Frequently asked questions
What CAM software do you use?
ESPRIT EDGE, including its 5-axis impeller and blisk strategies and full machine simulation. Every program is simulated against a model of the actual machine before it runs.
What file formats do you accept?
STEP, IGES, SolidWorks, DXF and PDF drawings. A STEP model plus a PDF drawing with tolerances is ideal.
Can your machines run lights-out?
Yes. Our machining centers and mill-turns are set up for KUKA robotic tending, which lets repeat production run beyond staffed hours.
Have a print or a STEP model?
Send it over. We review every RFQ by hand and include a lead time with every quote.
