Helping Customers From Prototype to Production
Our Bay Area CNC Machine Shop & Services
Our foundation for doing business is building relationships with our customers, working with integrity, and being a part of the vision that is Silicon Valley. We excel at helping customers solve the toughest of manufacturing challenges while reducing costs with our industry leading DFM. So much so, that we guarantee we will can lower pricing of any part design you may have.
2 Sides of the Production Coin
We are proud to offer 40+ years of manufacturing and mechanical engineering experience.
CNC Machining, Milling, Turning & Wire EDM
Master Machinist Jon Drury is one of the few remaining machinists in the Bay Area trained in the “old school methods”. Having apprenticed under German Master machinist, Ziggy A., in the days when machining was done by hand, Jon learned to maintain tolerances “the old fashioned” way; a cornerstone in operating any precision machine shop. He has been a machinist for 40 years and a master machinist for over 20 years.
Mechanical Engineering, Design, DFM, Tolerancing and Operations
The Parametric team shores up engineering support, advanced 3D modeling, production drawings, workmanship standards and DFM. With over 25 years in design and machining solutions for Applied Materials, JDSUniphase, Tesla Motors, KLA, SGI and more…we speak your language to help you tweak your design for lower pricing and delivery times.

What It’s Like To Work With Us
We are down to earth people and easy to talk too.
We Lower Customer's Costs
Design For Manufacturability (DFM)
Design for Manufacturability (DFM) lowers machined part costs and lead times. It is so important, that we created a unique newsletter (The Dispatch) to share best practices so that we all win together.
