Critical Challenges in Aerospace Manufacturing

Aerospace parts manufacturing hides costly traps. CNC machining wastes 35% of pricey metals like titanium. 3D printed prototypes often fail certifications, delaying projects for months.

OEMs change designs constantly. Yesterday’s injection-molded cabin part needs new molds today. Rocket engine brackets require urgent redesigns. Most shops can’t handle both.

The worst pain? Using separate factories for metal, plastic, and composite parts manufacturing. Slight size mismatches cause assembly failures. One mistake can mean $2M recalls.

Materials For the Aviation Components

Aerospace-grade metal and polymer materials for CNC and molding

First Mold utilizes aerospace-grade metals, polymers, and composites for CNC machining, injection molding, and 3D printing. We manufacture flight-critical components from titanium engine mounts to fireproof cabin systems. Rapid prototypes employ ULTEM milling-grade plastics, guaranteeing prototype specs match production requirements. Material transformations are precision-controlled from raw stock to certified parts.

Every project delivers complete material traceability (mill certs, AMS/SAE compliance) with client-specified sourcing. When you designate suppliers like Solvay for polymers or Toray for alloys, we source exact compounds for avionics/satellite components—substitutions prohibited. Each batch undergoes metallurgical validation and polymer chromatography testing, enforcing zero tolerance for specification deviations.
