BMD Engineering provides turning, nilling, gridning and drilling precision machining services to a wide range of industries throughout the UK.

Precision Machining Services is a process that is used to produce a large number of both large as well as small objects that we make use of in our daily lives. Each intricate and detailed piece that makes up an object needs the touch of a machinist's skills. Similarly, a machine or tool that is worn down will require the action of machine tool calibration quite frequently. There are also other facilities provided by Precision Machining Services apart from calibration. These would be detailed welding or grooving carried out by a precision machinist. Ranging from aircraft aluminum alloy production right till devices for surgically drilling of bones Precision Machining Services caters to almost every industry and technology. Put simply, if an object is made of parts, it would have needed Precision Machining Services.

While the majority of Precision Machining Services companies usually work with one form of CAD/CAM programs or another, they still do often work with sketches that are hand drawn. Although the hand sketches are usually made use of only in the initial phases of a design. Precision Machining Services can be used on a variety of materials that include graphite, bronze, steel, plastics and glass to name just a few. Based on the project size and the materials that are to be used, different kinds of precision machining tools are put to use. Precision machining is indispensable to numerous industries and various kinds of technologies. Without precision machining we would be unable to manufacture a number of detailed and intricate parts of various objects. The detail and accuracy it brings into the manufacturing procedure is what renders precision machining as so indispensable. There is a long list of machining companies that specialize in precision machining and you can use the Internet to locate them and avail their services. Precision machining is an integral part of mechanical and manufacturing industries.

Precision machining involves producing of metal parts, which are extremely intricate and are mainly made from thin metal sheets. Besides precision metal parts are often custom made for specific purposes. However there are distinct techniques such as chemical etching, metal stamping, and RF shielding for producing precision metal parts.

The chemical etching process is mainly used for producing precision metal parts. The machining system offers great flexibility for producing precision metal parts, with unusual configuration as well as metals with tight tolerance within .0005". Besides the chemical etching machines are capable of producing, small holes and bars that are not possible with most stamping process. The chemical etching machine uses state-of-the-art-CAD software enabled with ? mil resolution in the production process, which facilitates speedy and low cost operations. The machining system is ideal for both the prototype, and production of large quantities of precision metal parts. Chemically etching machined products also play a significant role in supporting the NASA research system.

Similarly the metal stamping machining process, which is also referred to as progressive die stamping, or long run metal stamping, is extensively used in production of precision metal parts with thickness from .002" to .135". The technique is mainly used for processing low cost parts that have three dimensions.
