From Customer Input to
Full-Rate Production

A proven workflow that takes your requirements from concept through certified, production-ready composite structures

1

Design

SolidWorks®, CATIA®, and Unigraphics®.

2

Analysis & Testing

ABACUS® and Cosmos-M® for FEA analysis and structural simulation.

3

Production

Tool design and fabrication, supply chain management, part molding, CNC machining, assembly, finishing and painting, and inspection.

4

Results

Lower weight, lower cost, superior performance, and full-rate production with ongoing customer support.

Our design-to-production process starts with your requirements — geometry, load requirements, testing requirements, and envelope definition — and moves through our engineering and tooling expertise to deliver validated, production-ready results.
