Manufacturing Expertise from Concept to Production
TKMS partners with customers early in the product development lifecycle to help transform designs into manufacturable, cost-effective components. Our team’s engineering background ensures complex parts are not only possible — but optimized for production from the start.
This is where we excel: reducing ambiguity, preventing rework, and solving production challenges before they happen.
Design for Manufacturability (DFM)
We collaborate directly with your engineers to refine part geometry, tolerances, and material specifications to ensure components are suited for advanced CNC machining. Our experience helps eliminate overly complex or costly features without compromising performance.
Why DFM Matters
Avoid downstream design revisions
Minimize machining time and cost
Improve part reliability and consistency
Ensure tolerance feasibility with production realities
What We Offer
Deep understanding of part function and system interaction
Risk mitigation for OEMs with safety-critical needs
High equipment uptime through automation and expertise
Clear, technical communication with engineering teams
Typical Mill-Turn Applications
Ideal for Complex Cylindrical Components
We specialize in parts that require both turning and secondary milling — such as those used in hydraulic systems, turbo machinery, and life-saving safety equipment.These applications demand not only dimensional precision but also reliability and consistency over long service lifecycles.
Shafts and valve bodies with milled ports or flanges
Manifolds with radial and axial features
Rotational components with off-center details
Safety-critical parts requiring high traceability
First Article & Process Development
Whether it's a prototype or a new production run, we support all aspects of part validation. From fixture design to custom tooling paths, our team develops repeatable processes that maintain part integrity from first article through full-scale production.
Machining strategy & toolpath optimization
Fixture and setup planning
First article inspections and documentation
Continuous inspections and documentation
