Kitting Services
Kitting services are when we package together materials to your specifications. For example: if you need a repair kit that contains fiberglass or carbon, epoxy, fillers, and mixing supplies, we can package that together in the sizes specified for that kit. All you have to do is pull that pre-packaged box off the shelf and either use it or send it to your customer. We can even drop ship it directly for you so that you don’t have to stock it. We can also kit for production, with materials cut to length and/or cores cut to shape.
Kitting can save you labor and overhead costs by allowing us to break the larger components down here at our facility and box them into the quantities that the end user is going to need them in. Kitting streamlines with what we do here on a daily basis, so there is no need to upset your work environment breaking things down into smaller packages or trying to organize different SKUs into kits. Kitting for production can reduce waste and help control costs by limiting the materials that the workers have access to and keeping the material inflow uniform.
We have created kitting for numerous customers for everything from single item kits to complex repair kits and even shape-cut multi-laminate kits. The process begins with you. Just reach out and let us know what you need kitted. If you have a bill of materials or specifics, that will help us out; if not, we can work through that together. After we determine what you need, we’ll put a proposal together. If the proposal is satisfactory, we’ll program your kit into our system with its own unique identifier. With this completed, you can simply provide us with your kit product number and the quantity you'd like, and we'll take care of the rest.
CNC Services
We provide CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled) cutting and machining services utilizing our CNC routers. We have experience in cutting plastics (polycarbonate, UHMW, PVC, etc.), woods (plywood, MDF, dimensional wood), and composites. We are able to provide 2.5 dimensional cutting and 3d cutting services.
2.5 dimensional (2.5D) cutting is simply cutting out parts, typically from sheet goods. For example, plywood boat kits or plywood boat parts are a 2.5 D cut. Cost depends on the amount of programming and machine time it takes to cut parts. Boat parts can run as low as $25 per sheet of plywood and other complex parts with lots of detail can run as high as $100 per sheet.
Here are some examples of parts that can be cut using 2.5D cutting:
Surfboard Templates
Rocker Jigs
Boat Frames
Plywood (stitch and glue) boat panels
Foam Core/Balsa Core for composite parts
UHMW rub rails and strike guards
Battery Trays
Master Patterns (i.e. for boats, aircraft, or other parts)
Part Jigs
Acrylic Boat Windows
Signs
Parts trimming
3D cutting entails milling out 3 dimensional shapes using the router to obtain either a finished part, a plug, or a direct mold.
Here are some examples of parts that we can mill in 3D:
Foils- Daggerboards, rudders, kite foils, small wind turbine blades, wings etc.
Skateboard/Longboard Plugs
Signs
Sculptures
Paddle Blades/Paddle Cores
Handles
Shifter Knobs
Pinewood Derby Cars
Molds
Costs for 3D milling vary depending on part size, complexity, finish desired, and material selection.
