Built to outlast
the donor.

From broken to better
Five operations, every part.
A real sequence — nothing ships until it clears the last one.
- OP 01
Take in
The failed OEM part, a customer's broken piece, or a gap no catalog fills. It comes to the bench.
- OP 02
Measure
Scanned and modeled to spec. Datums and tolerances called out where the load actually lives.
- OP 03
Make
CNC from 6061 or brass, or FDM in PCTG+ on the Bambu Lab floor — whichever the duty cycle demands.
- OP 04
Finish
Hydrodipped or anodized through our finishing partners so the surface outlasts the function.
- OP 05
Ship
Inspected, boxed, and sent from Spicewood. Every part gets the stamp before it leaves.
Partners
Finishing beyond our floor.
