Faster lead-times, greater accuracy, and less distortion compared to traditional sheet metal machining, from first prototype to mass production.
At Vaga Industries, we work closely with you at every step to create components of the highest quality that meet your exact requirements and industry-specific standards.
Discovery
We pride ourselves on offering personal, hands-on service to our customers that other companies won’t. For orders large and small, we provide a free design and manufacturing consultation to guarantee that your parts meet your exact requirements and budget.
Prototype
Our goal is to deliver a component that exactly matches your needs and your timeline. Prototyping is often the best way to get there. You can submit your specifications to our expert engineers, who will vet your idea personally. We can print several prototype designs at once, giving you more looks at a prototype in less time, for a faster turnaround.
Production
With our multi-step photochemical etching process, we can fabricate precision metal parts from virtually any design, any metal, and of any complexity for high or low volume orders. Perfected over three generations, this process includes first article inspection to ensure proper dimensions, and is subject to the most stringent quality controls under our ISO 9001 and AS 9100 certifications.
Delivery
We offer unmatched turnaround times for photochemical etching. You’ll have a flawless final product In a matter of days, not weeks, unlike with traditional machining methods. And because we understand that timely deliveries are important to your success, we partner with the leading shipping companies to ensure you get your parts on time.
Heritage
We got our start in 1966, carefully photo etching the undersides of stealth fighter wings in a California garage. We’re still made in the USA. Still producing to the most exacting specs. And still providing attentive customer service from first call through final delivery. But today, we’re shipping parts efficiently, all over the globe.
