What kind of 
aerospace & 
defense parts 

can we make?

Aerospace manufacturing
processes

3ERP offers wide range of manufacturing processes for aerospace prototypes and production parts.

CNC Machining

By using CNC milling & turning, we can make a wide range of prototypes and production parts

Injection Molding

We offer low-volume prototype moldings and mass production moldings.

3D Printing

We provide 3D printing services using a range of cutting-edge additive manufacturing technologies for metal or plastic parts

Sheet Metal Fabrication

Laser cutting, bending, stamping, spinning, punching, welding.

Automotive manufacturing possibilities

We produce prototypes for many interior vehicle parts, such as the steering wheel, dashboard, and console. By utilizing rapid prototyping, interior parts can be tested in different ways. For example, steering wheels can be evaluated for their grip, dashboards can be verified for color, and consoles can be assessed for the amount of wear they show after use. The results gathered from these tests can provide insight into whether a design needs alteration.

Many aerospace parts can be machined by CNC, such as transmissions, landing gear components, electrical components, bulkheads and wing skins. Precision machining is required with high-quality 5-axis machining centers when the job involves the production of critical end-use components.

Parts that lend themselves toward aerospace CNC machining are typically low-volume parts that require high strength and fine features. Machining might also be used to repair or modify existing parts, to add detailed features, or to add engraved textual information such as serial numbers. Some parts may be post-machined only, after being cast or extruded.
