Precision CNC machining in Tijuana, Mexico

We are the shop you call when the part is not in any catalog, when the print squeezes the tolerance or when the line is already down. CNC machining, tooling and metrology in Tijuana, from a single part.

CNC Machining — MPC Maquinados

CNC machinery

Current-generation equipment, always ready

Four vertical machining centers and two CNC lathes on the floor. These are the real capabilities your part is quoted against: spindle, tool changer and bar capacity decide what can be done in one set-up and how fast.

Why plants call us back

We do not compete to be the cheapest shop in Tijuana. We compete to be the one that does not hand you a second problem.

Metrology before shipping

No part leaves without dimensional control using calibrated, traceable Mitutoyo instruments. If your customer needs a first-article report, it ships in the box.

Our own design department

We do not just machine, we design. We take a shop-floor need, model it in 3D, propose material and process, and you approve before we build.

Emergencies we actually take

A stopped line costs more than any part. We run emergency jobs and single-piece spares without punishing the lead time.

Material traceability

We buy from established distributors and keep the mill certificate. In regulated industries, knowing where the steel came from is not optional.

Confidentiality of your design

We sign an NDA before receiving your files. Your prints, models and tooling are never shown or reused with third parties.

Border logistics handled

On-site delivery in Tijuana, Tecate, Rosarito, Ensenada and Mexicali, plus crossings into San Diego with export paperwork in order.

01 → 06

How we work

Six steps, no surprises in between. You know where your project stands at all times.

01

We receive your print or your part

A PDF, a STEP model, a DXF or the worn spare in your hand. If there is no drawing, we take the dimensions ourselves and hand the print back to you.

02

Technical review and quote

An engineer reviews tolerances, material and process; if something raises the price without adding function, we tell you. Quote in under 24 business hours.

03

Design and approval

When the job calls for it, we model in 3D and send the design for your sign-off. Nothing gets machined before you approve.

04

Machining and processing

CAM programming, set-up, verified first piece and production run. Heat treatment and finishing are coordinated within the same lead time.

05

Dimensional inspection

Control against the print with calibrated instruments. Critical parts are inspected 100 % and the result is documented.

06

Delivery and backup

We deliver at your plant or coordinate the border crossing. If the part does not fit as it should, we correct it: the job does not end at the invoice.

What our customers say

We came to MPC with a stopped line and a bushing the OEM needed three weeks to supply. They delivered it in four days, in the right material and measuring exactly what the print called for.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The questions we get most by phone and WhatsApp, answered straight.

How long does it take to get a quote?

Under 24 business hours once we receive a legible print or a 3D model. If the project needs design work first, we confirm within that same window how long the technical proposal will take.

What files do you need to quote?

We work with PDF, DWG, DXF, STEP, IGES, SLDPRT and Parasolid. If all you have is a photo or the physical part, we can start there too: we take the dimensions and produce the drawing.

Is there a minimum order quantity?

No. We machine from a single piece. In fact, a large share of our work is one-off spares and prototypes that no volume supplier wants to take.

Do you deliver into the United States?

Yes. We coordinate crossings into San Diego and Southern California with export paperwork in order. We also deliver on-site in Tijuana, Tecate, Rosarito, Ensenada and Mexicali.

Do you sign NDAs?

Yes, and we sign before receiving your files. Your prints, models and tooling are never shown to third parties or reused on other projects.

What tolerances can you hold?

It depends on material, geometry and process. On precision work we routinely hold tolerances in the ±0.0005" (±0.013 mm) range; if your print demands more, we review it before committing.

Do you have a print ready for quoting?

Send your drawing in PDF, STEP, IGES or DXF and get a technical and commercial proposal in under 24 business hours.
