PRECISION FOR
THE WORK AHEAD.
From industrial components and prototype tooling to regulated manufacturing supply chains, Thompson & Smith Industries evaluates projects for fit with our CNC milling and wire EDM capabilities.
Where our capabilities fit.
We work with customers who value direct communication, domestic manufacturing, and a practical evaluation of requirements.
Industrial Manufacturing
Machined components and support tooling for machinery, equipment, maintenance, and general industrial applications.
- Prototypes and one-off replacement components
- Fixtures, tooling, and small production quantities
- Drawing-based CNC milling and wire EDM
Defense & Government Contractors
We welcome appropriate subcontract manufacturing inquiries from U.S. defense suppliers, government contractors, and other public-sector supply chains.
- Veteran-owned, SBA-certified SDVOSB
- Active SAM.gov registration
- Project-specific requirements and contract flow-down review
Firearms & Related Prototyping
We selectively consider firearms-related prototyping and development tooling projects.
- Prototype components and proof-of-concept work
- Development fixtures and specialized tooling
- Applicable licensing and regulatory requirements reviewed before acceptance
Engineering & Product Development
Our hands-on machining resources can support designers, builders, and small manufacturers during the physical development of a part or process.
- Machinability and fixture discussions
- Functional prototypes and development components
- Short-run production following feasibility review
Real equipment.
Defined capability.
Our primary customer-production machines are a Fadal VMC 15XT and a Sodick AQ325L wire EDM. We review part size, weight, material, workholding, tolerances, and schedule before committing to a job.
Industry experience is valuable, but the customer’s actual drawing and acceptance requirements determine whether a project is a fit.
Review Machine CapabilitiesRequirements come first.
Start with the process, approximate dimensions, weight, quantity, and a brief description.
We consider machine capacity, material, handling, schedule, and any special requirements.
If the work aligns with our capabilities, we request drawings or models and discuss specifications before quoting.
