Our Engineering staff stays abreast of an ever-changing technical environment and is ISO certified. We use Pro/Engineer as our Native software. We can also work with native SolidWorks and Auto-CAD files to interface with our Customers design needs. We take full advantage of the power and accuracy of parametric modeling, using our years of sheetmetal experience for Design for Manufacturability (DFM).

Customer supplied CAD models containing basic part information can be imported into Pro/Engineer where we create shop ready drawings eliminating the need for customer supplied fully dimensioned drawings. We use Metalsoft 3D unfolder to develop the 2D flat layout, which is then checked by our Design Verification process. Once the D/V process is completed, the part will be coded for the CNC turret, LASER, combination machine or waterjet. We use Metalsoft Fabriwin software to code for all the machines except the waterjet. It is programmed using Flowpath & Flowcut software.

Workstations
The company possesses over 225 workstations dedicated to Engineering, Administrative, Data Collection, coding and MIS support. All of these workstations are connected via a state of the art Ethernet network connecting to a backbone 100 BT which attaches our File, Database and Application servers.
Full system backups are done daily.

Prototype Model

Prototype Models

Almost a shop within a shop - some of MASS’ most experienced and skilled craftsmen perform near miracles in quick turn-around of vitally needed, precision made prototypes. The demands of accelerated product development lend increased urgency in the making of pre-production models. CAD data being used for a prototype is often concurrently adapted to the design of soft tooled pre-production runs, while being analyzed for high production hard tooling - all progressing within the same time frame.

Prototype capabilities include stamping, embossing, drawing, laser cutting, bending, Silkscreening, Painting, Contouring and Post Plating.

HOW TO SEND YOUR DATA

There are several ways to electronically send your data to MASS Precision. Below is a list of the different ways to transfer your files.

CD-ROM / DVD

FTP - Use our FTP site ftp.massprecision.com

Web - MASS Engineers may retrieve files from your web site.

Email - Customers may e-mail files directly to our engineers.
