How a first article runs

From drawing to boxed part in nine working days

Day 1: an engineer reads your drawing. We flag tight tolerances and costly features before you commit, then confirm price and date.

Day 2: program and fixture. Tool paths are simulated against your model, so the first chip cut is a good one.

Days 3–8: cut, then measure everything. In-process probing on the machine, a full CMM check after, and a ballooned AS9102 report.

Day 9: packed for flight hardware. Bagged, labelled to your part number and shipped with certs and report on day nine.
