Aerospace Manufacturing FAQ
Are you AS9100 certified?
Our quality management system is built to be fully compliant with the principles and rigorous requirements of the AS9100 standard, ensuring the highest level of process control and documentation for our aerospace clients.
How do you handle material traceability?
We have a strict material control process. We source all aerospace materials from certified suppliers and provide full Mill Test Reports (MTRs) that trace the material lot back to its origin. This documentation is included with every shipment.
Can you provide First Article Inspection (FAI) Reports?
Yes, we provide comprehensive FAI reports compliant with the AS9102 standard. Our quality team documents every dimension, feature, and note on your drawing to provide formal verification that the first production part is 100% compliant.
What is your experience with machining titanium and Inconel?
We have extensive experience with these challenging materials. We utilize specialized tooling, rigid machines, and optimized cutting strategies (e.g., high-pressure coolant, trochoidal milling) to successfully machine titanium and other superalloys while maintaining tool life and part integrity.
How do you ensure the confidentiality of my proprietary designs?
We take intellectual property protection very seriously. We are always prepared to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before reviewing any technical data, and our internal data systems are secure to protect your sensitive information.
What is your typical lead time for aerospace prototypes?
Lead times depend on complexity and material, but for moderately complex aluminum or stainless steel prototypes, we can often deliver parts in as little as 2-3 weeks.
Do you manage outside processes like heat treatment and NDT?
Yes, we manage a network of certified and trusted partners for specialized processes like heat treatment, non-destructive testing (NDT), and specific plating requirements, providing you with a single, accountable point of contact.
What tolerances can you hold on complex 5-axis parts?
We can consistently hold positional tolerances of ±0.025mm (±0.001″) on complex, multi-sided parts. Tighter tolerances are often achievable depending on the specific geometry and material.
How do you control quality during a production run?
After the FAI is approved, we use statistical process control (SPC) methods, with regular in-process inspections at set intervals to monitor critical dimensions and ensure the entire production run remains within specification.
What information do you need for an accurate quote?
For the most accurate quote, please provide a complete technical data package, including 3D CAD models (STEP), 2D drawings with all dimensions and tolerances, material specifications, finishing requirements, and the desired quantity.
