Specialist tooling and component manufacturer has strengthened its measurement capabilities and reduced lead times by investing in a non-contact flexible measuring system.
One of our principal objectives for participating was to improve our existing ISO 9001:2000 quality management system to accommodate aerospace requirements, as this would enable A and M to move into aerospace in its own right."

A and M EDM is now looking to working with TEC-Concepts to gain NADCAP accreditation for its special processes (non-conventional machining) in order to consolidate its position as a specialist aerospace subcontractor.
