5-Axis Simultaneous Machining
Complex contours and compound angles in a single setup — fewer fixtures, tighter true position, uncompromising accuracy on the geometry other shops can't hold.

We Do The Hard Parts.
Exceptional-quality 5-axis machining for aerospace, defense, and medical — from complex high-end one-offs to high-mix, low-volume and production runs, held to the tightest tolerances.

// OUR NICHE
Engineering + Manufacturing,
under one roof.
We’re a licensed engineering firm and a precision machine shop. So you don’t just get a part — you get engineering feedback that makes it better: tighter where it counts, simpler where it isn’t, and built right the first time.
How we engineer better parts- 01DFM feedback on every quote
We tell you what to change to cut cost and risk before we cut metal.
- 02One accountable team
No gap between the engineer and the shop floor — one team owns the result.
- 03A superior part
Stronger, lighter, lower-cost, and easier to reproduce.
// OUR WORK
// 02 — CAPABILITIES
Built for the work others decline.
Full-service precision machining under one roof — from a single prototype to production runs, milled and turned to print.
CNC Milling

// 07 — ABOUT
A Texas shop built on hard problems.
Rigid Concepts is a veteran-owned precision machine shop in Van Alstyne, Texas, proudly serving Dallas, Plano, Richardson, Allen, McKinney, and the wider DFW metroplex — along with clients across the country.
We started this shop to take on the parts other shops turn away: exotic alloys, unforgiving tolerances, geometry that demands five axes and a steady hand. That focus is our identity. When the job is hard, that's exactly when you call us.
