CAMS is a privately owned firm specialising in reverse engineering and remanufacture of hard to obtain classic, experimental and modern aircraft parts and engines.
Owner and Engineer Tony Wytenburg has decades of experience in CAD/CAM and practical machining in aviation engineering firms. Originally working on heavy aircraft maintenance, Tony and CAMS has specialised since 2004 in the reverse engineering of aircraft parts and engines.
CAMS is located on the Omaka Airfield in Marlborough New Zealand, alongside the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre and Airpark. The CAMS team are in face to face contact with aircraft owners, restorers and maintenance engineers every day. Combined with their decades of maintenance experience on many different types of aircraft they design and manufacture with an aircraft engineer’s eye to detail and know exactly what is needed when it comes time to incorporate the parts into the customers’ aircraft.
The CAMS team are not only exceptional craftsmen engineers but enthusiasts for their work as well. Nothing gives them more satisfaction than to start with a corroded, badly damaged part, figure out how it worked, redesign it then the critical bit - figuring out how to re-manufacture it. Then down to the workshop and watch as a new part – both functional and beautiful - emerges from a billet of raw metal. The end of the day comes as a disappointment, the end of the week as an excuse to come into the workshop on the weekend.
