Aerospace Manufacturing

aerospace manufacturing

An aerospace manufacturer is a company or individual involved in manufacturing, designing, building, testing, selling, and maintaining aircraft, aerospace components, missiles, rockets, spacecraft, or commercial aircraft.

Aerospace is a high-technology industry requiring a trusted partner and reliable supply chain connection in contract manufacturing.

Aerospace Industry Needs

The next generation of aerospace manufacturing requires connections with a variety of diverse suppliers. The biggest names in the aerospace industry, including Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, understand the need for a dependable, streamlined process of many industries working together to produce the ideal product.

To become part of the aerospace industry, companies must attain several aerospace-specific certifications that attest to stringent quality management and direct supervision at every level of the manufacturing process.

It is the job of manufacturing companies to provide the systems and processes necessary to complete a variety of jobs to the standards of the aerospace industry.

Metal Additive Manufacturing

Metal additive manufacturing is a process that uses fine metal powders to create strong, complex components that are designed either by using a computer-aided design (CAD) program or by taking a 3D scan of the object.

The potential benefits of metal additive manufacturing in aerospace applications include:

  • significant cost and lead-time reductions
  • novel materials and unique design solutions
  • mass reduction of components through highly efficient and lightweight designs
  • consolidation of multiple components for performance enhancement

Manufacturing for Aerospace Industries

Finding trusted manufacturing can often prove challenging for aerospace industries. Aircraft parts are extraordinarily complex and need to be structurally sound and meet almost any industry’s highest quality assurance standards.

To reduce costs and overcome traditional manufacturing challenges, many aerospace companies are turning from conventional manufacturing processes to additive manufacturing to efficiently produce the complex parts they need.
