What is the Value of In-House CNC Machining?
The success of any project hinges on how well—and how efficiently—the job is done. That’s why OEMs who work with a full-service investment casting supplier have a significant advantage. Investment casting suppliers with a full range of capabilities, including in-house CNC machining, ensure that an OEM’s parts are made to meet exact specifications while avoiding costly productivity slowdowns and other unwelcome surprises that can happen when a provider outsources parts of the process.
Never should you need to compromise quality for efficiency—or vice versa. Let’s take a look at how having an investment casting services provider with in-house CNC machining capabilities can save time, save money, and provide exceptional results.
Advantages of Working With an Investment Casting Supplier That Provides In-House CNC Machining Services
Reduces Lead Times
Naturally, projects are completed more quickly and cost-effectively when there’s no need to shuffle parts to a different vendor or location to accomplish the finishing touches necessary for meeting your specifications. When an investment casting supplier has CNC machining capabilities in their shop, you can enjoy reduced lead times that ensure you meet your deadlines and keep costs in check.
At Lamothermic, we hone parts into their final geometries and perform the finishing processes to perfect them. From contouring to hole punching, threading, and more…our machine shop is equipped to handle it all. We have invested in advanced CNC equipment that enables us to produce parts that meet your exact requirements with the utmost production efficiency.
Streamlines Supply Chain
When CNC machining and other processes can be accomplished under one roof by one company, there’s no finger-pointing or undue confusion if any issues arise at any stage of a project. One supplier means the supply chain management buck stops with them and only them, so you can feel confident your job will flow smoothly from start to finish.
With Lamothermic, you get a single-source solution and a single point of contact. Our experienced, excellence-focused team manages every aspect of your project, from the procurement of raw materials through all phases of production, assembly, and delivery—no passing the buck ever! You’ll enjoy a hassle-free experience and the peace of mind that comes from knowing you have a reliable partner to guide your project through successfully, with no unexpected setbacks along the way.
Guarantees Quality
It doesn’t matter how quickly parts can be made if the end result doesn’t meet your specifications. When a project demands precision, there’s no room for error. Working with a CNC machining-capable investment casting services provider enables end-to-end quality control management, guaranteeing that parts are not only made efficiently but also with the exactness required for an exceptional outcome.
Handling all production phases—including CNC machining—in-house, Lamothermic adheres to strict quality control measures throughout the entire project. Through careful analysis and inspection of WIP, robust process controls, and rigorous testing, we ensure that your parts consistently achieve the tightest tolerances and highest standards across the entire production run, whether we’re making 10 or 100,000 parts.
