Turning concept into reality takes design flair, production capability and the right tools for the job. Bowes Fastrac has invested heavily in the means to manufacture the necessary moulds, tools and fabrication to deliver the final product. With a diverse range of three and five axis machining centres, Bowes Fastrac Ltd has the capability of producing some of the largest profile, one piece tools in the country, providing precision and speed of turnaround to support the most demanding production schedule. Fully supported by Computer Aided Design and Manufacture (CAD/CAM) we can take basic, two and three dimensional CAD data and develop it into complex three dimensional surfaces for tooling and components.
