Overview A German client, in the brewery industry, required a one piece round shape component to be used as a spray mechanism for an industrial cleaning machine. This component was literally a how not to design a component for machining study. It had every complication that makes machining difficult; deep pockets, narrow access, thin walls, […]

Overview Our customer required fixturing and machining of 4 different aluminium castings for a lightweight door opening mechanism for a new supercar. The castings were to be heat treated for increased strength which always introduces a random element into the equation.  Requirement To develop a fixturing and machining strategy, initially for castings of several prototypes […]

Overview We were asked by Sarginsons Industries to assist with the machining of an extremely complex B Pillar for a new car that was critical to the future success of a world renowned automotive OEM. Sarginsons are a specialist aluminium foundry who focus on using digital twin simulations with topological optimisation to design and manufacture […]

Overview We were asked to machine the prototypes of large, aluminium battery trays developed for a new electric SUV. Lightweight is a critical demand of all Electric Vehicles but that comes with its own set of problems as tolerances are tighter and demands more complex as parts become smaller, thinner and more structural.  Being structural […]

Overview We were asked by Sarginsons Industries, an aluminium foundry, to find a machining solution for a challenging casting for the brand new engine of a £3m supercar. The complexity and fine tolerances of this component demanded several innovative approaches, in both casting and CNC machining, made more difficult by an extremely tight time frame. […]
