5 Axis Machines

Machining can be provided as either a stand alone service or can be combined with the processing of composite parts for inserts and/or detailed precision features such as slots, holes, threads or other requirements.

Our workshop consists of four full 5-axis machines ranging in size:

  • CMS – 2600x1500x1200mm
  • CMS – 3600x1800x1200mm
  • Mazak – 3000x1000x700mm
  • Mazak – 500x500x500mm

Extensive Range of Materials

We offer an extensive 5-axis CNC machining service and are capable of processing a range of materials including, but not limited to:

  • Polyurethane model boards
  • Epoxy model boards
  • Aluminium
  • Polystyrene
  • Timber

Autodesk Power Mill

The CAM package that we use for programming machine paths for the manufacture of parts is Autodesk Power Mill.

It maximises CNC machine efficiency and improves productivity with lights-out machining. Once programming is complete, we use CGTech Vericut software to fully simulate the NC code prior to machining to safe guard against any potential collisions and programming anomalies on the machines.

Following the machining process, a full inspection is undertaken in our dedicated inspection facility to verify dimensional accuracy. Find out more about our 3D scanning and inspection services.

If you opt for a start-to-finish project then visit our Materials and Finishes page to see all of the finishes available.

    TALK TO THE EXPERTS

    Established in 1985, we have built a strong reputation for manufacturing excellent products within tight timescales and to extremely high tolerances. In order to achieve this, we use state of the art equipment and traditional, time honoured processes and skills.
