Graphite machining

CNC machining of graphite and carbon parts with tight tolerances and controlled surface finish.

We machine graphite and carbon components for thermal, electrical, and wear applications. We work from drawings, CAD models, or physical samples, with dust control and surface finish suited to the grade.

Plant in García, Nuevo León, with capacity for prototypes and production runs, shipping to Mexico and the Americas.

Machining parameters (reference)

Typical starting values for fine/medium-grain technical graphite. Adjust by grade, tool and fixturing. SI first; imperial in parentheses.
