Rochester Hills, MI (PRWEB) May 23, 2007 -- Auburn Engineering, Inc., leading provider of rapid prototyping and production services, announces the addition of two large high-speed CNC bridge mills. The latest generation of custom-built machines allows Auburn Engineering to cut large core and cavity simultaneously to meet aggressive tooling times. The CNC bridge mills feature a 7' wide by 10' long bed and a high speed spindle.

The benefits of improved quality, reliability, and performance stemming from the CNC bridge mills have already been proven on the precision services Auburn Engineering recently provided to a Tier 1 supplier. The CNC bridge mills were used for tooling of the Hummer H2 instrument panel for the 2007 1/2 model year refresh of the popular vehicle.

Notes Reid Scott, president, Auburn Engineering. "By offering our customers the ability to cut large core and cavity operations simultaneously, we save delivery time and reduce the complexity of the molding process. This translates to compressed time to market, reduced tooling costs, and a more competitive delivery capability. We know these are key considerations for our customers in today's competitive manufacturing sector."
