Complete Lifecycle Manufacturing Partner

       We partner with customers early in the development (NPD/NPI) cycle to turn complex concepts into buildable, high-quality components. Our manufacturing expertise and flexibility allows us to move quickly from model to part, delivering aerospace-grade prototypes that reflect real production methods, tolerances, and quality standards.

       By engaging during the prototype phase, we provide the manufacturing insight needed to reduce cost, improve reliability, and ensure every design is ready for manufacturing scale. We’re not just producing parts, we’re helping shape the production plan that follows.

​

Our prototyping and DFM services include:

• Collaborative DFM reviews and manufacturability input on early designs

• Rapid prototype builds with production-level precision

• Prototype tooling and fixture development

• Documentation and inspection packages (FAIR, C of C, material traceability)

       Toolmax Aerospace was built on toolmaking craftsmanship, it’s in our name and our DNA. We design and manufacture custom tooling, fixtures, and gauges that form the foundation of reliable, repeatable manufacturing. Every tool we build is engineered to enhance precision, reduce variability, and streamline setup for both prototype and production work.

       By keeping tool design and build in-house, we control quality, lead time, and alignment with your part requirements. Whether supporting forming operations, assembly, machining, or inspection, our tooling solutions enable us to achieve high end-product quality.

​

Our tooling services include:

• Design and build of production and prototype tooling

• Custom forming and trim tools for aerospace sheet metal components

• Precision assembly and weld fixtures

• CMM and inspection gauges

• Tooling maintenance, refurbishment, and calibration support

• Close collaboration with customer engineering teams for tool design optimization

       Toolmax Aerospace delivers start-to-finish manufacturing of precision components and assemblies for the aerospace, defense, and space industries. Our strength lies in producing complex parts that require tight tolerance control, specialized materials, and disciplined process management. Whether it’s a one-off prototype or a multi-year production program, we strategically design a manufacturing process fit to meet the program's demand needs.

       We combine deep toolmaking knowledge, advanced CNC machining, and sheet metal forming to support both structural and engine-class hardware. Every part is built under an AS9100D-certified system, ensuring traceability, consistency, and flight-ready quality.

 

Our component manufacturing services include (but not limited to):

• Engine & Hot-Section Support Hardware

  • Heat Shields, Baffles, Ducts, ​Seals, etc.

  • Fittings, Motor Covers, Clips, Brackets​

• Light Assembly​

  • Welded sheet metal components, machined assemblies, etc.​

• Spacecraft Hardware​

  • Gimbal, mounting, and accessory components​

       Toolmax Aerospace maintains a robust AS9100D-certified Quality Management System designed for complete process control and traceability. Quality isn’t just an inspection step, it’s built into every phase of our manufacturing workflow, from material receipt through final shipment.

       Our QMS ensures that each component, tool, and assembly is produced under controlled documentation, verified inspection, and customer-approved standards. We also provide full documentation packages to support regulatory compliance across aerospace, defense, and space programs.

​

Our QMS and document control services include:

• AS9100D and ITAR compliance management

• First Article Inspection (FAIR) to AS9102 standards

• PPAP, control plans, and process validation

• Certification and material traceability packages

• Digital documentation and revision control

• Internal and supplier audit programs
