CAPABILITES
Production Products for Support of Retailers
In regular production, we execute cut products from a variety of materials to supply complete or component packages. We work with customers to accept designs or develop new designs into CAD-based files, which are then executed on our LASER CUTTING system. Screw holes can be tapped or PIMs can be set for the customer.
Examples
include Sheet Balsa Wood cut ribs and formers for model aircraft and
boats. Other examples are hospital and
school room signs or interior business signs, inlays, gears, sprockets and
gaskets.
Custom Products as OEM
We can design and cut to fit. Using a fast cycle time, custom needs can be met through rapid design and cut iterations, giving the customer flexibility that may not be available from traditional prototype machining cycles. Once design is validated, multiple copies can be fabricated with ease. Your project does not need to be highly sophisticated; because the cutting speed is fast, our shop may also be ideal for your lampshade, envelope or box product.
Example products include shaped electronic heat transfer foams, instrument faceplates, electronic component mounting plates, LED light pipes, and optical mounting rigs.
Materials
can be acrylics and other plastics, silicone, plastic foams, phenolic sheet, wood, etc.
We are open to innovative approaches – there are still undiscovered
techniques in laser milling and we’re willing to try them.
Innovation Support
We can’t innovate for you, but we can help your innovation process be more efficient. The ability to produce prototype objects with minimum iteration time allows rapid development of concepts. Simple CAD operations allow slightly modified copies of a central design to be executed in a single cutting run. For example, designs for shears could be cut from acrylic with different sized finger holes, and a variety of pivot point positions. Though the production material may not be plastic (unless investment casting is used), concept development time can be considerably shortened by plastic prototyping. Our contacts with other shops can integrate other materials into your prototype. Our technical expertise can assist those of you in academic research too – laser fabrication is an ideal way to get experimental rigs working quickly.
