CNC Machined Landing Gear Components for Aerospace Teams
Landing gear teams in Los Angeles 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.
The Aerospace Capital of the World
Los Angeles is the birthplace of American aerospace — SpaceX builds Falcon and Starship hardware in Hawthorne, Northrop Grumman assembles the B-21 Raider in Palmdale, Boeing operates satellite programs in El Segundo, and Relativity Space and Rocket Lab push next-gen launch vehicle manufacturing across the metro. JPL in Pasadena drives deep-space exploration machining demand.
RivCut gives LA aerospace teams instant quoting and fixed lead times with AS9100-grade quality — flight-critical parts from prototypes to production without the queue.

Safety critical6 Fittings. 10 Days. Zero Concessions.
A South Bay landing gear team needed trunnion fittings from 300M steel with tight bore concentricity, cadmium plating prep, and full dimensional verification. Teams near companies like SpaceX 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 Los Angeles Aerospace Buyers Should Know
Confirm your supplier's Nadcap accreditations for NDT, heat treat, and welding
SpaceX, Northrop, and Boeing in LA all require Nadcap callouts.
Ask about exotic alloy machining experience
LA aerospace programs frequently spec Inconel 718, Ti-6Al-4V, and A286 stainless.
Request lead time commitments in writing with liquidated-damage clauses
LA's aerospace cluster means your supplier is juggling multiple prime programs simultaneously.
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. Los Angeles's aerospace sector demands it.
Documentation-Ready
Dimensional reports, material certs, and process records ship with every order — no chasing paperwork after delivery.
Full Material Traceability
Every bar ships with mill certs and heat lot numbers. Full chain of custody from raw stock to finished part.
CMM Inspection, Every Part
NIST-traceable CMM verification on every critical dimension before anything ships. No sampling — we inspect every part.
5–7 Day Prototype Turnaround
Most first articles ship in under a week. Rush available for simpler geometries. Confirmed ship date at order.
