Lead Assemblies and Lead Laminating, custom lead sheet and lead plate
Nuclead provides 100% fabricated assemblies and sub-assemblies. All metal and aluminum products and weldments are fabricated then assembled with your lead items for a complete assembly. Finished products can be plated, powder coated or painted to any specification and are certified. This means a complete product arrives on your dock, ready for additional sub-Assembly, testing or delivery to your customers.
Nuclead laminates lead sheet or machined lead items to any component per customer specifications. Whether fabricated by us or customer supplied, we laminate all your shielding needs.
CNC & 3D Machining
Nuclead can program and machine all your lead and metal needs to within .000050″. Our Quality Control department has CMM capabilities to QC your products accurately, with all equipment calibrated to NIST standards. Our programming department has the latest CAD-CAM Auto Assist software available today. Solid models can be e-mailed and posted for complex 3D machining.
Stamping, Sawing & Cutting
Nuclead will fabricate dies per your blueprints or specifications. Stamping is available on up to 1/8” thick stock with a capacity of 1/8” x 36” (l x w). We can saw, water-jet or CNC machine larger and thicker sizes as needed to any tolerance.

Nuclead provides the highest quality PSA (Pressure Sensitive Adhesive) to any sheet, plate or foil per your specifications.
Mold Fabrication, Castings and Pours
We machine molds specified by your blueprint or CAD/CAM file, then pour them with your choice of lead or alloy.
