Explore our turnkey manufacturing solutions spanning 5-axis subtractive milling, gear fabrication, and advanced selective laser melting with instant CAD-to-part production pathways.
Modern design requirements in aerospace, robotics, and fluidics have exceeded the boundaries of conventional subtractive cutting alone. Our industrial facility fuses sub-micron 5-axis CNC machining with 515nm green-laser metal LPBF (Laser Powder Bed Fusion) to realize previously impossible internal complexities.
By leveraging high-torque direct-drive trunnion tables, our multi-axis centers eliminate multiple workholding operations. This guarantees geometric concentricity, true position down to ±0.005 mm, and flawless continuous 3D contouring for impellers, blisks, and structural housings.
Standard 1064nm infrared fiber lasers experience over 90% optical reflection on pure copper, resulting in unstable melt pools and severe porosity. Our 515nm green laser achieves >99.8% relative density, unlocking conformal cooling for next-generation EV thermal plates.
Instead of converting expensive billet stock into 85% swarf, our engineering staff recommends hybrid additive near-net builds followed by high-speed CNC finishing. This lowers material expenditure on exotic superalloys like Inconel 718 and Ti-6Al-4V Grade 5.
Operating from Dongguan, Guangdong Province—the world's densest advanced manufacturing epicenter—TC Precision harnesses a closed-loop supply ecosystem that compresses prototype-to-production cycles by over 60% compared to Western counterparts.
Certified aerospace-grade wrought alloys (AL7075-T651, Stainless 17-4PH, Invar 36, and PEEK) are procured within a 2-hour radius. Mill test certifications accompany every stock lot with strict chemical spectroscopy and Charpy impact testing validation.
Secondary treatments—including Hard Anodizing Type III Class 2, Electroless Nickel Plating (MIL-C-26074), TiN PVD coating, vacuum stress relieving, and deep cryogenics—are executed via dedicated audited lines, removing typical subcontractor logjams.
Our shop floor uses automated ERP loading to monitor real-time spindle uptime across 30+ precision machine tools. This dynamic balancing enables single-prototype agility while sustaining scalable 10,000-part production runs without machine downtime.
