CNC machining tips and trends

Bringing the work back to the USA is now more important than ever. While having domestic suppliers is already a key strategy for many companies, all manufacturers should periodically reevaluate their offshoring practices and consider reshoring products to America.

Protomatic offers CNC machine shop services and custom parts for Aerospace, Medical, and many other industries. We have the equipment and experience to take any idea you have and bring it to life.

The cybersecurity risk does not have a ROI (Return on Investment) in a typical sense, but is more like a ROR (Return on Risk). It includes things like safety, licensing, insurance and other every critical task that businesses must perform to be successful.

Prototyping is a great way to ensure parts are always made exactly as needed in aerospace manufacturing.

Protomatic was recently honored by a visit from some very special guests. 25 kindergarteners and first graders from the Dexter Summer Youth Program came to Protomatic to learn more about manufacturing.

Every year, we receive hundreds of blueprints to review as part of our quoting process. While the reviews are time-intensive, they are not only important, but essential to assuring that even the smallest details are carefully examined in a way that results in accurate quotes and precision …

If you have been wondering what Protomatic means when we say we are a medical device contract manufacturing company, you can find your answers here.

Every year at Protomatic, we see and review thousands of blueprints during our quoting process. Our goal for each is the same: To review even the smallest detail of the blueprint in a manner that allows us to accurately quote and manufacture the part.

Today’s world of metrology is diverse and sophisticated. In many manufacturing processes, there is and probably always will be, a place for tactile gages. Among those physical instruments are: calipers, bore, ring, plug, thread, radius, height gages, micrometers, and coordinate measurement machines.

Protomatic is a machine shop that believes in providing our customers with the custom parts they need, no matter the sizing. Technically small parts are hard to make. As you get smaller, challenges arise.

Two recent SME events prove that the future looks bright, indeed, for manufacturing and engineering.

The death of trade shows is greatly exaggerated.

Protomatic recently headed to California and hosted a booth at the MD&M West Show at the Anaheim Convention Center. The MD&M show is all about Medical Device and Manufacturing.
