CNC Machined Composite Tooling for Aerospace Teams
Aerospace composite teams in Portland need tooling that is accurate, stable, and ready for autoclave. We machine aluminum and Invar layup molds, cure tools, and caul plates to tight surface tolerances. AS9100D-aligned documentation available.
Tooling Materials
Aluminum, Invar, and HDB with full material traceability.
Surface Accuracy
Ra 32 µin or better on mold faces. CMM inspection available.
Tooling Docs
Dimensional reports and material certs for tooling qualification.
Pacific Northwest Precision Aerospace
Portland's aerospace footprint centers on Boeing's Portland facility machining complex titanium structural parts and Precision Castparts Corp (PCC), one of the world's largest producers of aerospace-grade investment castings, forgings, and fasteners. Daimler Trucks North America and Vigor Industrial add to the region's precision manufacturing bench, with Boeing's Puget Sound operations driving cross-border supply chain demand.
RivCut gives Portland aerospace teams AS9100-quality machining with full traceability and fixed lead times — structural titanium parts and castings-support machining without the queue.

CMM fixtures2 Tools. 12 Days. Cure-Stable Surfaces.
A Portland-area composites team needed Invar layup tools with precise contour surfaces, vacuum port locations, and thermal stability for autoclave cure cycles. Teams near companies like Boeing Portland trust this kind of precision and documentation rigor.
Every tool shipped with complete documentation:
- CMM dimensional report — contour and datum features verified
- Material cert with heat lot and ASTM A658 compliance
- Surface finish verification on tool surface
- Dimensional stability verification post stress-relief
What Portland Aerospace Buyers Should Know
Confirm your supplier's titanium machining expertise
Boeing Portland specializes in complex Ti-6Al-4V structural parts and expects sub-tier shops to match.
Ask about post-casting and post-forging machining from PCC feedstock
Precision Castparts supplies much of Portland's aerospace work and its castings require specialized approach strategies.
Verify your supplier can meet Boeing D1-4426 and D6-54551 quality requirements
Portland supply chain POs flow down Boeing-specific standards.
