Why Choose Kemal for Aerospace CNC Machining
Free DFM Report
We offer a free DFM report before quoting. Our engineers review datums and setups, thin-wall/deep-pocket risks, burr-prone features, and key tolerances. You’ll get clear, actionable recommendations and an initial machining/inspection approach to reduce rework and keep lead times predictable.
Predictable Lead Times
All CNC machining is handled in our own facility, so your schedule is controlled in-house—not dependent on a third-party machine shop. We confirm manufacturability and production capacity before release, then run your job against clear milestones from DFM to first article, inspection, and shipment. You also receive proactive progress updates with photos/videos and key measurement checks.
Inspection Reports
Based on your CTQs, we can provide CMM or dimensional measurement reports, plus re-checks on critical features before shipment. If your program requires it, we also support material documentation (certs when available/required) and a lot/batch identification approach for traceability. First-article and in-process inspection packages can be prepared to match your drawing notes and verification needs.
Change Control & Revision Traceability
We manage design and process updates through a documented ECN/ECR workflow. Drawing/CAD revisions, material changes, fixture/tooling updates, and critical process adjustments are reviewed and approved before implementation. Revision history is linked to first-article samples and production lots to reduce build-to-old-revision risk. ECN/ECR records can be provided upon request for customer review.
3+2 / 5-Axis Capability
We machine aerospace parts with deep pockets, thin walls, and multi-face datums using a planned fixturing and operation strategy—not trial-and-error. Our team defines the setup sequence to reduce re-clamping and datum drift, and selects toolpaths to control deflection, chatter, and thermal effects on hard-to-machine features. For CTQs, we add in-process checkpoints as needed, so critical dimensions are verified during machining—not discovered out of tolerance at final inspection.
Transparent Quoting
Quotes are broken down by what drives cost—material, operations/setups, finishing, and any inspection or documentation package you request. Optional items (such as CMM/dimensional reports, first-article inspection, special packaging, or dedicated fixturing) are listed upfront instead of added later. During the DFM review, we also flag tolerance and feature risks that may impact price or lead time, so you can make informed trade-offs before production.

FAQ's
What tolerances can you hold for aerospace CNC machined parts?
Typical tolerances are defined per drawing requirements. For fit-critical or CTQ features, tighter tolerances can be supported after reviewing geometry, material, machining strategy, and inspection method. Tolerance targets are confirmed during quoting.
Do you support GD&T and CTQ feature control for aerospace components?
Yes. GD&T and CTQ features are reviewed during quoting and DFM. Datums and functional relationships are confirmed first, then setups are planned to protect them—single setup when possible, or controlled re-clamping with datum transfer. CTQ features are identified in advance and verified by CMM or dimensional inspection as specified on the drawing.
Do you offer 5-axis CNC machining for complex aerospace geometries?
Yes. We support 3+2 and full simultaneous 5-axis CNC machining for complex aerospace parts. 5-axis is used to reduce re-clamping, maintain datum consistency, and machine multi-face features, deep pockets, and compound angles in fewer setups.
What inspection reports and documentation are available?
Standard support includes dimensional inspection reports and material certificates when specified. CMM reports and first article inspection (FAI) documentation are available upon request, with report content aligned to drawing notes, GD&T, and CTQ requirements.
What aerospace materials can you machine?
We commonly machine aerospace aluminum alloys (such as 6061-T6 and 7075), stainless steels (including 17-4PH), and titanium alloys (Ti-6Al-4V upon review). Selected engineering plastics can also be machined when lightweight or insulating properties are required.
Do you support both prototype and low-volume aerospace production?
Yes. We support aerospace prototypes, qualification builds, and low-volume production. Process planning during prototyping is aligned with downstream production requirements to ensure repeatability and a smooth transition to follow-on builds.
What information is needed to request an aerospace CNC quote?
To quote an aerospace CNC job, we need CAD files or drawings, material specification, quantity, and any special requirements such as GD&T, CTQs, surface finish, and inspection or documentation needs. This allows us to confirm manufacturability and provide an accurate quotation.
How do you ensure repeatability for aerospace CNC parts?
Repeatability is ensured through controlled setup planning, documented machining processes, and consistent datum references. CTQ features are monitored with defined inspection methods, and revision control is applied to drawings and programs before repeat or follow-on builds.
