Conventional and CNC Machining

Q: What are the most machinable plastics?

There are a number of plastics whose properties lend themselves exceptionally well to machining. Such as Acetal, PET, cast nylon and PEEK.

Q: What is the maximum size of components you can machine?

We can machine flat components up to 1.5m wide by 3m long, and round bar components up to 780mm in diameter depending on the material and design.

Q: Can you assist with the design of components?

Yes, our team offers CAD services to help design and refine your components to meet exact specifications. Contact us regarding your project needs.

Q: Can you reverse engineer parts?

Absolutely. If you provide the part, even if it’s worn out, we can recreate it for you. Our portable coordinate measuring machine allows us to scan and digitise, then reverse engineer any component into a CAD model.

Q: What industries do you work with?

We serve a wide range of industries including food & beverage, aviation, wood processing, marine, manufacturing, mining, medical & pharmaceutical, architectural, rail, construction, transport infrastructure and many more.

Q: What is your typical turnaround time?

Turnaround time depends on the complexity and volume of the project. Contact us for an estimate based on your specific requirements.

Our three CNC machine shops located across New Zealand is where the magic happens. As well as conventional turning and milling capabilities, we have skilled Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machinists who can turn your material or idea into components. Call us today for your CNC machining requirements.

Benefits of CNC machining

CNC machining offers a wide range of advantages making it the ideal choice for precision manufacturing. Some of the top benefits include:

Exceptional accuracy – CNC machines achieve incredibly tight tolerances and consistent results.
Efficient – The automated processes reduce production times significantly allowing us to handle one-off prototypes and large-scale projects with speed and precision.
Cost-effective – The CNC machining process reduces overall costs by minimising material waste and streamlining production.
Versatile – CNC technology allows for complex shapes, intricate designs, and custom profiles across a wide range of materials.
Customised – CNC machines can meet the specific requirements for nearly any project imaginable.
