Our Services

CAD/CAM

Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) are the twin pillars of modern precision engineering. At Contour Precision, we utilise these technologies to transform complex designs into reality. CAD allows our engineers to create detailed 3D models and blueprints, while CAM translates these designs into precise instructions for the machinery.

Wire Erosion

Wire Erosion, or Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM), is a cutting-edge technique that Contour Precision uses to shape hard materials with extraordinary accuracy. This process involves a thin wire used as an electrode that cuts through material with a controlled electrical discharge. It's ideal for creating intricate components with complex shapes and fine details.

Spark Erosion

Spark Erosion, also known as Spark EDM, is another form of electrical discharge machining that Contour Precision excels in. Unlike wire erosion, spark erosion uses an electrode to create a series of intense, rapid electrical discharges to remove material. This method is exceptionally effective for machining complex geometries in hard materials like titanium or steel.
