AEROSPACE / DEFENSE MANUFACTURING & MACHINING
AEROSPACE / DEFENSE MACHINING SERVICES
The aerospace and defense industries include satellites, airline manufacturers, orbital spacecraft, NASA, Military and more. They require precise parts that are either not generally available to the public or they are in need of a number of unique parts and pieces for equipment. This means the parts these industries require have wide ranging needs and specs. On one side there is a need for mass produced parts, while on the other, there are unique spacecraft and rockets that may need small runs of very specialized parts.
TYPICAL FIELDS OF APPLICATION
We assist our clients in the aerospace industry in a number of different ways.
Rapid Prototyping
Our Rapid Prototyping services are often used to create new aerospace and defense parts. These prototypes can be tested and changed as needed before being mass produced.
Highly Accurate Precision Cuts
Our machines can very precisely cut and finish pieces down to very small measurements. Exact measurements are often required in the aerospace and defense fields.
Small or One-Off Pieces
We can create small run prototyping or even single pieces for unique projects. This is often necessary in test craft, satellite testing or spacecraft.
BENEFITS FOR AEROSPACE & DEFENSE INDUSTRIES
Here are just a few benefits we offer the aerospace and defense industries.
Cut a Variety of Materials
Our techniques can be used to cut a wide variety of materials. This includes the specialized metals that the aerospace and defense industries utilize.
24/7 Production Runs
Because our machines are automated, they can work around the clock (24/7). We can rapidly create a large run of parts when needed.
Traceability
Many industries require traceability of outside processing and material. Since we are 2001:9008 ISO certified we would be happy to provide certifications upon request.
One Stop Shop (Protecting I.P.)
When it comes to our aerospace and defense partner’s, intellectual property is one of our primary responsibilities to protect. Whereas many shops will outsource specialty EDM and Precision CNC Machining projects, here at Micropulse West we handle it all in house.

Comparing EDM with conventional machining
Manufacturing engineers turn to EDM when milling, turning and grinding aren’t up to the task. It’s as if it’s a binary choice: if machining isn’t possible then chose EDM. The reality is more complex. There’s a significant middle ground where EDM and conventional processes go head-to-head. Yes, the wire EDM cutting rate is lower than…

Thin walls, tight internal radii, tapers, deep blind pockets in hard materials. Sometimes it seems designers are just trying to find the limits of what manufacturing can do. It’s as if they’re hoping manufacturing will say, “Can’t be done.” The thing is, if manufacturing only has access to conventional machining processes they’re probably right. Some…

How accurate is wire EDM?
It’s only natural that designers and toolmakers should ask about the precision of EDM. Knowing the capabilities of the process informs design decisions and influences costs. Whether the parts being made are surgical instruments, extrusion dies, or aerospace components, it’s important to know what tolerances are achievable. Unfortunately, there’s no simple answer. While accuracies of…
