DIMENSIONAL TOLERANCES - Generally
±0.125mm per 25mm (±0.005" per inch) depending on component configuration.  No casting joint lines, no draft taper. Click here for detailed tolerance charts. 
 
SURFACE FINISH - Typically 3.2 microns (N8, 125 CLA)
 
TOOLING - Aluminium dies are used to produce wax patterns. Tooling costs are relatively low; modifications are usually easy and tool life is excellent.
 
SIZE RANGE - From less than 5mm long to more than 600mm.
 
QUANTITY - Depending on size and complexity, batch quantities as low as 25 can be economical. More typical quantities are hundreds or thousands and we have the capability of producing thousands per week.
 
RAPID PROTOTYPING - Using Stereolithography techniques or other similar rapid tooling methods, prototypes and samples can be quickly supplied.  We are one of just a few companies with our own rapid prototyping machine and the ability to make cast metal prototypes in aluminium, steels, copper and zinc alloys.  Click here for more info.
 
QUALITY - Approved to BS EN ISO 9001:2000 including Aerospace sector AS9100 and AECMA EASE. Also approved independently by many UK and international organisations.
