About Us

Meet Wayne Bouchier

Acquired Precision Consultancy was founded by Wayne Bouchier, a CNC programmer and machine shop owner with more than 20 years in precision engineering. Over his career Wayne has machined parts for top-tier Formula One teams and aerospace and defence companies, and worked across the subcontract sector, from one-off prototypes to fully automated production.

For nine years Wayne ran his own business, Maztech Precision Engineering in Letchworth. Owning a machine shop meant wearing every hat: programming, setting, quoting, buying machines, recruiting and keeping the spindles turning. He knows first-hand what it costs when a machine sits idle or a key programmer leaves.

In 2023 he set up Acquired Precision Consultancy to put that experience to work for other manufacturers. Today we help machine shops across the UK with hyperMILL and Fusion 360 programming and post processors, CNC control training, automation, tooling and fixturing, machine investments and premises moves.

From Blank Canvas to Lights-Out Production

Our favourite projects start with a new machine and nobody free to run it. When Pulse Engineering ordered two fully automated GF Machining Solutions 5-axis machines, Wayne planned the work with their MD, sourced the tooling and workholding, designed and machined grid plates, programmed the first jobs in hyperMILL and proved them out, leaving both machines ready to run 24/7 on System 3R pallets.

When SA Manufacturing took delivery of a Matsuura MX-520 PC4 four weeks before their new programmer started, we chose the workholding, built a complete tooling library, programmed and proved out six production parts, wrote setup sheets and trained an existing machinist. On its first night the machine ran every pallet unattended.

We believe training is an investment, not a cost. A new machine won’t fix a skills gap, but a confident, well-trained operator, setter or programmer will. That’s why every project we deliver ends with your team able to carry it forward.
