Aerospace Structural Bracket Machining for Flight Teams
Aerospace structural teams in Austin need brackets and fittings that are strong, light, and traceable. We machine aluminum 7075, titanium 6Al-4V, and 4340 steel to ±0.001". CMM inspection and AS9100D-aligned docs on every order.
Flight-Critical Materials
Al 7075-T6, titanium 6Al-4V, and 4340 steel with mill certs.
Structural Tolerances
±0.001" on holes and mating surfaces. CMM verified.
AS9100D Docs
Inspection reports and material certs for program documentation.
Space Coast Texas — Rockets and Avionics
Austin's aerospace presence is surging — Firefly Aerospace designs and builds launch vehicles in Cedar Park, Joby Aviation develops eVTOL air taxi systems in the metro, and a growing cluster of satellite, avionics, and space electronics companies leverage Austin's deep tech talent pool. The University of Texas Aerospace Engineering program feeds the local supply chain.
RivCut gives Austin aerospace teams instant quoting and AS9100-quality machining — launch vehicle hardware, avionics housings, and structural fittings on fixed lead times.

- First Article Inspection per AS9102
- Chemical conversion coating process cert
What Austin Aerospace Buyers Should Know
Confirm your supplier's experience with launch vehicle hardware
Firefly's Alpha and MLV programs require rocket-grade materials and AS9100D-aligned documentation.
Ask about rapid prototyping turnaround
Austin's aerospace startups iterate fast and need machine shops that can turn first articles in days, not weeks.
Verify your shop can handle eVTOL-specific materials including carbon fiber machining
Titanium structural fittings, and electric motor housings for joby and similar programs.
When Your Local Shop Can't Keep Up
When a prime surges volume, local shops push you back in the queue. We give you fixed lead times, instant quoting, and aerospace-grade documentation — every time. Austin's aerospace sector demands it.
