CNC Milling
New CNC equipment and upgrades are continually being added to Astro Manufacturing & Design expanding CNC Milling department. We have over 22 machining centers, that can produce parts with dimensions as large as 30′′ x 84′′ x 20′′ high.

To produce high volume, precision parts with a single set-up, most of our high tech machining centers are equipped with a fourth axis turntable. This creative fixturing is also used with air actuated clamping systems to speed part load and unload and reduce the number of set-ups on many production jobs.
CNC Turning
Astro Manufacturing Development offers fast and accurate CNC turning services. Our growing CNC turning department consists of many state-of-the-art CNC lathes, and our experienced machinists have the knowledge and training to program even the most complex turning operations. The Result: accurate, precision parts.

Most of our lathes are equipped with live tooling. This convenient feature enables us to perform both milling and tapping operations on CNC lathes. For you, it means reduced costs and rapid production turnaround.

Our in-house CNC lathes can turn parts up to 14′′ in diameter. So, regardless of the size and complexity of your project, it′s a good bet that Astro Model Development has the in-house talent and technology to cost-effectively fulfill your CNC turning needs.
General Prototyping
Astro Manufacturing & Design has the in-house talent and technology to offer a broad range of prototyping services. We can take your concept or idea and help you quickly and cost-effectively turn it into a durable, precision prototype.

We′ll maintain complete control throughout the course of your project. Astro′s experienced engineers will work with you to develop an optimum design. Then, our highly skilled machinists will quickly manufacture your prototype to meet your exact specifications. Finally, our in-house assemblers will assemble your prototype in a timely manner.
Stereolithography (SLA)
Astro Manufacturing & Design delivers fast, accurate prototypes and models using advanced stereolithography technology. This rapid prototyping process creates a physical object from a 3-D CAD file by using a computer-controlled laser to cure photosensitive resin, layer by layer, creating a finished part literally in hours.
Not only is SLA a fast method for developing prototypes, it′s highly accurate as well - boasting tolerances within 0.005′′. You can rest assured that your finished prototype will be crisp, accurate and highly detailed.

Rapid prototyping with SLA is ideal for concept models and master patterns for molding techniques. It is also a great way to test your product design before going into high volume production - where design flaws can be extremely costly. With SLA , Astro can debug any design flaws prior to investing in tooling, molds, materials and production start-up.
Astro will work closely with you throughout your project. Our experienced rapid prototyping personnel can analyze your product for form, fit and function. Then, they can make suggestions that will help select the appropriate rapid prototyping technology and material to optimize your product′s marketability and manufacturability.
