Precisionat scale.

We machine the parts that can't fail: turbine hardware, surgical implants, hydraulic blocks. Two plants, 68 machines, one standard.

● Who we are

A machine shop that measures before it promises.

Founded by two toolmakers in 1987, Corvane now runs 68 machines across two plants and ships to 140 customers in 19 countries. Every order still gets the same thing: a named engineer, a DFM review within a day, and a measured first article before production.

● Process

Drawing to first article in ten days.

  1. Day 1

    Drawing in, questions out

    A manufacturing engineer reviews your model and drawing within 24 hours and sends back every question at once, not one a week.

  2. Days 2–4

    CAM and fixturing

    Toolpaths are programmed and simulated against the real machine and fixture before a single chip is cut.

  3. Days 5–8

    First article

    The first part is measured on the CMM against every dimension on the drawing. You get the full AS9102 report.

  4. Day 10

    Production

    SPC on the critical features, material certs and full traceability in every box. Repeat orders run lights-out.
