Built for Defense Teams

Your program needs a machining partner who treats documentation, quality, and confidentiality as seriously as tolerances.

Mil-Spec Material Sourcing

We machine 7075-T6, 6061-T6, 4340 steel, 17-4 PH stainless, and titanium 6Al-4V. Every order ships with certified mill certs and heat lot traceability.

CMM Inspection on Every Order

Every critical dimension is verified before shipping. Your receiving team gets a documented inspection report — no guessing, no shortcuts.

Confidential Project Handling

ITAR-aware procedures, restricted data access, and secure file transfers. NDAs signed on request. Your technical data stays protected.

Fast Response, No Runaround

Upload your file and get a response fast. Defense prototypes in 3–7 days. We communicate directly — no layers of sales reps between you and the shop floor.

From CAD File to Shipped Parts

Three steps. No runaround. Built for defense program timelines.

Step 1

Upload Your CAD File

Send your STEP or IGES file. Select material, quantity, and finish. We review for manufacturability and respond fast.

Step 2

We Machine & Inspect

Your parts run on our CNC mills and lathes. Every order gets CMM inspection. We verify every critical dimension before anything ships.

Step 3

Ship with Full Documentation

Parts ship with dimensional inspection reports, material certs, and MIL-STD-ready paperwork. Everything your quality team needs for first article review.
