CNC Milling
3-, 4- and 5-axis machining for prismatic parts, housings, plates and complex contoured geometry.
Up to 60 × 30 × 30 in
Precision CNC machining — Southern California
Milling, turning, EDM, grinding and finishing — plus the engineering to get a part ready to cut. One prototype or ten thousand production pieces, quoted within 24 hours.
Capabilities
Solis runs a vetted network of machine shops across Southern California. You deal with one person, one quote and one invoice — the work routes to whichever floor is right for the part.
3-, 4- and 5-axis machining for prismatic parts, housings, plates and complex contoured geometry.
Up to 60 × 30 × 30 in
Live tooling and sub-spindle lathes for shafts, bushings and threaded components in one operation.
Ø.062 – Ø18 in
High-volume small-diameter turning for pins, fittings, fasteners and medical components.
Ø.020 – Ø1.25 in
Sharp internal corners, hardened tool steel, thin webs and details a cutter cannot reach.
±.0001 in positioning
Surface, cylindrical and centerless grinding for flatness, finish and post-heat-treat accuracy.
8 Ra finish achievable
Laser cutting, forming, TIG and MIG welding for brackets, enclosures and weldments.
Up to .500 in plate
Type II and hardcoat anodize, black oxide, passivation, powder coat, plating, bead blast and tumble.
Mil-spec available
CMM reports, first-article inspection and full dimensional documentation shipped with the parts.
FAI on request
Engineering
Most shops need a finished drawing before they will talk to you. Solis will start from a napkin sketch, a worn-out part or a folder of mismatched files and get you to something manufacturable.
Send the broken part. It gets measured, modeled and re-drawn as a clean parametric CAD file — then made again, in the same material or a better one. Ideal for obsolete equipment and legacy tooling with no surviving prints.
Revisions to an existing model, drawing cleanup, proper GD&T callouts, format conversion between STEP, IGES, DXF, SLDPRT and Parasolid. Handy when the original designer is long gone.
A review before anything is cut: wall thicknesses, radii, tolerance stacks and setup count. Small changes here routinely take double digits off the part price.
One-off proof of concept first, then the same part scaled to a repeatable production run with fixturing and inspection built in. Same files, same contact, no re-quoting from scratch.
Materials
Certified material with mill certs available on request. Working in something not listed? Ask — it is usually available.
Process
The same routing every part follows, from the file landing in the inbox to the box on your dock.
Upload a STEP, drawing, sketch or photo of the part. Include quantity, material and the date you need it. If all you have is the broken part itself, ship it in.
A real quote from a real machinist — price, lead time and any DFM notes that would make the part cheaper or stronger. No account signup, no algorithm.
You confirm the quote, material is ordered and the job is routed to the shop best suited to the part. Programming and fixturing start the same day.
Parts are cut, deburred, sent out for finishing if the job calls for it, and dimensionally checked against the print before anything is packed.
Packed with inspection documentation and material certs where required. Local delivery around Los Angeles, or freight and courier anywhere in the country.
