Core Advantages of Wangdefu Aerospace CNC Prototype Machining
Five-Axis Precision Machining – One-Step Complex Geometry
Using imported five-axis CNC machining centers with accuracy ≤0.002mm, we produce intricate components such as angled holes (30°–120°), thin-walled cavities (≥0.5mm), and honeycomb lattice structures in one setup. Custom vacuum fixtures and layered cutting processes minimize deformation, keeping variations below 0.005mm and ensuring aerodynamic and assembly precision. As a China supplier, Wangdefu Factory guarantees repeatable precision for even the most challenging aerospace prototypes.
Specialized Material Handling – Aerospace-Grade Performance
We excel in machining titanium alloys (TC4/TC11), high-temperature alloys (Inconel718, Hastelloy), CFRP composites, and high-strength aluminum alloys (7075-T7351). PCBN and diamond-coated tools, combined with low-temperature coolant or low-speed high-feed strategies, guarantee superior surface quality (Ra≤0.4μm) and dimensional accuracy (≤0.01mm), matching the performance of production parts.
Full-Process Quality Control
We adhere to AS9100 aerospace quality standards and utilize CMMs, laser trackers, roughness testers, and metallographic microscopes for 100% dimensional inspection. Key dimensions undergo laser interferometer calibration to ensure micrometer-level accuracy. Complete inspection reports and process traceability documents are provided, meeting military and research compliance requirements.
Customized & Rapid Delivery Services
Our engineers offer free DFM (Design for Manufacturability) consultation, optimizing design, material, and process solutions to enhance prototype fit and performance. We support single-piece custom orders up to 500 units per month without minimum order restrictions. For urgent R&D projects, prototypes can be completed in as fast as 72 hours, keeping pace with accelerated aerospace development schedules.
Typical Application Scenarios
Aerospace Engine R&D: Turbine blades, combustion chamber nozzles, and compressor impellers for aerodynamic testing and high-temperature endurance, allowing early detection of design flaws and shorter engine development cycles.
Spacecraft Manufacturing: Satellite structural frames, landing shock absorbers, rocket engine connectors; high-strength materials and precise machining ensure stability in extreme space environments.
Onboard Equipment R&D: Radar domes, navigation sensor housings, and aviation instrument assemblies; prototypes meet lightweight, anti-EMI, and thermal stability requirements.
UAV Development: Military and commercial drone wings and fuselage structures; CFRP components provide lightweight yet strong structures, improving flight endurance and payload capacity.
