There\u2019s no room for error when it comes to aerospace engineering<\/a>. Aerospace companies need suppliers they can rely on, with accredited qualifications and the in-house expertise to manufacture safety-critical parts<\/strong> right the first time. Choosing an aerospace supplier that is not able to do this can lead to rising costs for part manufacture, unacceptable safety risks, and extended delays to projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As trusted engineering suppliers to the aerospace sector, M-CNC<\/a> use our in-house CNC capabilities<\/a> and ironclad quality management processes<\/strong> to guarantee perfect engineering every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Accreditations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As suppliers to the aerospace sector, we have attained the necessary verifications to reassure our customers that the parts they receive from us will be of only the highest quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have attained AS9100 Rev D accreditation<\/strong>, which incorporates ISO 9001, through BSI. AS9100 Rev D is an internationally recognised aerospace standard for Quality Management Systems (QMS). We completed our audit with 0 NCRs (Non-Conformity Reports), demonstrating that our QMS meet the strict requirements of the aerospace industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Achieving this qualification also put M-CNC<\/a> on the Online Aerospace Supplier Information System (OASIS)<\/strong>, which any aerospace company can search to find us. We have also attained JOSCAR Registered status<\/a>, giving both aerospace and defence<\/a> customers assurance of our commitment and credentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. First Article Inspection (FAI)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We conduct First Article Inspection (FAI)<\/a> to confirm the manufacturing production process for a new part meets the needed specifications. We provide aerospace CNC machining<\/a> with full FAI documentation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generally, we make one part from an order, stop the machines, then check every single dimension of the part we\u2019ve made. The part is checked against the technical drawings and manufacturing specifications for the order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We then produce a First Article Inspection Report (FAIR)<\/strong>. This documents the implementation and verification of the part\u2019s production:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
