How It Works

How our Newport PA Swiss screw shop works

01

Drawing Review

We review your drawings, specifications, samples, and requirements and provide manufacturability input, so every program reflects your part, not a template.

02

Programming

Travis Dillman programs your job in Mastercam or Esprit. With 25 years in turning and Swiss screw, the person writing your program is the one running your machine.

03

Setup

We configure the machine specifically for your part. Swiss machining excels at high-volume, tight-tolerance small diameter work, and every setup reflects that standard.

04

Machining

Travis runs your job from program to finished part. No handoffs between departments, no miscommunication between programming and production.

05

Inspection

Every order ships with documented inspection using Geo Met 101 and CMM Manager. Documented inspection and release records are maintained in accordance with customer and NTM quality requirements.

Can one shop handle both prototype and production?

Yes, and at NTM, all Swiss screw machining runs on the same floor with the same team. There's no gap between the programmer who built your prototype and the machinist running production. If a drawing change is identified during prototype or manufacturing review, we coordinate the proposed change with the customer and obtain approval before production.
