Revenue model

1. Custom Metal Component Manufacturing: ATW Companies generates revenue through the manufacture of precision custom metal tubing, fabricated metal components, and MIM components on a project-by-project basis. Revenue is derived from production contracts for complex metal parts serving aerospace, medical, defense, telecom, and industrial applications. Services include prototyping, low-volume production, and high-volume manufacturing.
2. Engineering and Prototyping Services: Revenue from co-development of novel machines, design for manufacturability engineering, rapid prototyping (FASTMIM in as little as 2 weeks), alloy development, and metrology consultation. These services complement manufacturing contracts and help land production business.

Core offering

ATW Companies is a precision metal fabrication holding company that designs and manufactures custom metal tubing, fabricated metal components, and Metal Injection Molding (MIM) parts for aerospace, medical, defense, telecommunications, and industrial customers. Through three wholly-owned subsidiaries (Judson Smith, A.T. Wall, Parmatech) it offers CNC machining, precision tube drawing, waveguide and precious metal tubing, automated tube fabrication, and engineered MIM components from prototype through high-volume production.

Product overview

ATW Companies is a precision metal fabrication holding company comprising three sister companies—Judson Smith Company, A.T. Wall Company, and Parmatech Corporation—offering complementary capabilities across metal tubing fabrication, CNC machining, and metal injection molding. Judson Smith provides CNC machining (milling, turning, Swiss screw, Wire EDM, laser fabrication) and tube fabrication/bending services for Medical, Aerospace, Defense, and Industrial markets. A.T. Wall specializes in precision tube drawing and waveguide tubing for high-frequency transmission applications. Parmatech offers Metal Injection Molding (MIM) technologies including conventional MIM for high-volume production, FASTMIM for rapid prototyping (2-week turnaround), and HDMIM for high-precision components achieving 5X conventional MIM accuracy. All ATW products are USA-made in lean manufacturing environments with ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D certifications.

Products and services

• Metal Injection Molding (MIM) Low cost, high volume manufacturing process combining powder metallurgy with injection molding technology that produces parts to near net shape, reducing or eliminating secondary and machining operations. Achieves 98%+ theoretical density after sintering with tolerances of ±0.3% to ±0.5% of a given dimension. Excels in small parts of complex shape, enabling manufacturing that may be prohibitive or impossible with conventional technologies. For aerospace, medical, defense, telecom, and industrial customers.
• FASTMIM Rapid Prototyping Service Rapid prototyping MIM service enabling prototype parts in as little as 2 weeks and low volume production in 3 months or less with reduced investment compared to Conventional MIM. Offers material and manufacturing technology options to meet specific needs. For customers needing fast iteration from prototype to production.
• HDMIM (High Density MIM) High precision MIM components achieving 5X the accuracy of Conventional MIM, with complex geometries not possible in Conventional MIM and customized alloys for specific application needs. Available in microlution (2' x 2' footprint) and automated solutions. For customers requiring ultra-precision metal parts with complex geometries.
• Tube & Wire Drawing Non-ferrous seamless and welded metal tubing manufacturing with in-house tube drawing capability for flexibility in custom sizing, cost, and lead-time. Materials include Aluminum, Copper, Brass, and Nickel Alloys in round, square, rectangular, and custom shapes. For customers needing custom-dimensioned precision metal tubing.
• Waveguide Tubing Precision drawn tubing for high-frequency transmission applications including space and avionics. Available in sizes WR22 to WR650 in materials including Aluminum, Bronze, Coin Silver, Copper, and Invar. Stocked in USA and UK distribution centers with 48-hour shipment capability. For telecommunications, space, and avionics OEMs.
• Precious Metal Tubing Cold drawn seamless tubing in Sterling Silver, Fine Silver, and Coin Silver in round, square, or rectangle shapes. Size range from 0.020" to 6.000" OD with precision tolerances typically half of commercial standards. Priced per troy ounce in U.S. dollars, with price fixed at date of invoice based on commodities market. For jewelry, electronics, and specialty industrial customers.

Partnerships

One partnership is on record.

• HP (Hewlett-Packard)coreTechnology or Integration · 19 September 2018Parmatech announced a partnership with HP to leverage HP's Metal Jet technology, combining Parmatech's industry-leading Metal Injection Molding (MIM) capabilities with HP's Metal Jet binder-jet additive manufacturing technology. This partnership significantly enhanced Parmatech's offering for metal additive manufacturing, enabling the production of the first commercially available 3D-printed metal golf club (Cobra Puma Golf KING Supersport-35). The collaboration was showcased at IMTS 2018 and led to Parmatech winning the 2021 MPIF Powder Metallurgy Design Excellence Award.
