Aerospace machining often requires specialized machine tools, such as this X10000 from Mitsui Seiki. Tier 1 suppliers often look to the machine builder to share in the creation of a manufacturing process, which allows the owner of a new machine to better understand the latest technical features and how to use them.
How quality assurance and regulatory issues influence aerospace part manufacturing
Success in aerospace machining requires more than the ability to hold tight tolerances in difficult materials. It also requires the ability to prove that you did so in compliance with a pile of specific guidelines, with reports that must likewise follow a specific format. Let’s consider how these quality assurance (QA) and regulatory burdens influence aerospace manufacturing and explore some new tools that ease the burden.
