Durham Precision Engineering Facilities

From the Company’s establishment in 1985 Durham Precision Engineering has built up an enviable reputation in the field of toolmaking and precision engineering.

The current “core” activity areas for the Company are:

Special tooling design and manufacture
Batch machining of components
Design, manufacture and build of special purpose machines and equipment
Manufacture of consumable items of tooling and spare parts
Precision machining of models, prototypes

To facilitate these activities we operate from a 13,000 square feet purpose built factory equipped with modern up to date machinery. This enables us to carry out all client critical operations in house - under our own control.

This equipment ranges from standard machinery through to state of the art wire erosion equipment, and is complemented with both CNC milling and turning machines. A wide range of inspection equipment including a Co-ordinate Measuring Machine is located in a dedicated Inspection Department

In House Design

Our in house design service was introduced in 1989 and Durham Precision Engineering employs full time design engineers. All design work is carried out using up to date CAD.and 3D modelling equipment with modem and e-mail links facilitating data transfer with both clients and suppliers. CAM systems are also available to assist with the “off line” programming of CNC and wire erosion machinery.

Computerised Manufacturing Control System

Our computerised manufacturing control system allows us to track clients projects from the enquiry stage all the way through to delivery and invoicing. With this central store of information it means our staff can easily deal with clients requests and give feedback on how their projects are progressing while maintaining data for future reference.
