CNC Machining

CNC machining is a subtractive manufacturing process which employs computerised controls and achine tools to remove layers of material from a stock piece (blank or workpiece) to produce a custom-design part. Our machine is capable of working with a wide range of materials including aluminum, plastics, wood foam and composites such as carbon fibre.

The automated nature of CNC machining enables the production of high precision parts and offers cost- effectiveness when fulfilling one-off and medium volume production runs.

We can take your idea design and manufacture through the typical CAD/CAM process….

  • Design the CAD model
  • Convert the CAD file to a CNC program
  • Prepare the CNC machine
  • Execute the machining opeation

3D Printing

3D printing follows much the same process as CNC machining, however, it is additive rather than subtractive. Additive processes assemble layers of material to produce the desired form, which in our cases, is various types of platic. Options inclde the most common materials such as PLA, ABS and PATG but more specialised filaments such as fibre PETG and soluable PVA are also an option.

3D printing is a process perfectly suited to generating one off designs, it is precise and capable of turning out full working assemblies of parts. Prints can commonly take 24 hours of machine and for that reason, unless a part is small, it is not a process suited to even limited production runs https://beit-mirkahat.com/. 

Carbon Fibre and Fibreglass Composites

The high strength properties of glass and carbon fibre composite allow for less material to be used than other more traditional structural materials and thus lowers weight in critical design situations. It is also particularly cost effective for complex shapes . We have the capability to replicate parts or designs by producing master patterns and fibre glass moulds from original items or 3D models.

Wet lay up fibre glass and carbon fibre is carried out in house however autoclaved and “prepreg” production quality models are outsourced from a longstanding supplier.

Mould Making

We use a two-part condensation cure silicone rubber for mould making. It is mixed (with its catalyst) and then poured around a pattern to create a flexible silicone mould.

The cured mould can then be used to produce precise replicas of the original part, including fine surface detail, out of a range of materials including polyester, epoxy and polyurethane resin, urethane foam, wax, casting plaster and even reconstituted stone.

Engineering/ Fabrication

Components can be light fabricated and welded in mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium. The final product can be supplied in a range of different finishes and hardness’s. The main finishes that can be offered include :

  • Paint
  • Powder Coated
  • Hard Chromed Plated
  • Chemically Blacked
  • Hard & Colour Anodised
