Celebrating 40 Years of precision engineering
Four decades of experience
Avonside Engineering was established in 1984 in Wiltshire, at that time seeking to provide machine shop service to local companies. Our main activity at the time was recreating functional spare parts using as model broken ones brought in by our customers.
Our reputation proliferated because we would manufacture new parts in a short time and with fewer costs, enabling companies to resume production quickly.
Present-day work
Over the years, we have expanded our facilities to provide a wider range of services available due to our modern workshop in Melksham.
We continue our breakdown part service, but we now also have available CNC turning and milling and can provide one-off prototype components as well as small-batch work.
File types we work with:
- (.DGN)
- (.DXF)
- (IGS .Iges)
- (.VDA .Vdafs)
- (.STP .Step)
- (.3DM)
- (.SAT)
- (.STL)
We are also able to produce 2D and 3D models.
