Continued Investment in our Factory
CNC ROUTER
In line with our continued investment in technology at MPM, we are excited to announce that our very first CNC router will be commissioned for use in late June. This investment bolsters our highly accurate manual pattern making team which has underpinned MPM since 1978 forming part of our core offering.
The machine will support our pattern making and trimming teams by offering a variety of functions from board/foam kit machining, two- and three-dimensional pattern cutting and parts trimming. With an automatic tooling changer, its flexibility is key to serve as a valuable member of the team at MPM.
DUST EXTRACTION UPGRADE
As part of the investment, the existing pattern shop dust extraction will also be upgraded to provide ATEX rated protection for employees, along with increased space within the factory for the arrival of ‘Alan’ (in reference to Alan Godden, our retired former pattern shop leader).
Combined with recent investments in 3D scanning technology, MPM will be able to offer extremely accurate patterns, reducing lead time and costs to our customer base.
UPDATE ON ALAN'S SAIL ACROSS THE SEAS
Our CNC Router began its journey from Taiwan and has been travelling across the globe to reach our factory. Currently it is on its final leg and is due to set off from the Netherlands later this week. ‘Alan’ will bring a new level of precision and efficiency to our manufacturing processes, so we look forward to its arrival and getting it embedded into our manufacturing process.
