STRUCTURES

Our team knows advanced materials inside and out. From complex geometries to truss structures to panels, we maximize materials to meet the performance objectives of precision programs. We can design your component from scratch, construct a rapid prototype, and test it, or just build to print from your specifications.

Possible Use Case

We can provide a cost-effective composite design with 20X less distortion than its aluminum counterpart. While you could reduce that distortion by another factor of 10X, it would be at substantially higher cost and may not be necessary for your final application. We can help you navigate this decision.  

Contract Ready Performance

  • Competitive DCAA-Approved Rates
  • AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 Certified
  • 5S+2 Factory
  • Robust Supply Chain
  • Significant Cold Storage and Supplies Onsite
