Our approach to manufacturing
Every project is different, and we adapt to meet the scope, whether a quick turnaround for a single repair or a complete concept-to-production workflow.
We work with everything from rough sketches to fully developed CAD files, supporting customers through design, prototyping, machining, and quality assurance. Our process is hands-on, collaborative, and focused on delivering reliable outcomes that perform in the real world.
Equipment and technology built for precision
Our workshop has advanced machinery to handle complex and detailed manufacturing tasks. From CNC machining and laser welding to CAD design and metrology, every job is backed by reliable tools and technology that ensure consistent, high-quality results. Our in-house capability allows us to move quickly from design to delivery, reducing lead times and keeping quality in check at every step.
Hawk Tooling in-house core capabilities
CNC machining and turning
Our Puma 250 CNC lathe and Syil X7 4-axis vertical milling machine allow us to machine complex parts with high precision and repeatability.
Laser welding and engraving
We use a 2KW fibre optic 4-axis CNC laser system for precision welding of delicate or complex components, and a 50W fibre laser engraving system for detailed marking and ID work.
EDM and manual machining
Our Chmer EDM machine, manual mills, and lathes allow for specialist machining and one-off operations that require fine control.
CAD design and modelling
Using Autodesk Fusion 360 and AutoCAD, we support complete CAD/CAM workflows for prototyping, modelling, and production-ready design.
Surface finishing and coatings
We offer fine bead blasting, surface grinding and highly polished surfaces, along with MIL-spec Alodine chemical conversion coating systems for corrosion resistance and surface treatment.
Metrology and inspection
Quality control is supported by Mitutoyo instruments, granite surface tables, microscopes, and gauges in a climate-controlled environment to ensure dimensional accuracy.
Production tooling and support equipment
Our Schaublin turret lathe and small sheet metal panbrake support small part production, helping keep costs down instead of paying for complexed CNC equipment rates.
Why engineers and manufacturers choose Hawk Tooling
We offer more than a typical small-to-medium machine shop. With in-house design, CAD modelling, and advanced tooling capabilities, we support projects from concept to production with the precision and flexibility of modern manufacturing demands.
