Founded in 2018, QCD Precision has grown from a small engineering operation into a trusted CNC machining and subcontract manufacturing partner for customers across the UK. Our name reflects the values we operate by: Quality, Cost and Delivery. These principles guide every component we produce, from one-off prototypes to full production batches.
Our team brings over 100 years of combined experience in machining, engineering support and problem-solving for demanding sectors including oil and gas, hydraulics, green energy, defence and advanced manufacturing.
We operate a range of Mazak milling and turning centres, supported by in-house inspection, laser marking and dedicated rapid-response scheduling. Our capacity covers prismatic, cylindrical and complex multi-face components, with full material traceability and documented quality control built into every stage.
Whether you require tight-tolerance machining, technical support or repeatable production, our shop-floor systems, tooling strategies and inspection processes ensure consistent accuracy across all quantities.
As an LRQA ISO 9001:2015 certified company, we operate a fully controlled inspection environment supported by an Aberlink Axiom Too CMM, calibrated metrology equipment and clear documentation throughout. Material certification, FAIR, ISIR and PPAP documentation are available when required.
From quotation to delivery, every customer benefits from a dedicated point of contact, transparent communication and predictable, reliable service. Our commitment to continuous improvement, sustainability and local industry development forms the foundation of our long-term relationships.
For quotations, technical support or urgent machining requirements, speak to our team today. We respond quickly to enquiries and provide clear, accurate guidance to support your project. Whether you need prototype machining, production parts or fast-response manufacturing, we’re ready to help. Contact us to discuss your requirements.
Our FAQ section covers common technical questions we receive regarding machining capability, materials, inspection requirements and documentation. As a precision engineering company working across multiple sectors, we understand the importance of clear information when planning production, assessing feasibility or preparing a quotation.
To quote accurately, we ask for a fully dimensioned drawing or 3D model, material specification, quantity, tolerance requirements, and any applicable standards or inspection documentation. Please also specify any additional processes such as heat treatment, anodising, NDT or assembly. We accept STEP, IGES, DXF and STL files, and our engineering team can advise if any geometries or tolerances could influence cost or lead time.
If you do not have everything finalised, that’s no problem. We support customers from early concepts through to full production and can help you establish exactly what you need. The clearer the information we receive, the more accurate and predictable the pricing and turnaround will be.
Dimensional accuracy is controlled through a combination of calibrated tooling, in-process inspection and final verification using our Aberlink Axiom Too CMM. All measuring equipment follows a strict calibration regime, and inspection records are logged against the relevant job for full traceability. Material certificates, batch numbers and heat codes are recorded at intake and linked to each component throughout machining. When required, we supply FAIR, ISIR and PPAP documentation. Laser marking allows permanent part identification, ensuring traceability is maintained throughout the component’s full lifecycle.
We machine a wide range of materials including carbon steels, stainless steels, duplex grades, aluminium, nickel alloys, brass, bronze, copper and engineering plastics. Each material requires specific cutting strategies to achieve optimal tool life and surface finish. Stainless and nickel alloys demand controlled feeds and speeds, rigid setups and appropriate coolant delivery due to work-hardening characteristics. Aluminium benefits from high-speed machining with aggressive chip evacuation. Plastics require careful heat management to prevent distortion. Our engineers adjust tooling, programming and work-holding to suit the material and ensure consistent, reliable results across all jobs.
