Precision mechanics
Mectalent specializes in precision mechanics that meet extremely high-quality requirements. We manufacture complex components for both prototypes and series production.
Our versatile machines and the expertise of our specialists ensure the automated electric discharge machining (EDM) and CNC machining of ultra-precise parts. In terms of processing and repeat accuracy, we can achieve tolerances down to thousandths of a millimeter.
Precision mechanics are essential in the production of a wide range of machines, components, and products. Examples include satellites, medical instruments and implants, optomechanical devices, nanocoating equipment, antennas and radio technology devices, measuring instruments, and robots—all of which contain precision parts.
Common materials used include various steels, titanium, hard metals, nickel alloys, aluminum, copper, brass, and technical plastics.
Precision mechanics manufacturing services at Mectalent
We offer precision mechanics services flexibly according to our customer’s needs—whether it’s a single prototype, a small batch, or recurring series production.
In our work, precision meets efficiency: short lead times, optimized production, and high-quality results.
Our precision mechanics manufacturing services include:
Certified quality in precision mechanics
Quality assurance is an essential part of our production process. Every part is measured and documented carefully according to the tolerances defined by the customer.
Mectalent operates according to the following international quality systems:
- ISO 9001 – Quality management
- ISO 13485 – Medical device manufacturing
- EN 9100 – Aerospace industry requirements
- AQAP 2110 – Defense industry quality requirements
What is precision mechanics?
Precision mechanics refers to the manufacturing of mechanical parts and structures with extremely small dimensional deviations.
“Mechanical structures” refer to parts and assemblies that must meet exact measurements, maintain their shape during use, and function reliably as part of a larger system. In these structures, dimensional accuracy, tolerances, material selection, and manufacturing method play a critical role.
Precision mechanics focuses on ensuring that part dimensions, shapes, and surface qualities meet strictly defined requirements—often with micrometer (μm) precision.
Precision mechanics is particularly needed in industries where component performance relies on extreme accuracy, such as medical devices, aerospace systems, and optical instruments.
How does precision mechanics differ from fine mechanics?
Fine mechanics usually refers to the manufacturing and assembly of small, mechanically complex parts.
It emphasizes compactness and mechanical functionality – like in a watch mechanism or optical device – but does not necessarily require the same tight tolerances as precision mechanics.
To simplify:
Fine mechanics focuses on assembly and miniaturization, while precision mechanics emphasizes dimensional accuracy and functional reliability. Mectalent can combine both when needed.
Precision mechanics as part of contract manufacturing
Mectalent is not just a machining shop – we are an expert partner supporting the entire product development and manufacturing chain.
The manufacturing of precision mechanical components is closely tied to our equipment manufacturing services. With our in-house production, we can ensure that components are high-quality, and the manufacturing process is flexible and cost-efficient.
We can manufacture individual components or deliver ready-assembled modules and devices that combine mechanical, optical, and electronic parts.
