Six disciplines, one integrated workshop.
From CAD design to composite layup and final QA — every step of the manufacturing process happens in-house. That keeps communication tight, lead times short, and quality consistent across marine, aviation, automotive, and industrial clients.
5-Axis CNC Machining
Large Gantry CNC
Our 5-axis gantry handles formats up to 6 × 2.5 × 1.5 m in a single setup — ideal for marine tooling, architectural scale models, and large automotive masters.
Read more3D CNC Machining
Multi-axis 3D profile cutting for complex mold surfaces and prototype geometries. We work in tooling board, hardwoods, aluminium, and modelling foam.
Read moreSub-millimeter Tolerances
Calibrated tooling and in-process measurement with calibrated touch probes. Standard ±0.1 mm on steel, ±0.2 mm on tooling board and composites.
Read more5-Axis CNC Machining — in detail
Our flagship service. The 5-axis gantry at our Kaštel Novi workshop is the largest of its class in the region — capable of single-setup machining across formats that would normally require repositioning or multiple CNC passes. That means faster turnaround, fewer seams, and tighter tolerance on complex free-form surfaces.

Vacuum Infusion
Closed-Mold Infusion
Consistent fiber volume, low void content, repeatable serial production for marine and aviation parts. Cycle time depends on part size and laminate thickness.
Read moreRobotic Layup
Two robotic arms handling ply placement for serial production runs — reduces cycle time by up to 60 % versus hand layup and improves ply-position repeatability.
Read moreHand Layup & Repair
For complex one-offs and legacy component repair — our composite technicians handle the work the robots can't, including structural repairs and legacy parts.
Read moreVacuum Infusion & Composite Layup — in detail
Vacuum infusion is our primary process for serial-production composite parts. We start with a closed mold (typically machined on our 5-axis CNC), place dry fabric reinforcement, seal under vacuum bag, and pull resin through the laminate under atmospheric pressure. The result: consistent fiber volume, low void content, and excellent mechanical properties.

CAD / CAM
CAD Modeling
Solid and surface modeling in Fusion 360, Rhinoceros, and Mastercam — export-ready for any CNC. We work from your sketches, PDFs, or native CAD files.

Multi-axis toolpath generation, simulation, and verification before a single chip is cut. We optimise for cycle time, surface quality, and tool life.
Read moreDFM Review
Design-for-manufacturing feedback on your geometry — before tooling investment. Saves weeks of rework and protects the timeline on tight programs.
Read moreCAD / CAM Engineering — in detail
Every part we manufacture starts in CAD. Our engineering team models your design intent, validates it for manufacturability, and programs the toolpaths that drive our CNC. This is where most program risk lives — get it right here, and the rest of the project runs smoothly.
