How we helped Nasa. The problems, challenges, solutions, and success.
NASA contacted us to see if we could help in the machining of a tricky composite material that they use for research and development. NASA had tried to machine the composite using multiple techniques with no success.
Because of the very abrasive nature of the material used in this project, and the special geometry of the machining that NASA required, it took a very difficult machining method to achieve the best results.
JMJ Profile engineered a unique method to machine the tricky composite material accurately and to the high quality standard that NASA was looking for to complete the project.
NASA was able to receive the parts they needed and was able to complete and continue it’s research and development in a time sensitive manner and complete their research. A copy of their thank you letter follows below.

Bombardier
How we helped Bombardier. The problems, challenges, solutions, and success.
Bombardier needed to keep their rail-cars fully operational at all times on their River-line trains, in New Jersey. Safety covers on critical components of the cars during operation would be damaged by passengers or vandals causing the car to go into service for repair.
The Problem:
For the price of less than a can of soda, an entire train was kept off line. If the covers could not be replaced in a timely manner the rail car would stay out of service until the damaged parts were replaced.
Bombardier’s big problem was that the lead time in getting the parts from Germany where the rail cars were manufactured could take weeks or prove too costly to make on a short notice. So Bombardier reached out to JMJ Profile, as a local resource, for help in sourcing the material and making the parts required to replace the broken component.
The part required quite a bit of forensics, where JMJ needed to identify the material that the part was made of, and we could only do this from a sample provided by the customer. No other specifications were provided.
The Challenge:
JMJ contacted our supplier of material and through some testing with them discovered the material and was able to source and machine the parts quickly and less expensively than having to get them from Germany or go offshore.
The Solution:
We were able to be build the badly needed part correctly, quickly, and in the most cost effective way, to help keep the trains running for Bombardier.
