Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Ethereal Machines is a precision CNC manufacturing company based in Bengaluru, India. It machines parts to customer drawings on its own 3-axis and 5-axis floor, working in aluminium, titanium, Inconel, engineering steels, 316L stainless and Ti-6Al-4V ELI, with stated tolerances as low as ±0.005 mm validated per part family under production conditions. The company operates a single quality system across three capability areas: 5-axis machining, production-volume 3-axis machining, and inspection and finishing, and holds AS9100D, ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 27001 certifications.

Alongside contract machining, the company designs and builds its own machine platforms — branded Aura (3-axis, engineered for production) and Nimbus (5-axis) — with toolpath, fixturing and kinematics described as its own intellectual property, developed by the same team that runs the shop floor. Announced Series B plans include a new manufacturing facility near Bengaluru, an indigenous CNC controller described as India's first, and an AI-driven software platform.

Industries served include aerospace (airframe brackets, propulsion components, avionics housings, drone and space-tech parts), electronics (RF and microwave housings, heat sinks, instrument enclosures), healthcare (surgical instruments, implant geometries, diagnostic housings), semiconductor (wafer-handling components, vacuum-chamber hardware, precision fixtures) and energy (turbine and pump components).
