Built for Aerospace Teams
Flight-critical parts need a shop that takes documentation as seriously as machining.
AS9100D-Ready Documentation
Every aerospace order ships with a dimensional inspection report, material cert, and process records. Our paperwork follows AS9100D supplier requirements from day one.
Traceable Materials Only
We source aluminum, titanium, and Inconel with mill certs and heat numbers on every order. Your records are solid from raw material to finished part.
CMM Inspection on Every Order
We verify every critical dimension before shipping. CMM reports go with every part — so your receiving team isn't flying blind.
Fast Prototype Turnaround
Most prototype orders ship in 5 to 7 business days. Rush available for simpler parts — tell us your program deadline.
