Is Your Defense Part Material Too Difficult to Manufacture?
![Does your defense manufacturing challenge feel like an unsolvable puzzle? We can help.](https://kmmgrp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/volodymyr-hryshchenko-inI8GnmS190-unsplash.jpg)
Tight tolerances, thin walls, complex configurations, and visibly perfect finishes are among the chief defense manufacturing challenges. Still, nothing can ground a project liftoff faster than a difficult-to-manufacture part material. While straightforward materials like aluminum and stainless steel generally pose few complications, dozens of other exotic alloys can create significant obstacles on the production floor, […]
