Heavy Metal Precision Machine is a small mechanical engineer run machine shop in Denver, CO specializing in big, heavy, difficult to machine and weird parts.


About:
A mechanical engineer began his machining path building a CNC router in the basement of a college house. Over the years, he gained experience micro machining stainless and nickel alloys for aerospace then onto larger robotics components. A unicorn in engineering, having actual hands on, practical machining yields an expertise in design for manufacture.
