A guide to our cutting-edge machining facilities

January 23, 2025

We utilise our extensive and capable machine shop to support and enhance our manufacturing processes.

Our machining facilities are used to create components or tooling within the construction of a product assembly. This ensures that we are able to provide complex, quality products for customers in a variety of high-performance markets.


Machining is used at all stages of the product cycle, from pattern machining for composite moulds and tooling through to precision finishing of final components. Having this capability in-house, and at our Bicester site, eliminates any potential sub-contracting issues or delays and facilitates fast-make, high-volume production.

The following are selected examples of our machines and their capabilities:


Mazak Vari-Axis i600:

·        Simultaneous 5 axis CNC machining centre

·        Maximum part diameter of 600mm x 600mm x 600mm

·        MSP software installed to optimise fixturing and part-setting

·        Works with range of different metals

·        Can be integrated with additive manufacturing products


SAHOS 5 Axis:

·        Simultaneous 5 axis vertical machine

·        Maximum part diameter of 3000 x 1500 x 800

·        Spindle with a maximum of 20,000 rpm

·        Works with range of different composite materials


Our machining capabilities also include 6 axis precision laser cutting, solid-state laser welding, twin-spindle turning and Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) 3D printing facilities.
