Capabilities
IDM provides integrated design, engineering, and machining support for low-volume, high-complexity parts.
Capabilities are structured to keep design intent, manufacturability, and execution aligned, reducing iteration, risk, and handoff friction.
CNC Machining
CNC machining is approached as an engineering problem first. Toolpaths, setups, and fixturing are planned with part function, tolerance, and downstream operations in mind rather than working in isolation.
- 3-axis and 4-axis milling
- Fixture-aware machining strategies
- Tight tolerance prismatic components
- Short run and prototype quantities
Design & Engineering Support
Design and engineering support bridges the gap between concept and manufacturable geometry. This includes evaluating existing designs, developing machining strategies, and working directly from physical parts when required.
- Design for Manufacturability (DFM)
- CAM strategy development
- Fixture and setup planning
- Reverse engineering from physical parts
- Iteration support during prototyping
Surface & Specialized Machining
Certain work benefits from higher-resolution, surface-aware machining approaches that are not well served by conventional setups alone. These capabilities support engraving, thin-stock processing, PCB work, and parts where surface variation or delicate geometry must be accounted for directly in the machining strategy using multi-point 3D mesh calculations or scans.
- High resolution surface engraving
- Surface-referenced machining and profiling
- Thin-stock and delicate part processing
- PCB isolation routing
- Digitization of complex geometries
Quality & Verification
Quality and verification are integrated throughout the workflow rather than treated as a final checkpoint. Designs, setups, and machined features are reviewed with intent, tolerance, and function in mind before and during machining.
- In-process verification
- Engineering review prior to machining
- Digital model validation
- Fit and function checks for mating parts
