Liquid Silicone Rubber: A Faster Alternative to Injection Molded Silicone Parts
There's no doubt that injection molding is an excellent method for manufacturing silicone parts at scale. But the lead times and costs can be prohibitive if you’re only in the prototyping phase. In most cases, spending upwards of $30K on steel tooling for a prototype model or bridge production project
How 5-Axis Machining Saves You Time and Money
In 2021, we fortified our 5-axis CNC machining services and capabilities by adding a Matsuura MX-850 5-axis vertical machining center to our shop floor. This machine is an absolute powerhouse with the ability to achieve tight tolerances and manufacture large, bulky parts with exceptional speed. A common misconception about 5-axis machining
Material Highlight: Magnesium Machining
What does early 20th-century photography have in common with modern precision aerospace parts? The answer is element number 12 on the periodic table—Magnesium (Mg). Named after the Greek region Magnesia, magnesium is an abundant element found in seawater and the earth’s crust. This cost-effective metal boasts exceptional machinability and a high strength-to-weight
