-
What aerospace materials can be machined?
-
Common options include aluminum alloys, stainless steel, zinc alloys, engineering plastics, and other metals or non-metallic materials. Material selection depends on strength, weight, corrosion resistance, operating temperature, and testing requirements.
-
Can TOP Prototype produce complex aerospace geometries?
-
Yes. CNC and 5-axis machining can produce complex surfaces, multi-angle features, deep cavities, and difficult-to-access areas. The company profile includes five-axis machining examples in stainless steel and zinc alloy.
-
What machining tolerances can be achieved?
-
Tolerance capability depends on the material, geometry, part size, and critical features. Documented projects include general accuracies of ±0.03 mm and ±0.05 mm, with selected bore features controlled to +0.01 mm.
-
Can TOP Prototype support both aerospace prototypes and low-volume production?
-
Yes. Projects can progress from design models and functional prototypes to rapid tooling and low-volume production, reducing the need to change suppliers during development.
-
Are surface-finishing services available?
-
Yes. Available finishing options include painting, brushing, electroplating, laser engraving, texturing, screen printing, polishing, anodizing, and material-specific treatments such as passivation.
-
How is the most suitable manufacturing process selected?
-
Process selection is based on part geometry, material, tolerance, surface finish, functional requirements, quantity, and budget. CNC machining is generally preferred for high-accuracy functional parts, while 3D printing is useful for rapid and complex design validation.
-
Can aerospace parts be manufactured under an NDA?
-
Confidentiality requirements can be discussed before files are submitted. An agreed NDA can help protect CAD models, drawings, test data, specifications, and other project information.
