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.

Real Defense Parts. Real Results.
See how we solve machining challenges for defense programs.
Optical Sensor Mount — 17-4 PH Stainless Steel
Single-setup 4-axis machining achieved ±0.0002" concentricity on coaxial bores for an electro-optical targeting system gimbal interface.
Ruggedized Comms Housing — Inconel 718
Deep-pocket machining in Inconel 718 with 0.060" heat dissipation fin walls. High-pressure coolant strategy eliminated tool breakage. Zero scrap on 6-piece lot.
Missile Fin Actuator Bracket — Ti 6Al-4V
Thin-web machining between actuator bores with custom soft jaws. Bore spacing ±0.0003". Smooth actuator linkage operation confirmed.
Night Vision Goggle Housing — 6061-T6
Three lens bores coaxial within 0.0002". Internal light baffles at 0.030" wall. 91 grams — 4g under head-mounted weight limit.
Armored Vehicle Periscope Mount — 17-4 PH
Machined hardened 17-4 PH (H1025) with CBN tooling. Zero dimensional shift after MIL-STD-810H 500g blast shock test.
Encrypted Radio Chassis — EMI Shielding
23 RF compartment walls, continuous gasket channel, SMA connector bores. >80 dB shielding at 18 GHz. Zero rework items.
