UK-based precision manufacturing | Prototype to production
What We Do
Four Capabilities, One Controlled Process
From complex five-axis parts to large prismatic work, precision turning, wire erosion and coordinate measurement — all under one roof in Lichfield, cut to drawing and fully traced.
5-Axis Ø500 · Large-format 1.3 m
CNC Milling
Simultaneous 5-axis machining for complex, multi-face parts, plus large-format vertical milling for heavy prismatic work.
Ø366 × 705 mm · bar to Ø80
CNC Turning
Compact precision turning through to larger, longer chuck and bar work, held to tight, concentric tolerances.
Workpiece to 750 × 550 × 215
Wire EDM
Wire erosion for intricate profiles, narrow slots and fully hardened materials, with almost no cutting force.
CMM 1,000 × 1,500 × 700 mm
Inspection and CMM
CNC coordinate measuring from first-off to final inspection, with FAI reporting and full traceability.
How We Work
From Enquiry to Dispatch
Every component follows one controlled, digital route — planned before it is cut and proven before it ships.
- Engineering ReviewGeometry, tooling, workholding and inspection are planned before cutting.
- Machining & EDMTurning, milling, 5-axis and wire EDM, run on a digital route card.
- Inspection & CMMFirst-off, in-process and final inspection on our CNC CMM.
- Release & DispatchDocumented quality release and fully traceable dispatch.
Cut to Drawing. Measured. Traced.
Controlled production, complete traceability and documented release run through every job — so a precision component arrives right, and arrives proven.
Why AIM
Why Manufacturers Choose AIM
Engineering-Led
Every part is reviewed for manufacturability, strategy, workholding, tooling and inspection before production begins.
Digitally Controlled
One connected system links planning, machining, inspection and quality records — no re-keying, one live history.
Fully Traceable
Every component traces from material batch and drawing revision through to final release documentation.
Measured In-House
Inspection is planned around the drawing and verified on our CNC CMM, with FAI documentation on request.
Prototype to Production
One-off development parts through to repeat and scheduled batches, on the same controlled process.
Quality Built In
Quality is designed into the process from the first review — not left to a final check at the end.
Industries
