Where Aerospace & Defense Precision Takes Flight
Aerospace and Defense manufacturers across the Pacific Northwest and Western Canada operate in a highly demanding environment where precision, traceability, and consistency are critical. Production requires processing a wide range of materials – including prepregs,advanced composites, aluminum alloys, honeycomb panels, core materials,plastics, and hybrid laminates each with unique handling and cutting requirements. At the same time, manufacturers face ongoing skilled labor shortages, compressed lead times, frequent engineering changes, and strict quality and certification standards. Balancing flexibility, repeatability, and scalability while controlling cost and risk makes adaptable, automation-ready manufacturing technology essential for aerospace production throughout the region.
