The Many Aspects of Aerospace Manufacturing

To meet the stringent requirements of aerospace and defense applications, it’s important to have experience and expertise across two broad categories: materials used and manufacturing processes implemented. Let’s dive in.

In-House Production Materials

At Re:Build Cutting Dynamics, we work with a variety of advanced materials, each offering unique properties suited to different aspects of fabrication.

  • Thermoplastics — Known for their versatility and ease of fabrication, thermoplastics are used in a range of applications from interior components to structural elements. Their lightweight nature and high strength-to-weight ratio make them ideal for aerospace use.
  • Titanium — Offering unmatched strength, lightness, and resistance to extreme temperatures, titanium is indispensable in high-stress aerospace components.
  • Aircraft-Grade Aluminum — This material is celebrated for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance, making it a staple in aircraft structures and components.
  • Stainless Steel — Renowned for its corrosion resistance and strength, stainless steel is crucial in parts that require durability and reliability under harsh conditions.
  • Carbon Steel — With its high strength and affordability, carbon steel is utilized in applications where robustness is critical.
Manufacturing Processes

Experience with a range of materials is just one element of a high-quality aerospace manufacturing partner. At Re:Build Cutting Dynamics, our comprehensive suite of manufacturing processes ensures that we can meet the varied and complex demands of aerospace fabrication:

  • Hydroforming — This process allows us to shape metals with high precision and strength, producing complex, lightweight components that are essential in aerospace manufacturing.
  • Hot Forming Titanium — This process enhances precision by eliminating springback, resulting in increased accuracy. It also facilitates the formation of complex shapes with tighter radii, enabling the creation of intricate designs.
  • Manufacturing Engineering and Tooling Development — We provide end-to-end solutions, from initial concept through to final production, ensuring that tooling and processes are optimized for efficiency and quality.
  • DFM Feedback on Customer Designs — Design for Manufacturability (DFM) is integral to our approach. We collaborate closely with our clients to refine designs, enhancing manufacturability and reducing costs without compromising quality.
  • Manufacture-to-Print Components — We excel in producing components exactly to customer specifications, ensuring consistency and precision in every part we fabricate.
  • Precision Machining — With advanced 5-axis and 9-axis capabilities, our team of experienced technicians deliver precision-machined components that meet the stringent requirements of the aerospace industry.
  • Finishing Services — Our capabilities extend beyond mere fabrication. We provide complete finishing services, ensuring that every part meets stringent aerospace standards. This includes leveraging extensive relationships with local, accredited heat treating, welding, conversion coating, painting and NDT suppliers to supply rapid turnaround times.
  • Blanking, Forming, and Assembly — These processes are fundamental to shaping and assembling parts with high accuracy, ensuring that every component fits and functions perfectly.
  • MIL-SPEC Kitting — For defense applications, we offer kitting services that adhere to military specifications, ensuring that all parts and components are packaged and delivered to meet stringent requirements.
