04 — CAPABILITIES

Full manufacturing capability, owned end to end.

From a drawing to an inspected, documented part — engineering, production and metrology under one accountable roof.

Manufacturing engineering — our core

This is where a part is won or lost. Our engineers take your drawing and own its realisation: manufacturing process planning, identification of key product characteristics, PFMEA, fixture and tooling design to relevant standards, optimised CAM programming, and first-article planning.

It's the depth an independent shop rarely has — and the reason our parts conform first time.

MACHINING

Precision CNC machining

3-, 4- and 5-axis milling and turning across our production network, for complex, tight-tolerance components.

TOL ±5 µm
FABRICATION

Precision assemblies & build-to-print support

Build-to-print assemblies, tooling structures and coordinated manufacturing support to customer drawings and specifications through Macreq’s qualified production network.

SOURCED

Castings & forgings

Sourced, machined and finished to specification through qualified foundry and forging partners — with the same process ownership and inspection discipline as our machined work.

TOOLING

Press tools, fixtures & gauges

Design and manufacture of press tools, jigs, fixtures and inspection gauges — supporting our own production and standalone tooling programmes, including MRO tooling.

METROLOGY

Inspection & metrology

In-house CMM inspection, in-process quality control and full dimensional reporting. Every part inspected and documented before release.

IN-HOUSE CMM
DIGITAL

Traceability & visibility

Real-time production visibility and complete digital records — inspection data, material certificates and traceability — for every part and every programme.
