American craftsmanship
Lynx is a US company: American engineering, process discipline and Quality Control on every part, with its office in Murrieta, California.
Machining through assembly
Milling, turning, fiber-laser cutting, bending, MIG, TIG and laser welding, and mechanical and electrical assembly in one shop, with the fixtures built in-house.
Built by machine builders
Lynx is the sister company of ASPE Inc., which has built RapidTag automatic screen-printing machines since 2010. In 2017 that machining and design work was opened to other industries.
From raw stock to finished assembly
Milling, turning, laser cutting, bending, welding and assembly, all done in Lynx's own plant. Send the drawing for the part you need and we quote whichever processes it takes.
CNC milling
3- and 4-axis milling for simple and complex parts, in low- and high-volume runs, made to your drawing specifications.
- 3- and 4-axis equipment
- Prototypes in as fast as 1 day

How each process runs
Process by process: what the equipment does, what it suits, and how the work moves through the shop.
CNC milling
Lynx runs 3-axis and 4-axis milling equipment, so a simple bracket and a complex multi-face part go through the same shop. We machine to your drawing specifications, in low- and high-volume runs, from more than 30 engineering-grade plastics and metals. Custom prototypes and end-use production parts come off the machines in as fast as 1 day.
Our engineers tailor-fit your part into the production process and improve it over time. No job is too small: the same process serves a run of a few parts and a run of thousands.
Every part is inspected by our Quality Control Department and checked against the drawing. Quality comes from improving the process, not only from inspecting the result.
CNC turning
Turning is for parts with rotational symmetry: knobs, pulleys, bellows, flanges, shafts, bushings, bearings, pistons and wear plates. We turn on turn/mill centers, which can also carry out secondary milling operations, and we stay with the job from prototyping through shipping.
Batches run from ten to tens of thousands of identical parts, in short, medium and long runs.
The quote form asks for quantity because a run of ten and a run of ten thousand are planned differently. Tell us what you need now and where the volume is likely to go.
Sheet metal laser cutting
Our sheet metal is cut on a fiber laser, not a CO2 laser. The beam is created by banks of diodes, amplified through fiber-optic cable and focused by a lens onto the material.
Laser cutting lets you start with one prototype and move to mass production from the same drawing. Cost per part comes down as quantity goes up, and the process takes lead time out of a sheet-metal job.
Cut parts move to bending, welding and assembly in the same shop. A sheet-metal job that needs all four does not travel between vendors.
Sheet metal bending
Laser-cut sheet parts are bent and formed in the same shop that cuts them.
Send the drawing of the finished part. An engineer reviews it, confirms whether it is a fit for our equipment, and replies by email or phone.
MIG, TIG and laser welding
Lynx welds galvanized steel, aluminum, mild steel and stainless steel with MIG, TIG and laser processes, using both manual operators and robotic welders.
We build our own fixtures in-house, which gives us flexible welding and modular fixturing for your assemblies.
The work ranges from structural welding to industrial welding, and no job is too small.
Mechanical and electrical assembly
Mechanical assembly takes the parts we machine, cut and weld and puts them together as a working unit, up to complete product assembly. Riveting is available where a permanent fastener suits the assembly.
Electrical assembly covers control panels: enclosures, switches, breakers, PLCs and HMIs, built to your drawing with the components sourced for the job.
Hardware sourcing is part of the job. We source the fasteners and components an assembly needs and check them against your requirements from the start of the project to the end.

How we run your job
Your goals are our goals: on-time delivery, competitive pricing and easier communication. Here is what that looks like on the floor.
Equipment and engineers
Haas, Doosan, Brother, Fanuc and Senfeng machines on the floor, run by experienced engineers.
Shipped on time
On-time delivery is part of the job, not an extra. Parts ship to your door anywhere in the United States and Canada.
Process fitted to your part
An engineer fits your part into our production process, then improves that process over time as we learn the part.
Call, text, WhatsApp or email
Reach us by phone, text, WhatsApp or email, Monday to Friday, Pacific Time. Bring any question about your product, not only the order in hand.
Every part inspected
Our Quality Control Department inspects every part and holds it to the drawing.
Not every job is ours
Lynx does not take every project. As machinists we take the jobs we know we can do well, and we say so early if yours is not one of them.
How a quote becomes parts
Send a drawing, hear back from an engineer, receive parts. The steps are the same for a prototype and for a production run.
Send your drawing
Upload a PDF, STEP, DXF, DWG, IGES or SolidWorks file with the quantity and material. No drawing yet? Call or email with the question.
An engineer reviews it
A Lynx engineer reads the print, checks that it is work we can do well, and replies by email or phone with questions or a quote.
We make and ship
Parts are machined, cut, welded or assembled in our plant, inspected by Quality Control, and shipped to your door or direct to your customers.
Industries we machine for
Different fields, different drawings, the same requirement: parts that match the print and arrive when promised.
Aerospace
Close-tolerance machined parts, made to the drawing and inspected to it.
Automotive aftermarket
Car and motorcycle parts, from a first prototype to production runs.
Displays and signage
Metal components for displays and signs, one-off or in quantity.

From a small garage to a full-scale plant
Lynx Manufacturing is the sister company of ASPE Inc., the California screen-printing machine maker Alexander and Thomas Szyszko founded in 2010. Since 2017 the shop has made parts for other industries.
It started from humble beginnings, in a small garage. Alexander Szyszko and his son Thomas founded ASPE Inc. in 2010 to build RapidTag automatic screen-printing machines for the garment and promotional-products industries, and by 2014 those machines were selling around the world. The machining and design work behind them grew into a full-scale manufacturing plant with CNC machines, laser cutting and bending equipment. In 2017 that work got its own name, Lynx Manufacturing, and opened to other industries.
Today Lynx is a US company with its office in Murrieta, California, in Riverside County between Los Angeles and San Diego, and a full plant behind it. We do not take every job that comes in: as machinists we know which work we can do well, and that is the work we take. If a part is not a fit for us, we say so up front, and we would rather lose the quote than miss the delivery.

Questions buyers ask us
Why have parts made by Lynx?
Because Lynx is a US company that runs its shop to American standards: a Lynx engineer reads every print, Quality Control inspects every part, and you can call, text, WhatsApp or email the shop directly, Monday to Friday, Pacific Time.
What are your lead times, and how do parts ship?
Lead time depends on the part, the quantity and the material, so it comes with your quote rather than from a table on this page. Milled prototypes can come off the machine in as fast as 1 day. Finished parts ship to your door across the United States and Canada.
Can I visit the shop?
Yes, and we encourage it. Call or email ahead and we will set a date and send directions, so the right people are on the floor when you arrive.
What files should I send for a quote?
PDF, STEP (.step or .stp), DXF, DWG, IGES (.igs) or SolidWorks (.sldprt), up to 25 MB per file. Include the quantity and the material. Notes on tolerances, finish and the date you need parts help the engineer who reviews the drawing. If you have both a print and a 3D model, send both.
Does Lynx take on any project?
No. We wish we could, but as machinists we take on the jobs we know we can do well, and we would rather tell you that at the quote than find it out on the floor. Send the drawing and let's see if we are the right fit for each other.
Can you ship directly to my customers?
Yes. Lynx offers full fulfillment. You tell us where each order needs to go, we ship it, and your customers receive an order confirmation and tracking information from us.
