Computer Numerically Controlled Machining (CNC)
Our 3-axis CNC machine uses CAD models to create accurate parts out of sheet material up to 2440mm x 1220mm. If larger models are required we can join pieces to create large 3D forms.
This technology has been used at Griffiths Precision Moulds for everything from sign making, to model making, to machining tooling for batch-production moulds. It also enables GPM to recreate parts accurately for all levels of demand up to low-volume mass production.
Ready to start machining?
You can send us your CAD files (.dxf, .stl, .prt, etc.) directly by email. We can then start the process of machining your design. We accept both:
2D profile cut outs of sheet material.
3D Master Patterns and models.
Note: Can be ready the very next day for collection or delivery. This service is dependent on machine times and how busy the machine is.
