Automotive Industry
Prototype and short run automotive parts and assemblies, with a particular strength in complex tuning components.
We specialise in the prototype and short run manufacture of parts and assemblies, and we are known for our ability to manufacture complex components for automotive customers, especially in the automotive tuning field.
Tuning work is unforgiving in a useful way: quantities are small, geometry is complex, and the customer notices every surface. Parts that satisfy that audience tend to satisfy production buyers too.
How We Support This Sector
| Process | Application in Automotive Parts | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| CNC Milling | Engine components, housings and brackets | Complex geometry with tolerance of +/-0.005 mm |
| CNC Turning | Shafts, threaded components and adaptors | Concentricity to +/-0.005 mm and finish to Ra 0.4 |
| CNC Machining | Precision assemblies and tuning parts | Multiple planes machined in one setting on the 4th axis |
| Metal Stamping | Clips, brackets and repeat volume parts | Low piece cost once tooling is amortised |
| Die Casting | Near net shape volume components | Cast in features with machining of critical faces afterwards |
Capability Behind These Parts

Milling and Turning
Milling 2 to 1000 mm diameter and turning 1 to 300 mm bar, both at +/-0.005 mm.
Materials
Aluminum, steel, stainless steel, titanium, brass, copper and engineering plastics.
Inspection
First piece, in-process and final inspection, with certification at every stage on request.
Automotive Industry FAQ
Do you make automotive tuning parts?
Yes, that is one of our strengths. We specialise in prototype and short run manufacture and are known for complex tuning components.
Can you take a part from prototype to production?
Yes. Prototype work runs on the same equipment and under the same inspection as production, so the transition does not change the part.
Which surface treatments suit automotive parts?
Anodizing for aluminum, electroplating and powder coating for steel. We select based on the environment the part works in rather than defaulting to the cheapest.
