Aerospace engineering
Aerospace prototyping and precision parts
Move from development hardware to repeatable low-volume parts with the material, drawing and inspection requirements kept with the job. Modulabs connects your project to qualified suppliers selected for the required process and controls.
Send the specification
Upload CAD, drawings, quantity and working requirements.
Order check
Engineers check material, process, inspection and supplier fit before production.
Confirmed quote
Receive the reviewed price by email, then continue to payment.
Typical applications
Parts your team can source
From early development to repeat low-volume demand, the manufacturing route is reviewed around the part’s actual duty.
- Lightweight structural brackets
- Avionics housings and heat sinks
- UAV frames and payload mounts
- Wind-tunnel and test-rig hardware
- Ground-support tooling and fixtures
- Low-volume replacement components
Processes
A practical route for each stage
5-axis CNC machining
Complex lightweight geometry, controlled datums and fewer setups for critical parts.
View processEngineering 3D printing
Fast form, fit and airflow models before committing to machined hardware.
View processPrecision sheet metal
Avionics trays, guards, panels and formed lightweight enclosures.
View processMaterials
Materials selected for the working environment
Aluminium 7075
High strength-to-weight ratio for loaded brackets and structural hardware.
Aluminium 6082 / 6061
Machinable, corrosion resistant and practical for housings, fixtures and prototypes.
Stainless steel
Useful where strength, wear or corrosion resistance outweighs mass.
PEEK and engineering polymers
Specialist insulating, chemical-resistant or high-temperature components.
Design considerations
What to define before manufacture
Drawing-led tolerances
Attach a controlled drawing for critical datums, fits, threads and surface requirements rather than relying on the 3D model alone.
Material traceability
State the certificate and batch traceability your programme requires so engineering can source an appropriate supplier.
Inspection scope
Identify critical-to-quality features and request dimensional reports, FAIR documentation or additional inspection where needed.
