Rapid Manufacturing on Demand

Our reliable rapid prototyping services have served many customers representing different phases of the aerospace industry. Consequently, we have adjusted our systems to ensure that any order, regardless of volume, is produced and delivered at the right time for each customer. Our production systems can produce parts in small, batch, or large-scale quantities, and the most important aspect is that our quality standards remain high. The product design stage at our company is reduced since we only use the right tools that can quickly capture all the relevant product details. We can quickly create aerospace part prototypes and show them to customers who may then decide if certain changes must be made to the original design.

Aerospace Machining Materials

From prototyping to full production runs. Our wide range of CNC lathes and turning centers will allow you to produce highly accurate, high quality parts to meet even your most stringent requirements.

Quality

Quality is an important aspect that must be achieved in any aerospace part. Our ISO 9001:2015 certification means that our production lines feature advanced technologies that give exact manufacturing precision and accuracy. We conduct routine inspections on all aerospace parts prototypes we manufacture. These inspections are conducted during actual manufacturing sessions as well as on aerospace parts at the end of a production line. We also conduct numerous quality checks and testing that all the parts we produce must satisfy. The tests are approved by regulating aviation authorities and focus on ensuring that parts have the right structural strength, numerical specifications, and performance. Through this rigorous testing and inspection process, any defective component is identified and placed in isolation.

FAQ

CNC, or computer numerical control machining, is a subtractive manufacturing method that leverages a combination of computerized controls and machine tools to remove layers from a solid block of material. The desired cuts in the metal are programmed according to corresponding tools and machinery, which perform the machining task in an automated fashion.

CNC machining starts with a computer, on which designers prepare a part using CAD (Computer-aided Design) software. This digital part is then converted into a format that can be recognized by a CNC machine.

Instructions are sent to the CNC machine in the form of  “G-Code” after which the machine can start cutting.

Most CNC machines have a “worktable” and work holding device to keep a block of material — known as the “workpiece” — in place. The worktable may or may not move, depending on the style of the machine.

When machining starts, the cutting tool makes contact with the workpiece, cutting away layers of material. The tool and/or workpiece is moved and/or rapidly rotated according to the G-Code instructions so that cuts are made in exactly the right places until the part is finished.
