CAPABILITIES

Engineering Support

PTG partners closely with customer engineering teams to improve manufacturability, reduce risk, and accelerate time to production.

• Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Cost (DFC) feedback
• Early-stage engineering collaboration and process planning
• Tolerance analysis and feature optimization
• Material and process recommendations based on application requirements
• Prototype-to-production transition support

Our engineers work alongside machinists and quality teams to ensure designs are optimized for precision grinding, consistency, and repeatability.

CNC Grinding

Our CNC grinding capabilities support complex, tight-tolerance tools from prototype through production.

• Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Cost (DFC) feedback
• High-precision grinding for complex geometries
• Tight tolerance and critical dimension control
• Production and low-volume/high-mix support

Coatings & Surface Treatments

PTG provides precision-controlled surface finishing to condition carbide cutting tools, delivering consistent edge preparation and superior surface finishes without compromising critical tool geometry.

This controlled process improves tool life, cutting performance, and wear resistance while ensuring repeatable quality across production runs.

Our team works with trusted, qualified suppliers to ensure coatings meet dimensional, cosmetic, and performance requirements, with full inspection and documentation support as required.

Materials Expertise

PTG produces cutting tools that machine a broad range of materials to meet application-specific performance requirements, including:

• Aluminum alloys
• Stainless steel
• Carbon and alloy steels
• Titanium
• Inconel and other high-temperature alloys
• Engineered plastics
