Our customer is a large automotive service and performance modification company based in Canada, specializing in high-performance racing engines and track vehicles.
Serving professional racing teams and performance enthusiasts, the company places exceptional emphasis on machining accuracy, structural strength, and batch-to-batch consistency. Every engine component must perform reliably under high RPM, heavy loads, and constant vibration—conditions where even minor deviations can lead to failure.
For this project, the customer was seeking a CNC machining partner capable of delivering complex aluminum engine components with both precision and repeatability.
Material: AL 7075-T6 high-strength aluminum alloy
Manufacturing Process: Multi-axis CNC milling
Application: High-performance racing engine system
Key Features:
Lightweight structure
High mechanical strength
Complex geometry
This component plays a critical functional role within the racing engine, where weight reduction must be achieved without compromising rigidity or durability.
The part features:
Irregular external surfaces
Deep internal cavities
Multiple transitions requiring precise toolpath control
Such geometry places high demands on CNC programming strategy, machine stability, and tool selection, especially when machining high-strength aluminum alloys like 7075-T6.
Several mounting and interface dimensions were defined as critical features. These dimensions had to remain highly consistent to ensure:
Accurate assembly
Stable operation under high vibration
Long-term reliability during racing conditions
Any deviation could affect engine performance or lead to premature wear.
Beyond functional requirements, the customer requested a precisely engraved logo on each part.
This added an additional layer of complexity:
The engraving had to be clean and sharp
Positioning and size had to remain consistent across parts
Surface quality could not be compromised
During the prototype stage, our engineering team conducted a detailed analysis of:
Critical dimensions
Assembly reference surfaces
Load-bearing areas
Two prototype parts were produced and underwent multiple rounds of dimensional inspection and assembly verification, ensuring full compatibility with the customer’s engine system.
To handle the complex geometry, we:
Optimized multi-axis CNC toolpaths for stability
Controlled cutting parameters to minimize vibration
Ensured smooth surface finishes on both external contours and internal cavities
This approach allowed us to maintain accuracy while preserving the mechanical properties of the AL 7075-T6 material.
The logo engraving process was treated as a separate machining operation.
By fine-tuning engraving depth, feed rate, and tool selection, we achieved:
Clear, well-defined lines
Uniform appearance across parts
Consistent placement without affecting functional surfaces
After completing the initial prototypes:
Sample quantity: 2 pieces
The customer conducted full engine installation and track testing
Following successful validation, the customer confirmed a production order of 2,000 units.
The parts were smoothly integrated into the customer’s racing engine programs and approved for long-term supply.
This project highlights our capabilities in:
CNC machining of AL 7075-T6 high-strength aluminum
Manufacturing of complex, performance-critical engine components
Stable transition from prototype validation to volume production
By delivering consistent quality and reliable lead times, we earned the customer’s trust and became part of their long-term motorsport supply chain.
High-performance racing engines leave no room for compromise.
Precision machining, material expertise, and process stability are essential—not optional.
