Motorsport Precision Engineering
Thompson Precision regularly provide specialist parts for the Motorsports industries, including high-precision machined metal and plastic components, metal and plastic rapid prototyping and tooling for carbon fibre components. Using 3 and 5 Axis CNC Machining, as well as the expertise of our multi-skilled engineers, we can machine complex components accurately and quickly.
Thompson Precision machine a wide range of materials, including aluminium, titanium, engineering plastics, polyurethane and epoxy tooling boards and many more. We keep some material in stock for fast-turnaround projects – contact us to find out more.
We have a huge experience in the field of additive manufacture in plastics and metals and to facilitate the rapid manufacture of precision castings in a wide range of metals. The combination of rapid prototyping technology with precision CNC machining can offer motorsport designers previously impossible options and produce 3D printed components with optimum weight and strength characteristics. We fully understand the potential of this cutting-edge technology and we are always excited to work on new projects and lend our experience to help maximise the benefits.

Case Studies
CNC Machining of Large Hydraulic Manifold
The client required a large hydraulic manifold to be machined from a block of aluminium 1100 x 600 x 400mm. With the manifold needing to be machined to a high tolerance required by the client.
Electronics Enclosure
This case study was from a client who was very specific about the requirements for this electronics enclosure for the exact positional tolerances. It was a challenging job & one we completed to perfection.
High Precision Aerospace Fixture
The case study for this job was for an aerospace part that was no longer available to purchase. We had limited information to go on, but once again we finished this job to a very high standard.
Mechanical Prototyping of a Fishing Reel
The client for this case study had a new fishing reel concept that they wanted us to manufacturer so they could test it out before taking the design further.
