Product Description

Accelerating Lightweighting and Mass Production for the New Space Era

With the rapid expansion of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) communications, earth observation, and satellite IoT, satellite manufacturing is shifting toward lightweighting, modular design, and high-volume mass production.

Satellite metal structures and enclosures must not only withstand the severe vibrations and shocks during rocket launch, but also maintain extreme precision, excellent heat dissipation, superior electromagnetic shielding (EMI/RFI shielding), and flawless batch-to-batch consistency in the harsh environment of space.

We offer a robust aerospace manufacturing supply chain backed by extensive precision machining experience. Whether for LEO satellites, communication payloads, UAVs, or other aerospace-grade applications, we deliver the most cost-effective, one-stop integrated manufacturing solutions—spanning Precision CNC Machining, Die Casting, and Forging—tailored precisely to your 2D drawings, 3D models, material requirements, tolerances, and production volumes.

Core Manufacturing Processes

1. Precision CNC Machining

Ideal for Low-Volume Prototypes, High-Precision Components, and Critical Interfaces
Designed for satellite structural prototypes, high-precision mission-critical payload parts, and mating interfaces requiring stringent assembly accuracy, our CNC machining services deliver unmatched precision:

  • Ultra-Precise Dimensional Control:
    We strictly control critical holes, mating surfaces, flatness, concentricity, and position tolerances. For precision parts, we can achieve dimensional control down to ±0.01 mm (actual tolerances depend on material, dimensions, wall thickness, and geometry).
  • Standard Aerospace Materials:
    Highly proficient in machining aerospace-grade alloys, including Al 6061-T6, Al 7075-T6, Titanium alloys, and Stainless Steel.

2. Aluminum Die Casting

The Advantage Process for Scaled Satellite Constellation Production
For LEO satellite constellations and ground station equipment with stable volume requirements, our die casting process seamlessly integrates thermal cooling fins, mounting bosses, reinforcing ribs, and cable routing channels into a single cohesive component. This process maximizes both mass production efficiency and dimensional accuracy:

  • Seamless Process Integration:
    Post-die casting, we perform secondary CNC precision machining to flawlessly complete mating surfaces, alignment holes, threads, and high-tolerance assembly interfaces.
  • Typical Applications:
    • Electronic and communication equipment enclosures (achieving optimal EMI/RFI shielding and thermal management).
    • Motor, actuator, and sensor protective housings.
    • Satellite secondary structures and Ground Support Equipment (GSE).

Aerospace Quality & Process Control

In the space and defense supply chains, "meeting dimensions" is merely the baseline. We deeply understand our customers' rigorous standards for risk mitigation and consistency management:

  • Thin-Wall Machining Distortion Control:
    By optimizing specialized fixtures and cutting parameters, we prevent lightweight, thin-walled structures from warping due to internal stress release during high-speed machining.
  • GD&T and Fitment Management:
    We strictly control Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) to guarantee perfect assembly interchangeability, even under the extreme thermal expansion and contraction of space.
  • Full Traceability & Compliance:
    We provide comprehensive Material Certifications (CoC) and batch traceability, ensuring that every single finished component can be traced back to its original raw material melt/heat number.
  • Advanced Metrology & Inspection:
    Equipped with high-precision Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM), we provide complete First Article Inspection (FAI) reports and in-process dimensional measurement records.
  • Vacuum Outgassing & Space-Grade Surface Treatments:
    To meet strict space environment requirements, we offer corrosion-resistant and low-outgassing surface treatments (compliant with NASA SP-R-0022A specifications):
    • Aerospace-Grade Anodizing (MIL-A-8625).
    • Chromate Conversion Coating (MIL-DTL-5541).
    • Electroless Nickel Plating.
  • AS9100 Quality Framework Alignment:
    We adhere strictly to the quality management guidelines of the aerospace and defense supply chain (AS9100 framework) to ensure every piece of hardware meets high-reliability expectations.
