What Machine Automation & Slicing Technology does

MASTECH (Machine Automation & Slicing Technology) designs, manufactures, and services diamond wire saw systems used to precision-slice advanced materials. The company's product portfolio spans new equipment platforms — the SWR500 (planned September 2026), SWR800, SWR820, and the HWS200 (launched June 2026) — together with the SLS350 system, which integrates a robotic arm for automated material handling. In parallel, MASTECH supports a large installed base of legacy DMT-brand saws (RTS, RTD, CR750, CR500) via parts, refurbished equipment, retrofits, and field service, capturing aftermarket revenue from equipment originally sold by another vendor.

Underlying the product line is MASCORE, a proprietary control architecture built on EtherCAT fieldbus with Codesys compatibility, deployed uniformly across new systems and as a modernization upgrade for legacy platforms. This standardization is intended to enable faster commissioning, consistent process recipes across machines, and a software-defined upgrade path. MASTECH also sells diamond wire consumables and offers engineering consultation and process development services.

The business model is B2B capital equipment plus aftermarket: revenue is generated from new system sales, parts and consumables, refurbished equipment (including via an eBay storefront), legacy support contracts, and engineering services. Target customers are high-tech manufacturers and research organizations in semiconductor, aerospace, defense, medical devices, optics, advanced ceramics, and adjacent research segments — industries where slicing precision, surface integrity, and process qualification carry meaningful economic value. The company is privately held, bootstrapped by its three co-founders (CEO Brandon Garrison, CSO Will Eggleston, CFO Steve Mack), headquartered in Colorado Springs, CO, and operates with 11-50 employees.

Core offering

MASTECH designs, manufactures, and services diamond wire saw systems (HWS200, SWR500, SWR800, SWR820, SLS350) used for precision slicing of advanced materials such as semiconductor crystals, ceramics, aerospace alloys, and medical-grade materials. The company also provides parts, repair, maintenance, controls upgrades, engineering consultation, and refurbished equipment for both its own platforms and legacy DMT brand saws.

Product overview

MASTECH offers a suite of diamond wire saw systems and complementary services for precision slicing across high-tech industries. The core product portfolio includes the HWS200 (compact hybrid-wire system launching June 2026), SWR500 (mid-sized single-wire platform launching September 2026), SWR800 (large-format system), and SWR820 (recently delivered). These platforms share common features including precision indexing tables, configurable cutting architectures, and modern MASCORE controls. Supporting the product line are legacy platform support packages for RTS, RTD, CR750, and CR500 saws, which include replacement parts, engineered performance upgrades, and full controls modernization using MASCORE architecture. Additional offerings include diamond wire and consumables (authorized HWA reseller), used/refurbished equipment with retrofits, and engineering consultation services for custom process development and automation design.
