CNC Machined Gaming & VR Hardware for Consumer Electronics Teams
Gaming and VR teams in Chattanooga need hardware that is lightweight, ergonomic, and cosmetically premium. We machine aluminum and magnesium VR headset frames, controller housings, and sim racing components to ±0.001" with anodized and bead-blast finishes.
Lightweight Materials
Aluminum 7075 and magnesium AZ31 for weight-critical gaming hardware.
Ergonomic Precision
±0.0005" on lens mounts, button bores, and hinge pivots.
Cosmetic Finish
Anodize, bead-blast, and brushed finishes for consumer-grade appearance.
Gig City's Ultrafast Internet and Manufacturing Base Fuel Consumer Electronics
Chattanooga's consumer electronics scene is supercharged by the city's municipal gigabit internet — EPB's fiber network, the nation's first citywide 10-gig service, makes Chattanooga a testing ground for connected consumer devices and smart-home products. Volkswagen's Chattanooga assembly plant drives in-vehicle consumer electronics demand, while Wacker Chemical develops materials for consumer device components. The Enterprise Center and INCubator support consumer hardware startups, and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga's SimCenter advances simulation tools applicable to consumer device design and testing.
RivCut serves Chattanooga consumer electronics companies with CNC-machined smart-home housings, automotive electronics enclosures, and IoT prototypes — with the cosmetic finishes and tolerances your connected consumer products require.
