OUR AUTOMOTIVE MANUFACTURING CAPABILITIES

From precision CNC machining to advanced additive manufacturing, sheet metal fabrication, and injection molding, Imago delivers high-quality manufacturing solutions for automotive prototypes and production.

CNC Machining for Automotive

We deliver high-precision CNC machining services ideal for automotive components requiring tight tolerances and intricate features. Our capabilities include 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis milling and turning for engine parts, brackets, housings, and structural components.

  • Tolerances as tight as ±0.01 mm
  • Excellent surface finishes and repeatability
  • Suitable for aluminum, steel, and high-strength alloys
Ideal for engine components, transmission parts, brackets, housings, and other precision automotive applications.

3D Printing for Automotive

Additive manufacturing enables rapid production of complex, lightweight automotive parts and prototypes that are difficult to produce with traditional methods. We support SLA, SLS, SLM (Metal), FDM, and MJF technologies.

  • Complex internal lattices and lightweight designs for improved efficiency
  • Fast turnaround for prototypes and low-volume production
  • Ideal for custom and innovative automotive components
Typical automotive uses include lightweight structural brackets, complex fluid manifolds, and fit-check prototypes.

Sheet Metal Fabrication for Automotive

We offer precision sheet metal fabrication including laser cutting, waterjet cutting, metal bending, tube laser cutting, and welding. These processes are ideal for body panels, enclosures, brackets, chassis components, and structural assemblies.

  • High accuracy and clean edges
  • Cost-effective for both prototypes and production
  • Ability to create complex formed and welded automotive assemblies
Ideal for body panels, battery enclosures, chassis components, mounting brackets, and structural automotive assemblies.

Injection Molding & Tooling for Automotive

For plastic automotive components, we provide injection molding, overmolding, insert molding, and custom tooling solutions. This is suitable for interior parts, lighting lenses, connectors, and specialized plastic components.

  • High repeatability and excellent surface finishes
  • Cost-effective for medium to high volumes
  • Support for engineering-grade and high-performance plastics
Perfect for interior trim, lighting lenses, dashboards, connectors, battery components, and specialized automotive plastic parts.
