Aerospace CNC Machining Service

Aerospace CNC machining is a special way to make parts for airplanes and spacecraft. These parts must be perfect because lives depend on them. At Istar Machining, we use computer-controlled machines to cut and shape metals and other materials into parts that fly high in the sky or even into space!

Our precision CNC machining services help build the parts that keep planes safe and rockets soaring. From tiny screws to big engine parts, we make them all with amazing accuracy.

Why Aerospace Parts Need Special Care

When making parts for planes and spaceships, we can’t make mistakes. Here’s why:

Parts must work in extreme hot and coldtemperatures
They need to be very lightbut also super strong
They must last for many years without breaking
Even tiny mistakes could cause big problems

That’s why we use the best 5-axis machining tools that can make complex shapes with perfect accuracy.

Our Aerospace CNC Machining Tools and Methods

We use different machines and methods to make aerospace parts. Here’s what we do:

Machine Type	What It Does	Best For
5-Axis CNC Machines	Cuts material from 5 different angles with ±0.0001″ accuracy	Jet engine blades, complex curved parts
Swiss Machining	Makes very small parts between 0.5mm-32mm	Hydraulic fittings, tiny precision parts
Wire EDM	Uses electrical wire to cut metal with no heat damage	Lightweight brackets, heat-resistant parts
CNC Turning & Milling	Shapes parts up to 60″ long	Wing supports, big structural parts
Industry 4.0 Smart Machines	Uses computers to check quality while making parts	All parts, reduces mistakes by 35%

Our titanium CNC machining is perfect for aerospace parts that need to be strong but light.
