In the highstakes world of advanced manufacturing, OEMs often face design complexities that push the limits of conventional production. This case study explores how our comprehensive CNC machining services provided a critical solution for a client in the aerospace sector, demonstrating the value of a true onestop machining partner.

The part required intricate internal channels for fluid transfer, needed to be manufactured from a highstrength, heatresistant titanium alloy, and had to maintain ultratight tolerances (±0.01mm) across multiple complex geometries. Traditional methods involving welding subassemblies posed risks of failure under stress and thermal cycling.
Our engineering team initiated a Design for Manufacturability (DFM) analysis. We proposed consolidating the part from five separate pieces into a single, monolithic component. This would eliminate potential weak points and enhance overall integrity. The challenge was machining the deep, smalldiameter internal channels within the solid titanium block.
Leveraging our multiaxis CNC capabilities, we programmed a sophisticated toolpath strategy. Using specialized longreach tooling and highpressure coolant through the spindle, we precisely machined the deep internal features in a single setup on a 5axis machining center. This not only ensured exceptional accuracy and surface finish but also maintained the material's structural properties by managing heat and vibration.
The result was a flawless firstarticle part that passed all CMM inspection and pressure tests. The monolithic design exceeded performance requirements, reducing weight and assembly time for the client. By solving this complex challenge, we delivered more than a part—we delivered enhanced reliability, reduced supply chain risk, and accelerated timetomarket.
