Custom machining services

Manual Machining

Facteon's five axis manual mills are a rarity in New Zealand. Due to the variable set up options, our tradespeople typically utilise such machines for one-off, multi-featured components. To produce components of smaller scale, we utilise knee type manual mills and manual lathes. Select tradespeople are trained to operate each of these dynamic machines to ensure a quality deliverable.

CNC Machining

Facteon's use of SolidCAM programming provides precision in the manufacture of one-off components and small batch work. As custom component specialists, Facteon invests in maintaining both our small and large-scale CNC machines to ensure that product quality isn't compromised. Our CNC machines are suited to rapid production of a range of smaller components.

Large Format Machining

Offering a machining window of 2.5 metres by 5 metres or more, the Machine Shop hosts some of the largest manual mills in New Zealand. Such powerful machinery requires a skilled operator. Every Facteon tradesperson is fully qualified to ensure only quality components exit our facility.
