Capabilities
Tool Room
In-house jigs, fixtures and tooling built for repeatable, superior results.
24–48h
Typical fixture turnaround
EDM
+ surface grinding in-house
NPI-first
Built for new product speed
Overview
Our in-house tool room builds and maintains the jigs, fixtures and dies that every other capability in the building depends on — which is why our new product introductions move faster than a program relying on an outsourced toolmaker.
When a machinist and a toolmaker can have the same conversation about a fixture, revisions that would take a two-week outsourced cycle happen in an afternoon.
Process Overview
How a part moves through tool room
Tooling Design
Jig, fixture or die concepts are designed alongside the process engineer who'll run the part.
Fixture / Die Build
STS fitting, grinding and EDM work builds the tool to design intent.
Fit & Trial
The tool is trialled against real parts before it's signed off for production.
Handover to Production
The tool moves to the floor with full documentation and revision history.
Ongoing Maintenance
Running tools are maintained and refurbished through their production life.
Quality Checks
What we verify at every step
Fit trials against real parts before production handover
Dimensional verification of tooling datum features
Full tooling revision and maintenance history retained
