One-stop contract manufacturing
Manufacturing on Demand for the AI Hardware Industry
We machine liquid-cooling cold plates, copper fin heatsinks, GPU brackets and rack rails for AI server builders. ISO 9001:2015 certified, and every RFQ is answered within 24 hours.
Build AI Hardware Without Waiting on Tooling
Three things you get on every job, whether it is one part or a hundred.
One supplier, every process
CNC machining, vacuum casting, injection moulding, sheet metal and 3D printing in one factory. A project never gets handed between suppliers halfway through.

Measured, not assumed
±0.01 mm on machined metal. A dimensional report ships with every batch and material certificates are available on request.
From Thermal Prototype to Rack Production
AI accelerator racks now dissipate 60 to 120 kW per cabinet, and most of that heat leaves through a machined copper cold plate. We cut those plates from C11000 copper and 6061 aluminium, hold flatness inside 0.02 mm across the die contact face, and place ports within ±0.01 mm so manifolds and quick-disconnects line up. Early builds run as three to five CNC prototypes inside a week. When the thermal design freezes, the same drawing moves to milled fin heatsinks, TIG-welded manifolds and laser-cut enclosure panels, or to hard tooling for injection-moulded fan shrouds and cable guides. Material, tolerance and surface finish stay identical from the first unit to the thousandth.

AI Hardware Manufacturing Capabilities
CNC Machining for Cold Plates and Manifolds
Three, four and five-axis milling and turning in C11000 copper and 6061-T6 aluminium, to ±0.01 mm. We cut cold plate baseplates, serpentine and pin-fin channels, manifold blocks and GPU brackets. Sealing faces are finished flat inside 0.02 mm so gaskets and O-rings seat without a shim. Prototypes ship in 2 to 7 days, low-volume batches in 7 to 15.
Vacuum Casting for Shroud and Bezel Trials
Silicone tooling taken off a machined or SLA master, then 10 to 50 polyurethane copies in 5 to 7 days. We use it for airflow shrouds, fan ducts, front bezels and cable guides while the enclosure layout is still moving, and for rubber-like duct gaskets in 40 to 80 Shore A. Parts can be cast in a flame-retardant grade or painted to a colour match.
Injection Moulding for Shrouds and Fan Housings
Aluminium and steel tools are cut in-house, with first shots 15 to 30 days from sign-off. We mould air shrouds, fan housings, cable arms, drive carriers and front bezels in PC/ABS, PA66 with 30% glass and flame-retardant polycarbonate. Aluminium tooling covers the first few thousand racks; hardened steel is worth cutting once the enclosure is frozen and the part runs past 100,000 shots.
Sheet Metal for Rack Rails and Panels
Laser cutting, CNC bending and TIG welding in 0.5 to 6 mm aluminium, cold-rolled and stainless steel. We build 19-inch rack rails, chassis frames, EMI shield cans, vented server enclosure panels and airflow baffles. Hole patterns hold ±0.1 mm so blind-mate connectors and cage nuts line up across a full 42U column. Panels are powder-coated, zinc-plated or anodised, with threaded inserts fitted before finishing.
ISO 9001:2015 certified, with in-house CMM and dial-indicator inspection. Every batch ships with a dimensional report, and material certificates are traceable to the batch or heat number on request.

CNC machining
Cold plate bodies and lids are milled from C11000 copper for conductivity, or 6061-T6 where mass matters. Channel walls down to 0.8 mm, flatness inside 0.02 mm on the die contact face, ±0.01 mm on port positions. O-ring grooves are cut in the same setup, then parts go for anodising or nickel plating.
Vacuum casting
Ten to fifty airflow shrouds, fan ducts or front bezels in 5 to 7 days from a silicone tool, cast in polyurethane that mimics ABS, PC, or a 60 Shore A rubber for duct seals. Walls run 1.5 to 3 mm, and one silicone tool gives about 20 pulls before it degrades.
Injection moulding
Once a rack design freezes, the moulded parts are air shrouds, fan housings, cable arms and drive carriers. Tools are cut in-house in aluminium or hardened steel, first shots 15 to 30 days. Materials we run here: PC/ABS, PA66 with 30% glass, and flame-retardant polycarbonate for parts in the airflow path.
Sheet metal
Rack rails, chassis frames, vented panels and EMI shield cans in 0.5 to 6 mm 5052 and 6061 aluminium, SPCC and 304 stainless. Laser cut, CNC bent, TIG welded where a frame has to stay square under a loaded 42U rack. Stainless is passivated, steel and aluminium powder coated.
3D printing
SLA for shroud and bezel fit checks against a populated board, SLS nylon for cable guides and clip-on brackets that must survive handling, metal printing for manifold blocks with internal channels that cannot be milled. Typical turnaround is 2 to 4 days, and SLA masters feed straight into vacuum casting.
