Flight-critical components demand zero compromise. We deliver precision-machined aerospace parts with full traceability, controlled processes, and documentation that satisfies the most rigorous audits.
Aerospace machining isn’t just about hitting tight tolerances — it’s about maintaining absolute consistency across every single part in a production run while generating the documentation trail that proves it. At DEK, we’ve built our aerospace practice around the understanding that every component we machine could be flight-critical.
Our team has deep experience with the unique challenges of aerospace materials — from the work-hardening tendencies of Inconel and titanium to the stringent surface integrity requirements of aluminum structural components. We combine advanced 5-axis machining with rigorous process controls to deliver parts that pass First Article Inspection the first time.

From structural airframe components to engine accessories, we machine the parts that keep aircraft safe and mission-capable.
Purpose-built machining capabilities that meet the demanding requirements of aerospace programs from prototype through production.
Our engineering team works alongside your designers from day one, identifying potential manufacturing issues before they become production problems.
We review every design for manufacturability, flagging features that may compromise part integrity or drive unnecessary cost — with specific callouts for aerospace material behavior and tolerance stacking.
Complete production part approval process documentation including control plans, process flow diagrams, PFMEA, and measurement system analysis — ready for your quality team's review.
Custom fixture design for thin-wall and complex aerospace geometries, minimizing distortion and ensuring repeatable clamping for production consistency across every part in the lot.
Guidance on material selection, heat treatment specifications, and surface finish requirements based on real-world machining experience with aerospace alloys and mil-spec standards.
In aerospace, quality isn't a department — it's embedded in every step of our process. Our QMS is built around AS9100D and designed to satisfy the most demanding OEM audits.
Every aerospace part we produce comes with a complete documentation package: material certifications with full heat/lot traceability, dimensional inspection reports, First Article Inspection per AS9102, process certifications for special processes, and certificates of conformance.
Our quality management system tracks every operation from raw material receipt through final shipment. We maintain controlled processes for tool life management, in-process gauging, and statistical process control that ensure consistency isn’t left to chance.
We conduct regular internal audits, management reviews, and continuous improvement activities. Our corrective action process follows the 8D methodology, and we maintain a supplier quality program that holds our material and process vendors to the same standards our customers demand of us.
