Client Type: Tier-1 Automotive Supplier & Component Manufacturer
Location: India (Serving Global Clients)
Overview
Shalimar Precision approached us with a clear goal: achieve high-volume production of precision-machined components without compromising tight tolerances or lead times. Known for their work in aerospace and automotive, they needed a CNC machining partner who could match their rigorous demands for quality, repeatability, and scalability.
The Challenge
Shalimar Precision was experiencing limitations with their in-house machining setup when scaling the production of intricate aluminum and steel parts. Their previous supplier struggled with dimensional deviations, high scrap rates, and slower cycle times.
They were looking for:
Precision tolerances up to ±0.002 mm
-
Faster turnaround on complex parts
-
Improved surface finish without excessive post-processing
-
A vendor that could scale to 100,000+ units/month with zero quality compromise
Our Approach
To meet Shalimar's performance benchmarks, we developed a comprehensive solution:
Multi-Axis CNC Machining
Leveraged advanced 5-axis and 3-axis CNC machines for complex geometries and precision cuts.
Real-Time Quality
Control
Implemented in-process inspections to reduce rework and maintain ±0.002 mm tolerances.
Toolpath
Optimization
Customized CAM strategies to reduce material waste and cut cycle time by 23%.
Material
Expertise
Used aerospace-grade aluminum and heat-treated steel with optimal chip removal techniques.
Results
99.98% Dimensional Accuracy
Outperformed previous vendors with near-zero rejection rates on mass production runs.
30% Faster Production Time
Tooling optimization and scheduling automation reduced lead times significantly.
45% Scrap Reduction
Improved machining consistency and real-time inspection led to higher yields.
Long-Term Collaboration
Shalimar Precision extended its contract to include prototyping, R&D samples, and international shipment-ready packaging.
