CNC Machined Landing Gear Components for Aerospace Teams
Landing gear teams in Boston need parts that are strong, precise, and traceable. We machine 4340 steel, 300M, and titanium 6Al-4V landing gear components with tight bore tolerances. CMM inspection and AS9100D-aligned documentation on every order.
High-Strength Alloys
4340 steel, 300M, and titanium 6Al-4V with mill certs and traceability.
Bore Precision
±0.0005" on critical pin bores and sealing surfaces. CMM verified.
AS9100D Docs
Inspection reports and traceability for landing gear program records.
Where Aerospace Innovation Meets Heritage Engine Manufacturing
Boston's aerospace cluster stretches from GE Aerospace's (formerly GE Aviation) jet engine facility in Lynn to Raytheon's (RTX) advanced sensors division in Andover, with Pratt & Whitney's Connecticut operations just hours south. MIT's AeroAstro department and Draper Laboratory drive next-generation propulsion, autonomy, and satellite research that feeds regional machining demand.
RivCut gives Boston-area aerospace teams instant quoting and AS9100-quality machining with full traceability — engine components, sensor housings, and structural parts on fixed lead times.

What Boston Aerospace Teams Usually Order
| Typical quantity | 5–25 parts for validation builds or first articles; 25–100 parts for low-rate production runs |
|---|---|
| Common materials | Titanium Ti-6Al-4V, Aluminum 7075-T6, 17-4 PH Stainless Steel |
| Key requirement | AS9100D-backed full cert package including material traceability, FAI report, and ITAR compliance confirmation |
| Typical lead time | 7–15 business days depending on material and feature complexity |
| Who orders | Mechanical engineer or supply chain manager at a defense prime or aerospace startup, often managing multiple vendors across a fast-moving program |

Safety critical6 Fittings. 10 Days. Zero Concessions.
A Cambridge landing gear team needed trunnion fittings from 300M steel with tight bore concentricity, cadmium plating prep, and full dimensional verification. Teams near companies like GE Aerospace (Lynn) trust this kind of precision and documentation rigor.
Every part shipped with complete documentation:
- CMM dimensional report — bore concentricity and true position verified
- Material cert with heat lot and AMS 6417 compliance
- First Article Inspection per AS9102
- Pre-plate surface preparation verification
What Boston Aerospace Buyers Should Know
Verify Nadcap heat treat and NDT accreditations
GE Aerospace Lynn and Raytheon Andover both require Nadcap callouts on purchase orders.
Ask about classified facility clearance if your program involves Hanscom AFB or Lincoln Laboratory work
many Boston-area contracts require facility clearance.
Confirm your supplier can machine Inconel 718 and Waspaloy
GE Lynn engine programs spec nickel superalloys extensively.
When Your Local Shop Can't Keep Up
