Driving Sustainability Forward! 🌱 This week, two members of the TMS team had the privilege of attending the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team Sustainability Event at their incredible Technology Centre in Brackley. It was fantastic to meet Alice Ashpitel, Head of Sustainability, and hear first-hand about the team's ambitious sustainability strategy, the progress they're making, and how innovation continues to shape the future of high-performance engineering. The visit also included a tour of the impressive 60,000-square-metre state-of-the-art facility, where Championship-winning Formula One cars are designed, developed, manufactured, assembled and prepared for racing. Seeing the level of precision, technology and collaboration behind one of the world's most successful F1 teams was truly inspiring. At TMS, we're always looking for opportunities to learn from industry leaders and bring fresh ideas back to our own business. Sustainability, innovation and continuous improvement are values we share, and experiences like this help us continue to evolve for the benefit of our customers and the wider manufacturing industry. A huge thank you to the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team for hosting such an insightful event and for sharing your vision for a more sustainable future in engineering. #Sustainability #Manufacturing #Engineering #FormulaOne #Innovation

We're proud to support organisations that invest in their communities, and Maidstone United continues to do exactly that. We'd like to wish Craig and everyone involved with the club the very best of luck for the season ahead. #MaidstoneUnited #NationalLeagueSouth #CommunityFootball #TotalMachiningSolutions

Sometimes you've just got to get stuck in... literally! Finishing is a crucial stage in many of the projects we undertake, ensuring every surface is perfectly prepared before the next phase. It's a process that demands patience, precision, and plenty of attention to detail. Our finishing benches are often full when work is flowing through the workshop, but this larger project called for a slightly different approach. Instead of working around the component, the team had to climb inside it and get a little more hands-on to achieve the finish we were after! No matter the size of the project, our commitment to quality remains the same. It's these finishing touches that make all the difference to the final result. If you have a project that requires expert craftsmanship and precision engineering, we'd love to hear from you. 📞 01634 685319 📧 sales@tms-ltd.net #PrecisionEngineering #Manufacturing #CNCMachining #Craftsmanship #BehindTheScenes

Great Project - our largest 3d Printing Project to date!
Progress is taking shape ⚡ We've officially moved on to the core layer of our carbon fibre aeroshell. In this update, Filip, one of our Structural Engineers, explains the role this stage plays in the manufacturing process. The core layer is key to increasing stiffness while keeping weight to a minimum, helping us achieve the strength-to-weight ratio required for an efficient solar race car. With the core now in place, we're one step closer to completing the aeroshell and preparing it for the next carbon fibre layup. We'd also like to thank Total Machining Solutions Ltd for manufacturing the mould and their support that has made the production of our aeroshell possible. Every stage of the manufacturing process brings us closer to a race-ready vehicle.

There's something exciting about seeing a large print take shape on the robot. Every layer has to be planned carefully, every setup checked and double-checked, and every operation optimised to ensure we achieve the precision and quality our customers expect. This particular print (part) is set to run overnight, making the most of our printing capacity while the team gets some well-earned rest. By the time we arrive in the morning, thousands of lines of code and hours of printing will have transformed raw material into a component ready for machining. #LFAM #Robotic3DPrinting #hybridmanufacturing #solarracing #hybridmanufacturing
