3D PRINTING

Need 3D printing services? With our 3D printing services we can provide you with highly accurate prototypes as well as fully functional end-use parts. Our 3D printing services are ideal for rapid prototyping and low-volume parts manufacturing.

SHORT RUN PARTS PRODUCTION

Our sweet spot for production runs of machined parts is from 50-150 pieces. If you have a question about this, please reach out to us.

CNC Machining Robotics

CASE STUDY

CNC Robotics

We embrace technology at Distinctive Manufacturing. This includes CNC robotics. Here’s one example of the advantage CNC robotics provides for our customers. We were recently contacted by a company needing 320 of these parts machined quickly. Not only that, but these need to be made out of A2 tool steel, and require precision grinding, heat treating, and coating. Thanks to our DMR-3 Robot Tending Cell we were able to quote 2 weeks on this project. Have a tough deadline? We thrive under pressure!

We here at AGR have found Distinctive Manufacturing Group to be one of our Key Strategic Partners in meeting our milestones. Whether it be large weldments and plate work with multiple operations, or small, one of a kind parts, DMG has consistently supported our requirements with timely deliveries, overall quality and competitive pricing.

I have worked with Ray from Distinctive Manufacturing Inc. for more than three years now. I have always had quick responses from him for quotes. Deliveries have always been on time and he’s been very cooperative on working out technical issues with our engineers. It is a pleasure working with him and his staff.

I began outsourcing to Distinctive MFG Group in the early part of 2012, and I’m extremely pleased with their services and capabilities. Their attention to detail and quality are evident in every part and I know when I source something to them the delivery will be on time.
