Services

What we run for you

First-article & incoming

Prove the part before you commit the lot. Dimensional package with callouts mapped to your print.

Fixture & process prove-out

Validate fixtures, setups, and critical features so the floor isn’t debugging scrap.

Production sampling

Periodic CMM checks that catch drift early — short turnaround, shop-readable reports.

Print → inspect

Additive or prototype parts: print, verify, iterate. Capability shown, not claimed.

Gage & thread work

Thread/plug gage checks and toolmaker’s microscope work for features CMM alone won’t own.

Shop content / demos

Need proof for customers or IMTS conversations? Documented inspection that sells the process.

Equipment

Bench that does the talking

01

Starrett CMM

Programmable dimensional inspection for prismatic parts, first-article, and sampling.

02

Mitutoyo toolmaker’s microscope

Fine feature work, edges, and verification where optical beat-touch matters.

03

Thread / plug gages

Go/no-go and attribute checks tied into the same report package.

04

3D printing + verify

Close the loop: prototype, measure, adjust — before metal hits the spindle.

Process

How a job runs

  1. Send the print PDF/STEP + what “pass” means for this lot. NDA available.
  2. Scope & quote Features, sample size, turnaround, and report format — clear before we touch a part.
  3. Inspect CMM / microscope / gages as needed. Photos of critical setups when useful.
  4. Deliver the packet Shop-readable PDF: results vs print, outliers flagged, ready for your customer or QMS.
