With over three decades of hands-on experience in manufacturing, machining, and engineering — including Swiss machining and multi-axis turning — Light Speed Solutions offers personalized consultation services to help you bring your ideas to life and streamline your operations. Whether you're an inventor developing your first prototype, a job shop needing help solving a production bottleneck, or a company looking to optimize part design for CNC machining or 3D printing — we're here to help. We have no horse in the race, so to speak, and you can get an unbiased recommendation on the processes, products, and machines that will help drive your company to the next level. We are only concerned about your success. Why Companies Choose Light Speed Solutions for Consultation: When you're running a machine shop or manufacturing operation, lost time is lost money. Many shops face growing pains that slow production, waste materials, or lead to missed deadlines — but these problems are often fixable with the right guidance. Here’s why clients turn to us: Lack of In-House Expertise: Not every team has a seasoned engineer or programmer. Your Engineers may also just not have time to focus on these types of problems as they have to deal with immediate issues. We bring 35+ years of hands-on knowledge to bridge that gap quickly. Throughput Bottlenecks: If your machines aren't running, you're not making money. We help eliminate setup inefficiencies, reduce downtime, and boost spindle time. High Scrap or Rework Rates: Poor CAM strategies, bad tooling choices, or inadequate probing routines can wreck your margins. We’ll help you tighten up processes to get it right the first time. Quoting or Programming Overload: Let us augment your workflow with quick-turn quoting help or optimized toolpaths so your team can focus on production. Adopting New Tech: New Swiss machines or multi-axis lathes? We can help you hit the ground running and get ROI faster. Low-Margin Work: We’ll help you identify what jobs to chase and how to reduce cost per part on the ones you’re already doing. DFM & Customer Design Issues: Many part problems start at the drawing board. We’ll help you work smarter with your customers or internal design teams.
