Key factors of our approach included:

Leveraging our existing stock and immediate capacity, we were able to quote the same day that we received the initial enquiry and get the parts into production immediately upon receipt of the order.

Rapid Turnaround Manufacturing Process

Our streamlined manufacturing process for the rapid 24-hour turnaround of the CNC Milled components included the following steps:

1. Design Analysis and Programming: Our engineers meticulously analyzed the design specifications provided by the technology start-up. They then developed highly optimized CNC programs to ensure accurate machining and a rapid turnaround.
2. Material Selection: Leveraging our stocked inventory, we carefully selected high-quality aluminium material that aligned with the project requirements. This eliminated the need for time-consuming material sourcing and accelerated the manufacturing process.
3. CNC Machining: With our advanced CNC machining capabilities and state-of-the-art equipment, we precisely machined the small aluminum components with exceptional accuracy. Our skilled machinists ensured that the tight tolerances and intricate features were achieved within the rapid turnaround timeframe.
4. Quality Control: Throughout the machining process, our dedicated quality control team conducted rigorous inspections to ensure that every component met the technology start-up’s exacting standards. This was not only crucial in maintaining our reputation for excellence and providing customers confidence in our work, but also a mandatory part of our ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System.
5. Finishing and Delivery: Following a thorough inspection, we meticulously deburred and cleaned the components to ensure a high-quality finish. We then packaged the components securely for prompt delivery, meeting the technology start-up’s tight schedule.

Thanks to our relentless commitment to meeting our customer’s needs, we were able to complete the production and dispatch the CNC-milled aluminium components within a remarkable timeframe of just eight working hours! This rapid turnaround was achieved without compromising on quality or accuracy.

Result: Rapid Turnaround within 24 Hours

Thanks to our efficient processes, well-stocked inventory, and dedicated team of engineers and machinists, we achieved a rapid turnaround time of 24 hours from the point of order. The small aluminium CNC Milled components were manufactured, inspected, and dispatched promptly, supporting the technology start-up’s ambitious development program and ensuring their project’s success.
