When relying on an outside partner for anything, there is a question of trust.
DSR has scored victories behind the scenes too. In 2018, the company acquired the ISO 9001:2015 certification in recognition of its quality management and sustainability initiatives, demonstrating that the company's operations fit-in with
The shop's other win has been a victory against the business challenges of COVID-19. In just two years, the machine shop - founded to support the company's drag race program - has successfully diversified into a range of sectors, from defense and aerospace to commercial applications.
Scalable solutions
Now, says
'Now we can bring that same precision to bear on competitive quality and scalable solutions for the defence, aerospace, commercial, motorsports and automotive industries.'
Minimizing scrap
How has DSM achieved all of this in such a short time? The answer lies in DSM's choice of tooling partner, the Sandvik division
DSM also sought help from Sandvik to become, what Osier describes as, a 'full-on kind of general engineering machine shop.' That is, one that can build project products ranging from small specialty fasteners and the right-mass nitro engine blocks, to bespoke aluminum parts for defense and aerospace. From rapid prototyping all the way to mass production.
'When relying on an outside partner for anything, there is a question of trust,' says Osier.
Very complex processes
'These machining processes are very complex,' explains Flores. 'The tooling from Sandvik is used in the lathes and mills we use, made by
Sandvik offers the engineering support to allow us to tackle any project.
For these applications, DSM relies on
Osier estimates that DSM's production is now divided roughly 50-50 between its racing obligations and its general precision engineering contracts. The manufacturer will continue to build on this going forward, including investing in 3D metal printers.
'Sandvik has consistent products that are at the top of the market and it offers the engineering support to allow us to tackle any project,' says Osier.
It looks as if DSM will continue leading the race in a range of industries for many years to come.
