SAS Manufacturing Unveils Upgraded Colorado Facility

SAS Manufacturing Inc. announced the opening of its upgraded precision manufacturing facility in Englewood, CO this Wednesday.

3D printers, automated milling machines, and the ability for customers to use a 24/7 online platform to view the status of manufacturing projects are a few of the additions.

“Advanced manufacturing in the 21^st century requires integrating with the latest automated equipment into a production process that is open and transparent to the client,” president and chief executive officer of SAS Manufacturing, Heather Bulk, said in a statement. “Our platform interface will give clients instant access to job status, material tracing, and supplier certification data at every step of the process.”

The company currently provides products for the aerospace, defense, energy and other industries. In August, the Englewood facility will receive a monoBLOCK five-axis milling machine, a computerized numerical control metal fabrication device, produced by DMG MORI.

By late summer 2016, the company expects to be able to engage in projects with rapid prototyping and 3D printing, design and precision machining, and assembly and component testing.

“The SAS team can take a client’s concept from design and prototyping to testing and production in a few weeks,” Bulk said. “That same process used to take months with a third-party manufacturing shop involved.”
