Design Review and Feasibility Analysis
Our engineering team collaborates with you to review your CAD models and drawings. We perform a thorough analysis, offering DFM and DFA (Design for Assembly) recommendations to optimize the part for manufacturability, performance, and cost-efficiency before any metal is cut.
Prototype Automotive Fabrication and Testing
Using the most suitable technology (CNC machining, 3D printing), we rapidly produce high-fidelity prototypes for your evaluation. This phase allows for rigorous testing, design validation, and necessary refinements, mitigating risk before committing to production tooling.
Process Optimization and Pre-Production Validation
Once the design is finalized, we engineer and optimize the full production process. This includes designing and manufacturing custom fixtures and tooling, and running a pre-production batch to validate the manufacturing line, ensuring it meets all quality and output targets.
Full-Scale CNC Automotive Production
With the process validated, we launch into full-scale production. Our automated CNC systems and skilled operators work around the clock to deliver your parts with consistent precision, supported by Statistical Process Control (SPC) to monitor quality in real-time.
Quality Control and Continuous Improvement
Our commitment to quality is continuous. Throughout production, parts undergo stringent inspections using CMMs, vision systems, and other metrology equipment. We foster a culture of continuous improvement, constantly seeking ways to enhance quality, efficiency, and value for our clients.
