NTG Bolsters Capabilities with Advanced Technology
Estimated reading time 2 minutes
NTG, which delivers world-class precision engineering solutions, has further bolstered its offering with the addition of state-of-the-art machines to its operations.
The company has added the Studer Favorit Cylindrical Grinder and the Markforged Mark Two 3D Printer to its portfolio of advanced technology. The aim of which is to further bolster its traditional machining capacity and advanced additive manufacturing capabilities to offer customers even greater flexibility, reduced lead times, and engineered solutions that meet the most demanding technical requirements.
NTG specialises in high-precision machining, CNC milling, turning, EDM wire erosion, and complex component manufacturing. It is part of the NTG Group which also comprises ABS Precision. Together the companies deliver tailored engineering solutions for industries that demand excellence in every component.
With decades of expertise and advanced facilities which span 45,000 sq ft, NTG manufactures bespoke, high-quality components for some of the world’s most demanding industries. These include defence, power generation, nuclear, renewables, subsea, and oil and gas.
The Studer Favorit Cylindrical Grinder has a distance between centres of 1,600mm (63”), a centre height of 175mm (6.9”), and a maximum workpiece weight of 150kg (330lbs), further broadening NTG’s production scope. The machine offers exceptional stability and offsets short-term temperature fluctuations for consistently accurate results.
The Markforged Mark Two 3D Printer produces parts with aluminium-level strength directly from CAD data, cutting lead times and increasing design flexibility. By combining Onyx base material with continuous fibre reinforcement – including carbon fibre, fibreglass, HSHT fibreglass, and Kevlar – NTG can manufacture highly durable components suited to demanding conditions. With the ability to integrate reinforcement during builds, the Mark Two makes it possible to create functional prototypes, production tooling, and low-volume end-use parts that perform under real-world loads.
Nick Betts, Group Business Development Director of NTG Group, commented: “These machines allow us to strengthen both sides of our operation: high-precision machining for established production methods, and advanced composite 3D printing for rapid prototyping and functional, end-use components. Together, they reflect our ongoing drive to integrate the most advanced technology into our processes to ensure precision, repeatability, and efficiency across every project.
“By investing in the latest technology, we ensure that our customers continue to benefit from world-class machining solutions backed by advanced capability and expertise.”
