Machine Shop

ACE is a proven development centre known for excellence in engineering, testing and prototyping. Our on-site machine shop enables us to provide manufacturing support both before your test date and during your testing campaign. We have both manual and CNC mills and lathes, MIG and TIG welding, as well as various hand tools which enable us to accomplish a wide variety of building and maintenance tasks. This workshop is supported by a team of skilled machinists, designers and professional engineers.

Prior to your test date, you can provide detailed engineering requirements for your test or test object. Once we have this information, we can provide recommendations on interfacing with our chambers and support the building process. Should your test object require rework during testing, we can support this by making adjustments, repairing or building new parts.

This manufacturing environment removes existing barriers for early-stage engineering and technology companies. Our knowledgeable staff can leverage the shop to build prototype test objects and test equipment for clients, from students to start-ups, SMEs and the local business community.
