Services
Composite Tooling
Our composite tooling services combine advanced CNC milling with expert craftsmanship to create precision molds for aerospace, marine, and industrial applications. Using high-density tooling boards and temperature-resistant materials, we produce molds that maintain dimensional accuracy within strict tolerances. Our team specializes in both open and closed molding techniques, ensuring optimal surface finish and structural integrity for production parts.
CNC Milling
With eight 3-5 axis CNC milling centers operating around the clock, we handle complex machining projects up to full shipping dimensions. Our capabilities include syntactic foam patterns, high-temp autoclave tools, and large-scale composite components. The milling systems accommodate work envelopes from 30x15x8 to 68x28x14, supporting both prototype development and production runs.
Pattern Fabrication
We create accurate patterns through both CNC machining and hand-crafted methods using materials like urethane, tooling board, and syntactic foam. Our patterns serve as master models for mold creation, supporting both low-volume and high-volume production requirements. The process includes tolerance verification against CAD models to ensure dimensional accuracy before mold fabrication begins.
Project Management
Our dedicated program managers coordinate all aspects of composite manufacturing projects, from initial design review through final delivery. They maintain continuous communication with client teams, manage timelines across multiple components, and ensure adherence to quality standards throughout production phases. This integrated approach minimizes delays and maintains alignment with project specifications.
3D Digitization
Using coordinate measuring machines and 3D scanning technology, we verify physical components against CAD models to ensure compliance with design specifications. Our digitization services support reverse engineering of legacy parts, tolerance analysis of production tooling, and creation of digital twins for quality documentation. Full CMM reports provide traceable measurement data for quality assurance purposes.
