Why Precision Matters in Aerospace Fabrication
Precision and quality are non-negotiable in aerospace manufacturing. Even the smallest error can lead to serious consequences in an aircraft. Aerospace parts must consistently meet very strict tolerances to ensure safety and performance. Tight tolerances, complex designs, and critical safety requirements mean there is no room for error. Every component undergoes thorough inspection to comply with industry standards and avoid any failures. In short, precision matters because lives and mission success depend on each part performing perfectly. By maintaining accuracy in fabrication, we help ensure that your parts will fit and function as intended in demanding aerospace applications.

Aerospace Materials We Work With
Each material comes with full traceability and certifications. For example, aluminum and titanium stock
are accompanied by material certificates verifying their grade and treatment, which is critical for
aerospace compliance. We help you select the appropriate alloy to balance strength, weight, and
reliability in your aerospace parts.
Material selection is crucial in aerospace projects. We work with metals that offer the balance of
strength, weight, and durability for your application. The most common materials we use include:
Aluminum Alloys
Aluminum is the widely used metal in aircraft because it is very light yet strong. It is also easy to form and has natural corrosion resistance. We fabricate many components from aerospace-grade aluminum alloys for things like panels, brackets, and drone frames. Using aluminum helps keep aircraft and UAV parts lightweight while maintaining structural integrity.
Titanium
Titanium is considered a gold-standard aerospace material due to its strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion and heat. It’s heavier than aluminum, but much stronger and can withstand higher temperatures. We use titanium for critical parts that need extra strength or must operate in high-temperature areas (for example, engine brackets or fasteners). Titanium components help reduce weight while surviving extreme conditions in flight.
Stainless Steel
Stainless steels are used when parts require very high strength, hardness, or wear resistance. Certain stainless alloys perform well even at elevated temperatures and resist corrosion. We use stainless steel for hardware, engine clamps, landing gear components, or tooling that must be especially robust. Although heavier than aluminum, stainless steel provides durability and stability for specific aerospace needs.
Specialty Alloys
We can also work with other specialty metals and alloys as needed. This includes high-temperature nickel alloys (e.g. Inconel), copper alloys, or advanced materials required for aircraft and space applications. These materials are chosen for unique properties like extreme heat resistance or magnetic permeability. Our team will recommend the right material for your project based on the performance requirements.
Electronics & Telecommunications
We fabricate welded enclosures, chassis, and racks for electronic equipment and telecom cabinets. Precise welding is important here to fit delicate electronic components and maintain shielding (EMI/RFI) integrity.
