Many component manufacturers deploy a CNC centerless technique when tasked with grinding tiny parts with super thin wall thicknesses. However, they can inadvertently crush them without the right grinding approach, triggering catastrophic results that drive up costs and timelines. So, the question becomes: How can super thin walls be achieved without compromising tiny parts?  To […]

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 […]

How We Pulled Off a Near-Impossible Aerospace Manufacturing Feat

We were instantly intrigued when our high-end motor manufacturing customer asked us to produce components for highly confidential defense motors. First, they explained that the tightly controlled tolerances prevented them from manufacturing these aeronautic parts in-house. Then, they revealed that more than 60 other component manufacturers had either refused or tried and failed to produce […]
