Definitive Design is adept at sheet metal fabrication. Copper, aluminum, and stainless steel are just a few of the metals we're capable of working with. Our state of the art machine shop enables us to perform high precision secondary operations such as riveting, bending, cutting, welding, punching, and small scale assembly.
With 3 and 4 axis capabilities, we are able to select the most cost effective production method. Our innovative fixturing and workholding methods and in-house fixture design & manufacture get your parts into production quickly. With a variety of software available, we can select the most suitable system to generate optimum toolpaths. Finished parts that weigh five ounces, that were machined from a five pound block of aluminum, are routine. Mold cores and cavities, cure plates, and other multi-surface 3-axis contoured parts are also accommodated with our wide range of capabilities and experience. Our pallet changer equipped machining center increases machining efficiency and reduces costs.
Let us review your parts and provide you with a cost competitive quote. As with everything we do, your requirements will be reviewed, planned step-by-step and documented within our E-2 Shoptech Shop Floor Control System.
In order to ensure that your product meets your desired specifications, all of our turned parts are subjected to a comprehensive quality assurance program. In addition, all of the secondary operations performed on our turned parts are precisely performed to meet your required tolerances.
Our Charmilles 310 wire EDM allows us to work with exceptionally tall parts, as well as those with extreme tapers. Custom machine modifications allow us to cut parts up to 108" long. Precision thin parts can be stacked for cost effective production rates. Where many shops do not like to EDM aluminum, we have a special filtration system that catches the large volume of particulates that would clog standard EDM filtration systems.
At Definitive Design we are accustomed to designing highly specialized parts. Our experienced team is adept at modifying our equipment to handle almost any project. Where as other companies adhere to exclusively manufacturing standard products, Definitive Design takes pride in routinely tackling the more ...
Consider AWJ for profiling parts from almost almost any material, from metals to plastics, laminates, tile, glass, rubber or any other requirement. With no heat affected zone as with laser, plasma, or torch, parts can be cut as close as +/- .005" with a finished perimeter. For stripper plates and similar parts, AWJ can be 5-10 times as fast as wire EDM. With virtually no setup or tooling, parts can be produced with very short lead times. Your CAD drawing can be converted to a machine program in minutes, at very low cost. Many parts that are thought of as "machined" parts can be profiled using AWJ to save material, and get a head start on additional machining operations.
