This wide range of state-of-the-art equipment enables the company to process many different materials including steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, copper, brass, plastics and exotic materials engineered to exacting tolerances in a range of thicknesses.
In 2022, MTW purchased a new Mazak fiber optic laser to add to its current equipment capabilities.
