Build Your Competitive Edge with Sigma's Engineering Services

Sigma Toolings partners with you from building the first prototype to stable serial. We work work as a partner owning the journey from process concept to stable production. By closely working with your team our specialists deliver practical innovation, and outcomes you can measure.

Why Sigma

Full workpiece ownership from experts who’ve launched and stabilized complex engine, transmission or a wide range of precision components.
Complete process design + implementation from one accountable team.
Latest machining strategies proven on shop floors.
Efficient, cost-optimized tooling that protects CPC/CPP at every scale.
Creating a seamless manufacturing process managing everything from tool, workpiece, appropriate fixture, machining strategy, coolant optimisation, to alignment with gauging.
Quality & reliability from day one: Cp/Cpk targets agreed, then met.

Where Sigma Fits In

Planning to Manufacture a New Component?

Sigma takes over the project planning for the complete workpiece on an end-to-end basis We deliver a reliable, documented, and scalable: at your site with transparent costs. This allows your team to focus on core operations.

Retooling for New Parts on Existing Machines?

Sigma retools your existing machines to run the new parts with confidence: we study the fit, refresh the set-up, and reshape the workflow so production ramps quickly and stays steady. Your team gets a clear, documented path from first trial to steady output, with on-floor support where it matters most. The result is simple: the parts you promised, on the machines you already own—launched on time, with quality you can stand behind.

Optimizing Live
Production

Sigma steps into live production and layers in smarter methods and upgraded tooling while your takt keeps ticking. We smooth out the workflow, steady the quality, and stretch tool life so output climbs without the any disruption. You’ll see it where it counts: cleaner parts, fewer surprises, and a schedule that holds—backed by simple, regular KPIs such as longer tool life, improved part quality, and higher throughput. Get started with modern strategies and innovative tooling.

The Sigma 7-Step Playbook

Discover & Diagnose

We learn the part and your reality—tolerances, takt, machines, coolant, gauging, and constraints.

Deliverables: machining concept options, feasibility notes, risk register, draft tool/operation list.

Architect the Process

We design for capability and takt—not either/or—and lay out the flow across your assets.

Deliverables: cycle-time study, rough/finish windows, machine split, clamping principles, acceptance criteria.

Engineer Tools & Fixtures

One accountable team for cutting tools, combination concepts, and μ-true fixturing.

Deliverables: tool & fixture engineering, drawings, step-reduction concepts, assembly/setting/balancing at Sigma.

Prove It Digitally (Safe-Reach & Collision)

We validate reach, clearances, and stability before chips fly.

Deliverables: 3D collision/clearance study, tool-restriction map, harmonisation of tool–fixture–workpiece–machine envelope.

Program & Parameterise

NC that protects capability—and your cycle time.

Deliverables: OEM-specific NC programs, special cycles (e.g., interpolation turning/trochoidal), customer-specific structure, locked parameter windows.

Launch & Lock Capability

We commission on site (or at Sigma if schedules are tight), then prove capability.

Deliverables: machine geometry check log, full break-in, process capability study, PPAP pack, operator/setter handover.

Sustain & Scale

Keep the line stable—and ready to grow.

Deliverables: start-up floor support, troubleshooting, training, inventory optimisation (VMI/min-max/standardisation), monthly performance huddles, change control for variants.
