet and rotary-table HMC setups for multi-face production machining with shorter cycle times.
Learn More5-Axis HMC
Advanced horizontal five-axis machining for complex housings and structural components requiring multi-sided access.
Learn MoreCNC Routing
3 to 4-axis routing for softer materials — plastics, composites, and select aluminium grades — where high material removal rates and large-format machining are required.

Surface Conditioning
Deburring
Removes machining burrs from edges and drilled/tapped features, performed manually or via vibratory/tumbling finishing depending on part complexity.
Learn MoreEdge Breaking
Standard edge treatment to remove sharp corners per drawing callout, typically 0.005"-0.015" chamfer or radius.
Learn MoreBead Blasting
Produces a uniform matte texture, removes tool marks, and prepares the surface for subsequent coating.
Learn MoreVibratory Finishing / Tumbling
Batch surface finishing for small to medium machined parts, removing burrs and improving surface uniformity across high-volume production runs.
Finishing
Anodising
Electrochemical oxide coating for aluminium parts — Type II and Type III hardcoat options for corrosion resistance and wear performance.
Learn MorePowder Coating
Electrostatic application of dry powder cured under heat to form a durable, protective finish.
Learn MoreElectroplating
Depositing a thin layer of metal (like zinc or nickel) onto the surface using electric current.
