Precision Tool Technologies: Speed, Precision, and the Confidence to Scale

Founded by Jim Georges, Precision Tool Technologies has built a strong reputation in the optical and medical industries by delivering tight-tolerance parts with impressive speed. Over time, they expanded into firearms and quick-turn manufacturing, continuing to embrace complexity as a competitive advantage. Their in-house engineering team programs everything from 3-axis to full 5-axis mills, where precision is non-negotiable.

As part volumes and complexity grew, the team looked for ways to refine their process. GibbsCAM was already well established in their workflow, but they wanted to push it further, enhancing simulation accuracy, improving setup efficiency, and boosting programming confidence. That is where Midwest CAM Solutions came in.

The partnership brought clear benefits. With Midwest CAM’s help, every 3, 4, and 5-axis mill in the shop now runs with validated post processors. Simulations match reality within .005 inches of fixturing, allowing the team to set up jobs with near-perfect confidence and execute right the first time. The days of making toolpath tweaks on the shop floor are largely gone, replaced by a streamlined workflow that saves time and eliminates guesswork.

For Precision Tool, Midwest CAM is more than a service provider. They are a consistent, long-term partner who offers clear guidance, checks in regularly, and steps in quickly when needed. As the company looks ahead to expanding its multi-task machining capabilities, they know exactly who they will trust to help take their MTM programming to the next level.
