How to Navigate Defense Manufacturing Project Challenges
When managing a manufacturing project in any industry, challenges are unwelcome visitors that can put a damper on your schedule and budget. But, when you’re managing a manufacturing project for the defense industry, there’s a lot more at stake. With so much riding on the line, the pressure’s on to get it right. In a […]
The Antidote to the Problem of Manufacturing Tiny Defense Parts
As defense components become smaller and more intricate, manufacturing challenges are on the rise. Without an effective production strategy, complex assembly configurations can trigger project delays and increased costs with a cascading effect downstream. If your tiny parts are causing big problems on the production floor, we’d like to introduce you to the antidote that […]
Why DFM is Critical for Manufacturing Accurate and Cost-Effective Components
We jumped at the chance to machine ultra-precision components for a brand-new transcranial doppler (TCD) technology that reveals cerebral blood flow data in real-time. We knew it could change the game for patients and providers when diagnosing, surveying, and monitoring stroke and other blood flow disorders. In discussing the project with our high-tech medical equipment […]
How a Single-Source Space Manufacturer Can Streamline Your Supply Chain
As space exploration evolves, components have become increasingly complex. As a result, some companies choose to manage multiple manufacturing vendors with varying specialties to stay competitive. However, this practice can lead to hidden costs that compromise the success of your project. In this article, we’ll outline three of these unintended consequences and explain how a […]
Going Deeper into Space Depends on Pushing What’s Possible in Manufacturing
Beginning with the first artificial satellite in 1957, space exploration has long been important to humankind. The desire to go deeper into space has only grown with the emergence of NewSpace, the global industry of innovative aerospace companies developing commercial spaceflight technologies allowing civilians access to space. With the incredible advances over the last six […]

What to Consider When Evaluating a Space Component Manufacturer
The space manufacturing field is skyrocketing as parts continually elevate in complexity and precision with the persistent emergence of new technologies. It’s no wonder, then, that sourcing a new space manufacturer is becoming increasingly crucial to the future of space exploration. The right partner will have what it takes to produce your ultra-precision components with […]
3 Tips for Expediting the Mass Spectrometry R&D Process
According to a recent global opportunity analysis and industry forecast, the mass spectrometry market is projected to experience measurable growth from 2021 to 2030, with North America accounting for the highest share. Advances in technology, increased private funding, and more government grants for R&D are a few factors fueling this market growth. However, the inherent […]
How We’re Rising to Meet the Future of Aerospace Component Manufacturing
Aerospace manufacturing flourished from 2004 to 2018 with continuous production rates and new program introductions. Then, the 2019 Boeing 737 Max grounding and the 2020 global pandemic emergence socked a one-two punch to the then-thriving industry, forcing a historic 70% drop in passenger demand between 2019 to 2020, the largest-ever year-over-year dip. Having endured […]
What to Expect During the Ultra-Precision Component Manufacturing Process
As mission-critical medical components, aerospace, defense, space exploration, and other high-tech components become increasingly precise, the demand for ultra-precision component manufacturing has reached a new level. Whether you’re a project manager new to the industry or a seasoned pro with an exceedingly complex manufacturing challenge, your success hinges on accurate and timely parts – made […]
