Requirements

What this industry demands.

In the aerospace sector, several manufacturing challenges coincide: difficult-to-machine materials, thin-walled geometries, tight geometric tolerances (GD), and strict documentation requirements that ensure full traceability for every process step. Our combination of 5-axis machining, in-process metrology, and ISO 9001 processes is designed specifically for these demands.

Strengths

Our strengths here

In-house metrology

Laser trackers and gantry-type CMMs deliver inspection results without reliance on external service providers.

Material expertise

Titanium and nickel-base alloys are standard operations for us—cutting parameters are documented and fully reproducible.

Single setup

Simultaneous 5-axis machining keeps tolerance stacks to a minimum and prevents distortion caused by re-clamping.

Traceable processes

ISO 9001 certified, providing full traceability across batches, production orders, and inspection equipment.
