CNC Machined Satellite Components for Space Teams
Space teams in Seattle need satellite components that are lightweight, precise, and low-outgassing. We machine aluminum, titanium, and Invar satellite brackets and mounts to ±0.001". AS9100D-aligned documentation on every order.
Space-Grade Materials
Aluminum, titanium, and Invar with full mill cert traceability.
Structural Precision
±0.001" on critical alignment interfaces. CMM inspection.
Space Program Docs
Inspection reports and traceability for space program records.
Where Commercial Aviation Begins
Seattle's aerospace ecosystem revolves around Boeing's Everett widebody assembly plant — the largest building in the world — producing 747, 767, 777, and 787 aircraft. Boeing's Renton facility builds the 737 MAX. Blue Origin develops orbital launch vehicles in nearby Kent, and hundreds of Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers machine aerostructures, engine components, and interior fittings across Puget Sound.
RivCut serves Puget Sound aerospace teams with AS9100D-aligned machining, instant quoting, and fixed lead times — flight-critical parts that clear Boeing receiving inspection the first time.

Precision mounts16 Brackets. 8 Days. Zero NCRs.
A Puget Sound satellite team needed deployment brackets for a LEO constellation build — tight alignment holes for hinge pins, lightweight pocketing to hit mass targets, and hard-coat anodize for thermal cycling in orbit. Teams near companies like Boeing Commercial Airplanes trust this kind of precision and documentation rigor.
Every part shipped with a complete documentation package:
- CMM dimensional report — every GD&T callout verified
- Mill cert with heat lot number and ASTM B209 compliance
- First Article Inspection report per AS9102
- Hard anodize process cert with thickness verification
What Seattle Aerospace Buyers Should Know
Ensure your supplier is Boeing-approved or can obtain D1-4426 quality system approval
Puget Sound receiving docks reject unapproved source shipments.
Ask about titanium and CRES machining experience
Boeing 787 and 777X programs specify Ti-6Al-4V and corrosion-resistant steel extensively.
Request packaging per Boeing D6-54551 transportation and handling standards
damaged parts at receiving generate costly rejections and delays.
When Your Local Shop Can't Keep Up
