Aerospace manufacturing operates under unforgiving conditions. From jet engines to structural assemblies, components must perform flawlessly in environments where failure can’t be tolerated.

The High Stakes of Aerospace Precision

A misaligned connector can ground an aircraft during testing. A fastener with dimensional variation could compromise safety mid-flight. Every part must not only meet drawings — it must do so consistently, across thousands of pieces.

Materials and Challenges

Aerospace relies on tough materials like titanium, stainless steel, and Inconel. These alloys withstand heat and stress but are notoriously difficult to machine. Without the right processes, deflection, tool wear, and scrap rates climb.

Why Swiss Machining Works

• Stable support: Guide bushings keep long, slender fasteners rigid during cutting.
• Complex geometries in one setup: Grooving, slotting, and cross-drilling without multiple fixtures.
• Repeatability at scale: First part to last part, consistency is maintained across long runs.
