We Have Likely Already Produced a Part Just Like Yours

We have completed thousands of projects over the years, all of them aluminum machining and anodizing. Chances are we have seen a part like yours before, and that experience is your advantage in quality and reliability.

One material, two operations, every day. That focus is the point: a shop that has cut your kind of part in your alloy hundreds of times carries less risk than a shop learning it on your program.

One vendor, from raw stock to inspection.

Machining and anodizing happen on the same floor, under the same management, so your part never changes hands to get finished. That holds whether the job is routine or export-controlled. We carry the ITAR registration, FFL and SOT to handle both the same way.

What our ITAR registration, FFL and SOT actually let us build

Operation 01 · Machining

Your kind of part, a hundred times over.

Aluminum is the only material we machine in quantity, so the odds are good we've already cut a part like yours. The alloy is on the shelf, the fixturing exists, the program is proven. Your first article isn't our first attempt.

Every machine on the floor runs the same control, and every job runs to standard work. Your part isn't tied to one machine or one person.

  • Production releases A thousand parts, finished and shipped as a complete unit. This is the work the shop runs best.
  • One-off, high skill The part with the feature nobody wants to fixture. One experienced person, one setup, a written risk analysis before we quote it.

BluArc is in the next building, not the next state.

BluArc started as a way to finish our own parts. More than half its work now comes from other shops, including some that machine the same kind of aluminum parts we do.

Our process runs to MIL-PRF-8625F. Standard colors are black, clear, red, green and blue. If you have a color in mind and enough parts to justify it, we'll tell you what it takes to run it.

The full spec, standard colors, and what to send with the part

A titanium racking fixture lifting freshly anodized aluminum parts clear of an anodizing tank, clear liquid sheeting off the parts.

If we cut it, we can finish it.

Our largest cutting envelope is 120 inches of X travel. When the anodizing line went in, we sized the tanks to the same 120 inches. On purpose.

A part that fits the machine fits the tank. Yours gets machined, anodized, and inspected at one address instead of riding a truck between two vendors' schedules.

Why buyers short-list us

Price matters. Schedule matters. Neither one saves you if the part is wrong.

Any shop on your list can probably make the part. What you're actually deciding is what happens on the day something goes sideways: who calls you, how early you hear about it, whether the fix costs you a week you don't have.

  • You talk to the team that makes your part. The people who quote, machine and anodize your part work in the same building, and you reach them directly.
  • Complex work gets a risk analysis in writing. Before we quote a difficult-to-machine part, we write down what could go wrong and what it takes to prevent it.
  • One purchase order. One lead time. One number to call. Machining and anodizing sit at the same address, under the same management. Conforming parts all under one roof.
