CNC milling
Vertical machining sized for small prismatic aluminum parts, with in-machine probing.
The factory · Frederick, MD
One cell. Fully instrumented. Built to replicate.
Our first CNC cell comes online in Frederick, Maryland, in early 2027.
The cell
Small footprint. Serious process.
A compact CNC machining cell sized for small aluminum parts, with the inspection and data systems built in from day one rather than bolted on later.
MACHINE
MEASURE
Inspection station
Granite-plate inspection with calibrated gauges, results recorded digitally per lot.
DATA
Connected shop floor
Machine monitoring and digital travelers on a segmented, security-first network.
Why Frederick
On the I-270 corridor, close to the nation's capital.
Frederick sits between Washington, Baltimore, and the Pennsylvania line, close to defense buyers and the region's technical workforce.
