CNC Foam Cutting and Foam Milling
Whether it is a cowling mold, an RC wing, a replica part or an
original design from your CAD file or sketch we'll cut or mill your
part in foam. Our state of the art large scale systems give you the
choice of using a hotwire for wings, stabilizers and other constant
face shapes or a full 3D 4-axis CNC router where appropriate to
create the precision complex shape or design you desire. We can
handle single pieces up to 55" x 46" x 44". Make a mold or prototype
for your fairing, wheel pants or an RC fuselage. We'll ship you the
finished item or have our in house lay- up department complete the
job with fiberglass, carbon fiber or hybrid composites finished to a
flawless gel or painted to your specs.
Aircraft Welding
Our militaqry certified welders (MIL-STD-1595A and MIL-STD-2219) can provide you with a superior welded product implementing GTAW (TIG/Heliarc), GMAW (MIG/Flux cored) or SMAW (Arc) and work with all metals including aluminum, steel, titanium or iconel. From experimental airframes to motor mounts or repairs we'll get the job done quickly and professionally to the very highest standards.
