PROTOTYPING AND MANUFACTURING SERVICES
ECCENTROID SERVICES OVERVIEW
PROTOTYPING
-
Design is new
-
Flexibility to optimize designs for manufacturability
-
Quantity: 1-20 parts
-
Size: <300mm diameter
-
Lead time: 1-5 days (with standard tooling)
HARD-TO-FIND PARTS
-
Typically, some parts are no longer made or are made in a foreign country
-
Parts are reverse engineered
-
Dimensions are tracked to monitor compatibility
PRODUCTION (low-mid volume)
-
Unchanging design that has been machined before
-
Toleranced drawings with solid datum structure
-
Quantity
-
Typically 20-1000
-
Lean repeats of 5-19 possible with setup charge
-
-
Size: <450mm diameter​
-
Lead time: 2-5 weeks
CAPABILITIES SUMMARY
We specialize in 5-axis machining with a focus on accuracy and consistency
​
-
Benefits of 5-axis CNC Machining
-
Tight tolerance machining within a global reference frame
-
Capable of expanded (see picture below) geometries
-
Potential cost savings
-
When design combines features on multiple sides
-
When this design freedom allows fewer parts
-
-
Flexibility and focus on tooling marks and finish
-
-
The Eccentroid difference
-
Experienced manufacturing engineer on-staff to help optimize your RFQ
-
Advanced fixturing for process consistency in production
-
Inspection performed on a calibrated CMM
-
Equipment calibration traceable to NIST (annual certification)
-
GD&T-trained machining and verification practices
-
Inspection reports available
-
​
Good Fit
-
Repeat production work (<450mm dia.)
-
Urgent parts within days (<300mm dia.)
-
Tolerances that are too tight to trust an anonymous web-portal
-
Challenging, non-standard geometry
-
Customers who value consistency and communication
Not a fit: large parts, one-off hobby work, or price-only RFQs
CAPABILITIES
Simultaneous 5-Axis Milling
We solve your toughest 5-Axis challenges with innovative fixturing, HyperMill CAM programming, rigorous 5-axis CMM inspection, and proven results.
CNC Turning
We excel at simple precision CNC turning. Our gang tool lathe doesn't have many tool positions, but it is precise and fast in production situations.
Wire EDM
Our wire EDM services involve an experienced precision machinist with a brand new Fanuc wire EDM.
Laser Welding
Our Laser welding expertise enables you to solve your design challenges with flexibility and strength. Materials include stainless steel, aluminum, and titanium.
3D Sheet Metal Forming
We design and build custom dies plus provide manufacturing to give you control over your sheet metal parts supply chain.
Laser Engraving
Our 50W laser engraver cuts deep on stainless. It is a galvo style which is good for random surfaces at odd angles.
