Made in USA. Built to print. Ready for the field.

Make-to-print (build-to-print)

Send the drawing, TDP or NSN and we manufacture to your specification and revision, with first-article inspection and certs of conformance on request. We are JCP certified, so we can receive export-controlled drawings and technical data packages.

Reverse engineering

No drawing? We reverse engineer from a sample part: dimensional inspection (inches or mm), material identification, and a new drawing package, so obsolete and sole-source parts can be built again.

Lifecycle extension (DMSMS / obsolescence)

Keep fielded equipment running when the original maker is gone: we combine reverse engineering, re-manufacture and substitutes to support legacy platforms.

Powertrain remanufacturing

Engine and transmission remanufacturing for tracked and wheeled military vehicles, proven on the dynamometer before shipment.

• Engines: Detroit Diesel 6V53, 6V53T, 6V53TA, 8V71T, 8V92T, 8V92TA; Cummins 6CTA; Continental AVDS-1790-2D, AVDS-1790-2DA, AVDS-1790-2C, AVDS-1790-2CA, AVDS-1790-2DR, AVDS-1790-8CR.
• Transmissions: XTG411-2, XTG411-4, TX100-1, TX100-1A, X200-4, Allison 3500 series.
• Program experience: the Thai M109/M992 fleet rebuild program.

Machining: CNC and EDM

• CNC milling: 3-axis, 3+2, 4-axis and 5-axis.
• Mill-turn, and CNC turning with dual spindles.
• Large parts: access to vertical machining centers with up to about 150 x 32 x 30 inches of travel.
• Wire and sinker EDM for hard materials and fine features.

Casting and forging

Cast aluminum, cast iron and cast steel parts, and forged carbon and alloy steels.

• 3D printed sand molds and cores: no pattern tooling, so obsolete castings can be made from a scan or a CAD model, fast, even in low quantities.
• Investment (lost wax) casting: near-net shapes with fine detail and smooth finishes, using 3D printed wax or resin patterns when there is no original tooling.
• Sand casting: green sand and no-bake (chemically bonded) sand.
• Permanent mold casting and centrifugal casting.
• Forging: open-die and closed-die (impression) forging.
• Finishing: heat treatment, machining and NDT (non-destructive testing) of castings and forgings.

Additive manufacturing (3D printing)

Metal printing by DMLS (direct metal laser sintering) and binder jetting in aluminum, stainless steel and exotic alloys such as Inconel and titanium. Polymer printing in resin, fiber-reinforced materials and flexible silicone, for prototypes, tooling and end-use parts.

Track shoes and QPL rubber

Track shoes for tracked vehicles, with rubber qualified to MIL-DTL-11891G and listed on QPL-11891.

Seals and fasteners

Gaskets, O-rings and bolts made to military specifications.

Mil-spec plating and finishing

Plating and finishing to the common military and aerospace specifications:

• Zinc plating: ASTM B633 (replaces QQ-Z-325), with clear, yellow or black chromate.
• Cadmium plating: SAE AMS-QQ-P-416 (formerly QQ-P-416), Types I, II and III, Classes 1 to 3.
• Anodizing: MIL-PRF-8625 (formerly MIL-A-8625), Type II sulfuric and Type III hardcoat, dyed or clear.
• Phosphate coating: MIL-DTL-16232, Type M (manganese) and Type Z (zinc).
• Zinc-nickel plating: AMS 2417.
• Chromate conversion coating: MIL-DTL-5541, Class 1A and Class 3.

Mil-spec packaging

Military packaging to MIL-STD-2073-1 and military marking and labeling to MIL-STD-129, to the contract's requirements, so parts arrive ready for the supply system.

Electronic and electrical assemblies, cable assemblies

Electronic assemblies, electrical assemblies and cable/wire harness assemblies built to drawing and mil-spec.
