Airframe structures, engine components, landing gear parts, avionics enclosures, and UAV structures. 7075-T6, 2024-T3 aluminum, Ti-6Al-4V, Inconel 718, and 17-4 PH stainless. 3/4/5-axis milling and turning. FAIR documentation, CMM inspection, surface treatment coordination, worldwide shipping.
Aerospace machining demands more than tight tolerances. It requires an understanding of AMS material specifications, the discipline to document every dimension, the experience to machine nickel alloys without work-hardening, and the supply chain management to coordinate surface treatments and NDT through qualified partners. We've been doing this for aerospace customers — from UAV startups to Airbus and Boeing supply chain programs.
We've machined components at Tier 2 and Tier 3 levels for Airbus and Boeing programs. We understand the documentation, traceability, and quality expectations of commercial aerospace — from A350 fuselage brackets to 787 interior monuments.
Inconel 718, Ti-6Al-4V, 17-4 PH H900, 300M steel — the materials that define aerospace manufacturing. We have the tooling, fixturing, coolant systems, and programming experience to machine these alloys efficiently and accurately.
Alodine, anodize, passivation, zinc-nickel, cadmium plating, shot peening, and NDT (PT/MT) — all managed through qualified partners. You get finished, treated, inspected parts, not a half-finished project you need to coordinate yourself.
Prototype, small-batch, and production quantities — we handle the full range from concept validation to recurring production orders.
Brackets, ribs, spars, fittings, longerons, and bulkhead segments. 7075-T6 and 2024-T3 aluminum for high strength-to-weight, Ti-6Al-4V for hot sections and critical load paths. Thin-wall pocketing typical — we hold ±0.05mm on floor thickness across pocketed structural parts.
Turbine housings, impellers, diffuser plates, fuel system valve bodies, and heat exchanger end plates. Inconel 718, 17-4 PH, and titanium for high-temperature and high-stress environments. Demands rigid fixturing, conservative feeds, and experience with nickel alloy work-hardening.
Actuator housings, trunnion pins, torque link arms, and brake housing bodies. 300M and 4340 high-strength steel, 7075-T73 aluminum. Large prismatic parts requiring 4-axis and 5-axis machining, post-machining shot peening coordination, and cadmium or zinc-nickel plating management.
LRU (Line Replaceable Unit) chassis, heatsink bases, connector panels, and waveguide bodies. 6061-T6 aluminum with chromate conversion coating (Alodine), tight flatness for EMI gasket sealing, and threaded inserts for avionics rack mounting. 5-axis for single-setup machining of multi-face enclosures.
Bellcranks, pushrod ends, hinge blocks, and actuator mounting platforms. 7075-T73 for corrosion resistance, 17-4 PH for high-load joints. 100% dimensional inspection on all bearing and bushing bore diameters is standard.
Motor mounts, gimbal housings, antenna brackets, and quick-release payload adapters. 6061-T6 and 7075-T6 aluminum with weight-reduction pocketing, 3K and 6K carbon fiber composite tooling plates. Fast turnaround for rapid iteration — 3–7 day prototypes standard.
Every material lot comes with a mill test certificate verifying chemical composition and mechanical properties to the applicable AMS specification.
The go-to aerospace aluminum. T6 temper delivers strength comparable to mild steel at 1/3 the weight. T73 offers superior stress corrosion cracking resistance — specified for thick-section structural parts. Machines well with sharp carbide tools. T73 temper reduces residual stress and improves dimensional stability after machining.
Higher strength than 6061 with excellent fatigue resistance. The traditional airframe skin and rib material. Copper-alloyed — lower corrosion resistance than 7075, typically requires alodine or anodize. Good machinability with proper chip control.
The aerospace titanium. Tensile strength 900+ MPa at half the weight of steel and good to 400°C. Used for engine mounts, structural brackets in hot zones, and landing gear components. Low thermal conductivity means heat stays in the cut — requires conservative speeds (50–60 SFM), sharp carbide, and flood coolant. Not a material for shops without titanium experience.
Precipitation-hardening stainless. H900 condition reaches 1,300+ MPa — used for high-strength fasteners, actuator components, and structural fittings. Machines well in Condition A (solution-treated), then hardened. Excellent combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability.
Nickel-based superalloy for turbine and exhaust components. Maintains strength to 700°C. Work-hardens aggressively — requires rigid setup, low cutting speeds (30–50 SFM), positive rake carbide, and high-pressure coolant. Tool life is short. Cycle times are long. This is the deep end of CNC machining and we price it accordingly.
General-purpose aerospace aluminum for non-structural and secondary structure. Avionics enclosures, brackets, heatsinks, and tooling. Excellent machinability, good corrosion resistance, Type II and Type III anodize compatible. Cheaper than 7075 — right for parts that don't need ultimate strength.
You need parts that meet the print AND paperwork that passes the audit. We deliver both.
Audited quality management system. Full material traceability and Certificate of Conformance with every shipment. Our documentation package is structured to support AS9100-style requirements even though we are not AS9100 certified.

We review every feature for manufacturability in the specified alloy. For complex parts, we plan the operation sequence — which features on which setup, how we hold datum control, where we leave stock for post-treatment grinding or honing.
Parts machined, CMM inspected, sent to qualified partners for surface treatment and NDT, then re-inspected to verify no distortion from treatment. Documentation compiled throughout.
