Additional Manufacturing Capabilities
Secondary and finishing operations that take a machined part from production to ready, without adding outside suppliers, additional handoffs, or schedule risk.
Additional Capabilities
Full-Scope Support Within the Platform
Many programs require more than primary machining. Parts need processing, inspection, or finishing before they ship. Compass Precision facilities offer a range of secondary capabilities that keep work inside the platform rather than routing it to outside vendors, which adds coordination time and breaks the documentation chain.
When secondary operations live outside the platform, programs accumulate handoffs. Each one is a potential source of delay, a break in the quality record, and another vendor relationship to manage. Where Compass Precision facilities cover the required secondary processes, programs stay on a single quality system from raw material to finished, production-ready component.
Additional Capabilities
Secondary and Finishing Capabilities Across the Platform
- Multi-pallet systems and lights-out manufacturing for high-throughput recurring programs that need short, predictable lead times without constant operator intervention
- Design for Manufacturability (DFM) review at the quoting and pre-production stage, catching problems before they reach the floor and reducing cost and lead time on the first run
- CMM dimensional inspection and 3D inspection with automated measurement, full GD&T verification, and customer-specific documentation for programs that require it
- InspecVision sheet metal inspection for rapid, high-accuracy measurement of laser-cut and fabricated parts at production volume
- Precision CNC grinding for fine micro-finishes and exacting surface specifications that primary machining alone cannot achieve
- Graining, vibratory deburring, and surface preparation for edge finishing and cosmetic requirements before final assembly or shipment
- Anodizing, powder coating, and plating for surface protection and finish specifications, coordinated within or alongside the platform
- Assembly, PEM hardware installation, and silkscreening for complete part and subassembly production without leaving the platform
Additional Capabilities
Keeping Programs Complete Within the Platform
Secondary operations that live outside the platform add supplier touchpoints, extend lead times, and create inspection handoffs that can introduce variation. Where Compass Precision facilities cover the required secondary processes, programs stay on a single quality system from start to finish.
For programs requiring secondary operations not available at the primary machining facility, the platform’s routing process coordinates that work at another Compass Precision location where the capability exists.
