Forming
At Broxton, we utilize world-class forming technology from Trumpf to deliver unparalleled precision in our manufacturing processes. Our high-quality multi-axis machine tools ensure accurate bends on both simple and complex parts, consistently achieving perfect angles. Our range of CNC forming machines offers the ideal capacity for small and large parts, accommodating varying levels of complexity. The ability to complete operations in one setup significantly boosts production efficiency by minimizing part handling. Our highly skilled setter operators guarantee that every part is made accurately, repeatably, and efficiently. Additionally, our extensive tool library supports the creation of complex formed features with minimal investment in customer-specific tooling.

Formlabs Form 4 Basic Package
Introducing Form 4: the lightning-fast masked SLA 3D printer that’s revolutionizing the game. Boasting an unparalleled materials library and a dependable print engine, Form 4 sets a new standard for speed and accuracy. Bring your visions to life in no time with seamless workflows, unmatched reliability, and impeccable part quality—all within the Form 4 ecosystem. Elevate your design game with Form 4. Form 4’s speed is powered by Formlabs’ new advanced Low Force Display™ Print Engine—a combination of ultra-high-power LEDs, collimating lenses, optical filters, and a robust liquid crystal display. Together, they rapidly cure each resin layer, regardless of the part's size or quantity. With precise tolerances, parts printed in any Form 4 resin consistently match your design parameters every time. With the versatile Formlabs materials catalogue Form 4 and its biocompatible counterpart, Form 4B, open doors to fresh avenues of innovation and production. Boasting up to four times faster print speeds compared to earlier Form Series printers and a 30% larger build volume, Form 4 marks a significant leap forward in resin 3D printing.

Formlabs Form 4L
The Formlabs Form 4L is a high-speed, large-format masked SLA 3D printer, offering unmatched reliability and accuracy. With a vast range of materials and an easy, seamless workflow, it helps bring your biggest ideas to life faster than ever, delivering impressive part quality every time. Powered by Formlabs’ new Low Force Display™ Print Engine, the Form 4L uses ultra-high power LEDs, collimating lenses, optical filters, and a durable liquid crystal display to cure each layer of resin quickly and consistently, whether you're printing one part or many. Its precise print engine ensures tight tolerances, so every part matches your design specifications.

Formlabs Fuse 1+30W
Formlabs is expanding access to digital fabrication, so anyone can make anything. They like to think that they are reinventing 3D printing and we are inclined to agree. They continue to push the boundaries for 3D printing and released their first SLS (selective laser sintering) desktop machine the Fuse 1 in 2021.

FORMODAL®
Our FORMODAL ® aluminum sheets are offered in a wide range of sizes and alloys and are the ideal choice for tool, mold and model making. Under the FORMODAL ® brand, we combine various alloys that are characterized by excellent machining properties, low residual stress, dimensional stability and a wide range of available sizes. Our materials are divided into two main categories: Cast plates and rolled plates.

FPGAs
We offer FPGAs from top-tier suppliers, covering a wide spectrum of programmable logic devices for custom hardware acceleration and embedded systems. Every FPGA is tested using manufacturer-provided diagnostic tools and our proprietary configuration validation process, ensuring logic integrity, timing accuracy, and seamless integration with customer-specific design frameworks.

Freedom Arm
FREEDOM ARM Introducing the FREEDOM ARM Series by LK Metrology: Your ultimate solution for portable measuring arms, offering unmatched quality control, on-machine verification, reverse engineering, and 3D modeling capabilities. Designed with versatility in mind, the FREEDOM ARM series is available in 6-axis and 7-axis configurations, featuring touch probe and laser scanner options, tailored to meet the diverse needs of today’s dynamic manufacturing environments.
FRP Engineering
We employ a number of moulding techniques including: Hand Layup, Spray Layup, LPPM (Low Pressure Press Moulding), RTM (Resin Transfer Moulding), RTML (Resin Transfer Moulding-Light), RI (Resin Infusion), and Polyurethane Low-Density Foam (foam cores for RTM, RTML, and LPPM). Closed Mould moulding processes as listed above, i.e. LPPM, RTM, RTML, produce a smooth semi-cosmetic ‘B’ surface. Many of our customers prefer this, particularly where the end user will see the ‘B’ surface of the moulding. By offering such a wide range of moulding techniques, we are able to provide the most appropriate solution, at a competitive price, in regular volumes ranging from a few to several thousand per year.

Fulcrum Manual CMM
Accurate inspection right next to your machine tool Inspect your parts through every step of the manufacturing process. The Fulcrum is a revolutionary manual CMM, by employing a three rotary axis design, Aberlink have created a space-efficient tabletop design enabling it to be used where it is needed, on the shop floor near your machine tools. Designed to optimize inspection as parts come off the machine one op at a time, feeding back to the machining process at the earliest opportunity, before final inspection, before more expense. A simpler user interface has been developed for Aberlink measurement software, making it even easier to use on a manual CMM, while retaining full functionality. After manually scanning the part, critical features are automatically recognized, and dimensions automatically displayed. Intuitive software and innovative design means you’ll be measuring your parts within minutes of switching on the Fulcrum CMM, even with no prior operating experience. It will quickly become the tool of choice for jump-on, ad-hoc inspection, whether checking 1st off inspection, small batch quality control, or setting CNC machines. The Fulcrum is the easiest CMM to learn and use.

Fully Managed Packing Service
We specialise in streamlining your packaging and logistics operations. A fully managed in-house packing service involves a comprehensive solution where John Pipe International takes complete responsibility for the packing operations within a company’s facilities. This service covers all aspects of the packing process, from the procurement and supply of packaging materials to the actual packing and preparation of goods for shipment or storage.
