CNC machining services
We run one 4-axis mill and one CNC lathe in Belltown, Seattle, focused on prototypes and short-run parts. Materials we regularly keep on hand include 6061, 7075, stainless, tool steel, Delrin, and other engineering plastics. Every job ships with simple measurement notes so you know what we checked.
Waterjet cutting
We support WAZER abrasive waterjet cutting for metal, plastic, composite, rubber, gasket, and panel work. Send DXF, STEP, drawings, or sketches; we can help clean up geometry and identify which features should be machined after cutting.
Laser engraving
We use a MOPA fiber laser for part IDs, serial numbers, QR codes, control panels, nameplates, and short-run branded parts. Engraving can be bundled with CNC machining, waterjet cutting, and assembly so parts arrive marked and ready to use.
PCB design
We design and debug prototype circuit boards for embedded products, fixtures, sensors, controls, and test rigs. That includes schematic capture, PCB layout, bring-up, harness planning, and firmware or data logging support.
Mechatronics & embedded support
Need firmware tweaks, harnesses, or test rigs alongside the machined parts? We can help with quick firmware flashes, data capture, and bench fixtures so you aren’t chasing separate vendors.
Tooling, fixtures, and 3D printing
We keep two engineering-grade printers online for workholding, assembly aids, and lightweight fixtures. When a machined plate or carbon-filled print will save time on the next build, we include it.
Engagement options
- Project-based machining: Send CAD or prints; we’ll program, machine, inspect, and ship.
- Hands-on partner: Keep us in the loop on firmware and test, and we’ll jump on calls or Slack as work progresses.
- Sustaining support: Hold recurring slots on the mill or lathe for ongoing hardware programs.
