Of every city in this region, McKinney is the one we're effectively a local shop for. Van Alstyne sits just up US-75, which makes Rigid Concepts the nearest full-capability, 5-axis-equipped machine shop to McKinney's fast-growing manufacturing base. McKinney's economy spans aerospace and defense ties (the city's aviation and corporate-aviation presence is well known), general industrial manufacturing, and a steady stream of product and equipment OEMs — and all of it has a precision machine shop practically next door.
Your nearest precision machine shop
Proximity changes how a program runs. When your machine shop is minutes away, drawings move faster, first articles get reviewed in person, engineering changes get resolved over a short drive instead of a long shipment, and source inspection is simple to schedule. McKinney engineers get the responsiveness of a local shop with the capability — simultaneous 5-axis, exotic alloys, full inspection and traceability — that usually means shipping parts hours away.
