Parts for aerospace
and defense.
Housings, brackets, shafts, and fittings for aircraft assemblies, ground systems, and test equipment.
Aerospace
Lightweight housings, mounting brackets, fittings, and mechanical components. Machining planned around complex geometry and critical interfaces.
Aerospace applications
Defense
Enclosures, precision shafts, bushings, and structural hardware. Controlled processes and clear documentation from setup through shipment.
Defense applicationsPrototype to
repeat production.
We use repeatable fixtures, robotic part handling, and scheduled dimensional checks for recurring orders. The first article establishes the setup before the production run.

Inspection before,
during, and after machining.
We plan checks against the drawing, verify the first piece, and record dimensions throughout the run.
- Before production
- Identify critical features, choose measurement methods, and verify first-piece results.
- During the run
- Scheduled dimensional checks against the same revision-controlled requirements.
- Before shipment
- Final verification, part identification, and the agreed documentation package.
How your part
gets made.
We review the drawing, verify the setup, machine the parts, and prepare the shipment.
Explore our process
01Review & plan
We review the drawing revision, material, quantity, critical features, and delivery needs. Questions about geometry or manufacturability are resolved before programming.
02Prove the first article
Toolpaths, fixtures, and inspection methods are planned together. First-article verification confirms the setup and records the results before production moves forward.
03Machine & monitor
Operators follow the current setup instructions and check specified dimensions during the run. The results are recorded against the job.
04Finish & deliver
Coatings, surface treatments, and marking are coordinated with specialist suppliers. Final inspection, traceable records, and protective packaging complete the shipment.
