Torlon Polyamideimide Materials
CCT utilizes many different types of CNC equipment to produce parts for our customers. We have four CNC-controlled multi-spindled routers, five CNC controlled vertical machining centers, and one large format router. Our goal is to keep our personnel supplied with the equipment they need to produce parts to the most exacting tolerances. |
