Equipment

The floor.

Two combined shops in Richmond, BC: precision machining on one side, steel fabrication and welding on the other, with laser and routing in between, and a 6 kW fiber tube laser arriving.

Machine by machine

What each one does for you.

Owning both machining and fabrication means faster iterations, tighter tolerances and no waiting on outside vendors. Here is what runs on the floor and what to send to each.
