Industries served
Aerospace
Paradigm has over 12 years experience manufacturing aerospace components for commercial and government space flight. Over the years we’ve developed broad partnerships with material suppliers and familiarity with FAI, FAR, DFAR and ITAR compliances, which mean fewer supply issues or regulatory holdups for your job. We can quickly and easily machine thin-walled, swept-surfaced components from aluminum or titanium, while our CAD CAM software fully simulates the manufacturing process to virtually eliminate any programming mistakes or possible machine collisions.
Turbo Machinery & Pumps
We manufacture turbo machinery components including impellers, blisks, inducers and housings. These components require programming simultaneous 5 Axis motion to tight tolerances, and CMM software that allows us to inspect these complex ruled, swept and composite surfaces directly from the CAD model. We’re also comfortable with the difficult machine alloys that can be used to design these components including Titanium, Hastelloy,® Inconel® and other super alloys.
Medical Components
Our suite of precision equipment and software produces the tight tolerances and surface finishes necessary for medical applications. We routinely machine alloys like titanium, chromium cobalt and PEE K plastics to our clients’ strict specifications.
Laser Welding
• High quality welds with precision accuracy, low heat input, and extremely high speed
• Joins metals not weldable by conventional methods including:
- hard-to-reach areas
- extreme proximity to sensitive parts
- parts with magnetic fields
• Two laser welders:
- 500-watt Nd:YaG laser
- 2000-watt ytterbium fiber laser
• Penetration:
- High-temp alloys: up to 1/8"
- Stainless steel & aluminum: up to 1/4"
Rapid Prototypes
Our quick-turn rapid prototyping services can provide you with a functional component without the wait you might expect. Our pricing is often competitive with SLS , FDM and SL A technologies while providing a highly accurate prototype with the exact material properties of your final part. We have also reduced tooling and pattern costs for many companies by machining parts that might normally be cast and then post machined.
Production
Paradigm is fully capable of completing production parts, from small quantities to larger scale production. The production shop utilizes lean manufacturing and SPC inspection to control the production process, and provide quality parts.
Facility Capabilities
Statement: Paradigm has over 10,000 sq ft of machine shop floor space available for housing machines, assemblies, and production. The facility has over a dozen machines that are utilized throughout the process of machining.
