At KT Tech, customers know our precision machining services well. But for many projects, machining is only part of the process. We offer several value-added services in house, including laser marking, assembly, and passivation. By handling these steps directly, we can help you simplify your supply chain and reduce your lead times. Laser Marking: Clear, Durable Part Identification When we first opened our shop, mechanical engraving was often the standard callout on customer dr

At KT Tech, we take on many different types of challenging projects like micropart machining and low-volume Swiss machining. Our team is used to working on parts that have no room for error. Machining 3D printed metal parts requires the same level of focus. These parts often arrive at our shop after significant time and resources have already been invested in the additive manufacturing process, so preventing scrap is critical. Learn how we’ve adopted the right equipment and p

At KT Tech , we take pride in our speed. Our standard lead times are typically around 10 business days, which is already faster than many shops offer. But we truly stand out in our expedited services, where we can turn projects around in 5 business days or less. Here is a closer look at our expedite capabilities and what helps us deliver on them. Fast Turnarounds When You Need Them Expedites are extremely common among our customers and make up a large percentage of our projec

Custom machines are tailored to your specific process and goals, so there are more variables than with standard, off-the-shelf equipment. To ensure success, KT Tech treats testing and validation as a core part of every build. We define measurable criteria with you upfront before conducting structured testing throughout the project. Start With a Clear User Requirements Specification (URS) Testing and validation planning begin even during the earliest project conversations. As

When we begin projects with custom machines at KT Tech , the first conversations usually focus on the big picture. We ask questions like: What is your bottleneck? What are the safety risks? What are your goals? Those answers guide our early design direction and help us define success for your machine. But there are plenty of smaller design decisions that are often just as critical to a machine’s performance, like material selection. We work closely with customers to underst

When you’re vetting a new manufacturing partner, it’s normal to have a variety of questions. At our California machine shop, we work with a wide range of industries and project types, so we get a wide variety of different questions from our customers. Below are some of the common questions we get, along with some simple answers to help you better understand what we can do at KT Tech. We’re always ready to help answer any other questions, too, to ensure you can start your nex

At KT Tech , our customers approach us about our custom machine building services with any number of production challenges: bottlenecks, scrap risk, inconsistencies, and more. We offer a turnkey solution by designing and building machines that address several of these factors and free your team to focus on more critical work. But before committing to an investment, many of our customers try to quantify the potential return on their investment. We can help you identify the ke

Designing and building a custom machine involves a lot of moving parts within a company. Even small design changes can take multiple weeks to complete. But that timeline can decrease dramatically with our machine building services . If you’re handling the process internally, your designers, engineers, buyers, and operators all need to align frequently. Your team then has to coordinate with multiple external vendors to find a production slot, send updates, and wait for revisi
