    Defence6061-T6 Aluminium0.01 mm on critical features

    Precision housings for sensitive electronic assemblies

    Challenge

    A Sydney prime contractor needed small batches of aluminium housings machined in our Sydney workshop with material certificates supplied.

    Approach

    5-axis CNC milling from solid billet, in-process inspection on critical bores, anodised finish and serialised packing.

    Outcome

    Parts delivered to drawing first time, with on-shore traceability the client could submit to their compliance team.

    Aerospace316 Stainless, Grade 5 Titanium0.02 mm on shaft diameters

    Turned components for ground support equipment

    Challenge

    Repeat batches of stainless and titanium turned parts with tight diametral tolerances and consistent surface finish.

    Approach

    CNC turning with live tooling for cross-holes and flats, dedicated work-holding for batch consistency, full dimensional reporting.

    Outcome

    Stable repeat supply from one Sydney workshop, removing the buyer's need to manage multiple subcontractors.

    Prototype iteration for a Class I device

    Challenge

    An Australian medical device start-up needed rapid prototype iterations of a precision housing before tooling commitment.

    Approach

    CNC machined prototypes in PEEK and aluminium, design-for-manufacture feedback at each revision, same-week turnarounds on follow-up versions.

    Outcome

    Three design revisions completed without delaying the client's clinical evaluation timeline.

    MiningMild Steel Plate, Bisalloy wear plateFabrication to drawing

    Wear plates and fabricated brackets for site equipment

    Challenge

    Replacement of imported wear plates and brackets with locally manufactured equivalents to shorten lead times.

    Approach

    Fibre laser cutting of mild steel plate on the 1530 Bystronic DNE, welded sub-assemblies finished in-house.

    Outcome

    Local replacement parts that the site could order direct without sea-freight delays.

    304 stainless guards and frames for processing line

    Challenge

    A NSW food processor needed 304 stainless guards and frames designed to wash down clean.

    Approach

    Laser-cut blanks, brake-press forming, TIG-welded frames finished to a hygienic standard, supplied with installation hardware.

    Outcome

    Installed in a planned shutdown window with no rework, allowing the line to return to production on schedule.
