Special Processes:
- We have an extensive base of approved suppliers for materials, heat treatment, welding, plating, coatings and testing.
CAD/CAM
Advanced Machining utilizes Mastercam 3D solid modeling and CAM programming for CNC milling, turning and EDM processes. We commonly receive part drawings in the following formats: IGES, DXF, ParaSOLIDS, VDA, STEP, DWG and SAT, but can accommodate other formats as needed. We also utilize Spaceclaim Engineer to support 3D modeling.
Quality Assurance
Advanced Machining is AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 certified. Documentation management is supported by ShopTech E2 enterprise software. Our gage blocks, surface plates and instruments are calibrated and traceable, per ISO 9001:2015 requirements.
