CAPABILITIES & EXPERTISE
Photochemical Etching
Photochemical etching (also known as photochemical machining and chemical blanking) is an ideal manufacturing process for thin metal parts with complex or intricate geometries and tight tolerances. The benefits of photochemical etching include fast turnaround time, detailed parts, minimal material imperfections, and reduced tooling costs.
Our Capability Experts
Metal Fabrication
Metal fabrication is the precise manipulation of raw materials (often sheet metal) into strong, durable, and accurate parts, components, and assemblies. Specific metal fabrication capabilities include cutting, punching, forming, welding, grinding, and finishing utilizing CNC programming, specialized tools, and careful quality assurance.
Our Capability Experts
Injection Molding
A process that starts with the high-pressure injection of molten plastic into precisely engineered molds and finishes with meticulous attention to accuracy and dependability. Our production centers produce plastic parts for technology, automotive, renewable energy, medical, and industrial customers that meet the strictest quality and performance standards.
Our Capability Experts
Silicon & Germanium Growth
A crew of scientists, engineers, and technicians custom-grow silicon and germanium crystals to demanding specifications at our production center in Bozeman, Montana. We have the expertise to grow materials in hard-to-find sizes, orientations, electrical resistivity, and special optical transmissions. These Czochralski (Cz) crystals are used in defense, technology, industrial and semiconductor industries.
Our Capability Experts
Electroforming
Electroforming is a complex manufacturing process requiring precision, expertise, and experience. An electrical current deposits a thin metal layer onto a conductive surface. Electroforming enables the production of intricate parts used by aerospace, medical, defense, and electronics companies.
Our Capability Experts
Forming
Punching, shaping, bending, and angling metal materials to produce precision metal parts, components, and assemblies is what the manufacturing experts in our production centers do. Our production centers rely on CNC technology, libraries of specialized tools, and decades of experience.
Our Capability Experts
Brazed Assemblies
Brazed assembly services combine high hermiticity and repeatability with minimal oxidation and part-to-part variation for maximum part success. Our production centers work with clean, low-vapor alloys to deliver both high-volume and prototype manufacturing, providing our clients with greater quality control and project efficiency from start to finish.
Our Capability Experts
Ceramic Metallization
Ceramic metallization is a process in which a metal layer is deposited onto the substrate ceramic surface to provide a wettable surface for subsequent brazing. A strong, robust bond, minimal substrate deformation, universal applicability for ceramic metal joining, and uniform coating, thickness, and density are the benefits of ceramic metalization.
Our Capability Experts
CNC Machining
CNC-powered multi-axis machining mills produce strong and durable metal parts to the tightest tolerances at high volumes. Technical experts program, inspect and maintain the computerized numerical control (CNC) process to ensure the accuracy of the tooling and production cycles.
Our Capability Experts
Stamping
Stamping is one of the core capabilities of our production centers charged with delivering strong, durable, and precise metal parts for defense, aerospace, medical, and automotive customers. Combining CNC programming, specialized dies, and fabricators with decades of experience ensures part perfection.
Our Capability Experts
Plating
The Partner Companies’ production centers provide electro and electroless plating in compliance with ASTM, ASM, and MIL-SPEC standards, offering plated surfaces ready for brazing and soldering and protected from corrosion. Our plated components are found in critical applications in defense, medical, aerospace, and other markets.
