MW+ manufacturing capabilities are built on accuracy, repeatability, and process control — ensuring every component meets technical specifications, quality expectations, and international compliance requirements.The MW+ engineering teamThis integrated approach reduces lead times, improves quality consistency, and simplifies supplier management for international customers.
Six manufacturing capabilities, one facility
MW+ integrates these disciplines under a single quality system, so components move between processes without leaving MW+ hands.
One building, 15,000 m², nothing subcontracted
Machining, inspection, finishing and packing happen under one roof in Shenzhen. That is the reason a part with three different process requirements still moves on one schedule, against one quality system, with one person accountable for it.
Specialist CNC capabilities we run in-house
Beyond general milling and turning, MW+ operates five specialist process groups on the same shop floor in Shenzhen. Because nothing is subcontracted, a part that needs 5-axis milling, wire EDM and a laser-cut bracket stays inside one quality system and one delivery schedule.
Multi-Axis Machining
3, 4 and 5-axis centres machine complex geometry in a single setup. Fewer fixtures means fewer stack-up errors, so true position holds where multi-operation routing would drift.
Multi-axis machining services
Swiss Machining
Sliding-headstock turning for long, slender parts that would deflect on a conventional lathe — shafts, contacts and threaded pins produced in high volume with live tooling.
Swiss machining services
Micro Machining
Miniature features and thin walls machined at the tight end of our range, down to ±0.001 mm, for medical, optical and connector components.
Micro machining services
EDM — Wire and Sinker
Electrical discharge machining reaches what a cutter cannot: sharp internal corners, deep narrow slots and hardened tool steel, with no cutting force on the workpiece.
EDM machining services
Laser Cutting & Fabrication
Fiber laser profiling of sheet and plate feeds our fabrication cell directly — brackets, enclosures and weldment blanks cut, formed and welded without leaving the building.
Laser cutting services
CNC Prototyping
First articles in 3–5 business days, cut from the production material on the production process — so what you approve is what scales.
CNC prototyping servicesMost programmes still start with CNC milling services or CNC turning services, then draw on the specialist cells above for the features those two processes cannot reach. If you already know the part but not the route, send the drawing through our CNC machining quote request and an engineer will specify the process mix — or read how we hold tolerance across all of them on our quality assurance page.
From CAD file to delivered part: our process
Every MW+ order moves through the same five checkpoints, whether it’s a single prototype or a production run of thousands.
Send MW+ a STEP, IGES, or SolidWorks file — DXF and DWG are also accepted for 2D references.
MW+ engineers check the design for manufacturability and return feedback before any tooling is committed.
A transparent quote covering material, process, and lead time options is issued for sign‑off.
Parts run on the MW+ multi‑axis CNC fleet with real‑time process control and in‑line inspection.
CMM inspection, material certification, export packaging, and tracked global shipping close out the order.
