New 5 Axis CNC milling machine locates in Hampshire
A huge new 150ft 5 axis CNC milling machine has been installed at the Daedalus site near Lee-on-the-Solent.
The new large-scale precision kit installed by MonsterCAM will mean that British boatbuilders can now outsource work locally rather than to mainland Europe as was previously the case.
The machine cuts fibreglass moulds to a precision of 0.2mm, as needed in the yachting industry.
Orders to use the machine have already come in from manufacturers and boat builders who had previously had to send large scale work to cut hulls, decks and other superstructures abroad.
MonsterCAM Ltd is a joint venture between Peter Hill and Terry Stubington, directors of Lee-on-the-Solent boat building firm Marine Concepts, and Nick Phelps of Curvature Group, a Hertfordshire based manufacturing company.
