Capabilities

For Challenging CNC Machining Projects that Need Expert Capabilities

Our modern CNC machines and 30+ years of machining experience can handle small radius cuts and tight tolerances while maintaining the highest quality level, whether you need one prototype or one hundred.

Nexus produces some of the most complex, tight tolerance, uniquely designed machined and assembled components that average shops steer clear of. We welcome exotic alloy and tight tolerance projects and love to rise to take on challenges others won’t even quote on.

We live up to our ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 certifications with every project, and take pride in delivering accurate parts finished to the highest standard.

Machining Tolerances

While typical customer designs require tolerances of +/- .005”, it’s not uncommon for the Nexus team to see down to +/- .0002” for key characteristics and dimensions.

  • Our capabilities include holding milled positional tolerances to +/- .0002” and less for some specialty projects on both position tolerances and Datum related features.

  • On a wide range of materials, we routinely hold turned tolerances to +/- .0002”, and less for some specialty projects.

Reworked Prototypes

Manufacturing is complicated, and not every vendor can get your part or project right the first time. If you have pieces from another vendor that don’t meet your standards, we’re happy to put our expertise to the test and rework these pieces, so you can have a usable, high-performing part.

Sometimes you need to modify a part to add sensors, inspection ports, or other similar features for testing. We’re happy to work on these as well
