Choosing a machining subcontractor depends first on the nature of your part. A part of revolution (shaft, ring, axle) calls for turning; a prismatic part with complex shapes calls for milling, ideally 3 or 5 axes. For shapes impossible to obtain by conventional cutting, EDM becomes necessary.
Not all workshops work the same materials. Aluminium and steel are almost universal; stainless steel, titanium and superalloys require more expertise and suitable tooling, common in aerospace- and medical-oriented workshops.
For a prototype or a one-off part, favour a responsive workshop with a design office. For medium or large batches, machine capacity and automation become decisive for the unit price.
Workshops in the area cover most material-removal machining processes.
The Lyon metropolitan area relies on a dense and diversified industrial fabric, inherited from a long-standing mechanical engineering tradition. The Chassieu and Corbas industrial zones, located east of Lyon, host workshops such as Ets Auberger and TVI Brandolini, the latter serving the rail, aerospace and defense sectors with 5-axis milling and gear-cutting capabilities. Décines-Charpieu, another industrial hub in eastern Lyon, is home to Établissement Verne, specializing in turning and milling.
In Villeurbanne, LISI Medical Fasteners reflects the strong presence of the medical device industry within the Lyon ecosystem, producing machined parts for the medical sector. Within Lyon itself, several workshops — Chambon SAS, Mécano Technique, Guillaume SARL, C.F.U.P, SEREMO and VCN Technologies — form a local network of mechanical subcontractors, offering turning, milling and Swiss machining (bar turning) for a variety of clients across the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
