Custom Manufacturing For Defence Components

The equipment used in the defense and homeland security sector must be of the highest quality and constantly upgraded to meet the latest technology at every turn. Depending on the machine or application at hand, the defense components involved might call for common or rare materials.

For defense contract machining, strong materials with high thresholds for temperature and pressure are essential to keep equipment parts running for as long as possible without breaking down. As such, contractors in the field of precision manufacturing for homeland security utilize everything from sheet absorbers and dielectric materials for a vast range of customized machinery.

Additive Manufacturing For Defense Components

Additive manufacturing can unlock a sea of opportunities for making defense components, not least reduced production costs for tools and components, additional design flexibility, and localized manufacturing. At the same time, additive manufacturing can considerably enhance the maintenance of military systems through the production of spare or obsolete parts.

Additive manufacturing significantly speeds up the design process of defense components, since it requires no tooling. In contrast, traditional manufacturing can take months to produce the necessary tools to create end parts and prototypes. The defense industry can therefore take advantage of the technology to bypass costly and time-consuming tooling, thereby reducing the time required for product development and the end production of defense components.
