Precision Machining Engraving

Real Machining and Engraving Engineered and Built In-House

Most marking companies assemble or distribute. Monode manufactures everything.

Our in-house CNC machining, wire and sinker EDM, and precision engraving hold tight tolerances on difficult materials, and it's the same capacity that makes our custom machines and precision tooling possible. No outsourcing, only complete control to ensure the work is exact

Equipment & Processes

Comprehensive Manufacturing Capabilities
Under One Roof

Our shop gives our engineers the tools to design something and then actually make it, to tolerance, on materials that are hard to work. Every step of the machining and engraving process is completed at Monode, unlike companies that simply package third-party components.

Inspection & Verification

Microscope inspection to precision measuring systems, and CMM verification confirm the work meets specification before it leaves.
In addition to controlling every step of the process, Monode also provides a range of services to engineer a solution around your application instead of forcing one based on a single technology. We hold tight tolerances on difficult materials for several capabilities, backed by experienced in-house engineers who do this every day.
The Foundation of Custom Work

Why Our In-House Approach
Matters to You

man working on machine

Our machining and engraving capabilities are the engine behind Monode's most valuable work.

A custom marking machine is only possible if you can machine and engrave its components to spec in-house. A precision die is only possible if you own the EDM and machining that produce it.

Because we complete the entire process ourselves, we control quality, timeline, and tolerance end to end, instead of waiting on an outside shop and hoping the tolerance holds.
