Automation and lean manufacturing don’t have to be opposing forces—when combined through palletisation, they unlock new levels of CNC machining efficiency, minimising downtime and driving precision without compromise.

Components for ocean technology applications need to meet two major criteria. How can you ensure your design will meet these criteria? Read more in this blog.

What’s the difference between Acetal and Delrin? A question we often get asked here at Penta Precision. In this blog we're explain the operational differences, how to choose between them and see our handy side by side comparison table.

With options like 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis milling, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the technical jargon. In this blog, our Milling Team Leader David demystifies these terms, and reveals the advantanges and disadvantages of each.

Fluid control components must meet stringent requirements to ensure the final product operates consistently and effectively. This blog covers the machining requirements for these specialist parts and what it takes to achieve them.

With so many misconceptions about CNC machining floating around, we thought we'd set the record straight. 

Satellites, and all components that are destined for space travel, experience a unique set of conditions that necessitate careful design and manufacture.

Aesthetics vs functionality…the ongoing conflict in the minds of product designers and engineers. In this blog we consider both Aethetic and Functional component design, how you can balance the two and consider some common trade-offs.

As consumers, we've been conditioned to expect free delivery as standard (thanks Amazon!) and as a result, we often find it hard to accept delivery charges from smaller companies. But do you really want a poorly-paid courier to throw your machined parts on your doorstep? Probably not. So what do you get for your delivery charge?
