01 / product overview

One part identity: aerospace aluminum, 5-axis machined, made to your drawing

This custom CNC machined aerospace component is manufactured from customer-specified aluminum alloy using multi-axis CNC machining. The 5-axis process suits complex geometries with multiple machined faces, angled features, pockets and contoured surfaces that would otherwise require repeated reorientation on conventional 3-axis equipment.

Material grade and temper are selected according to the engineering drawing or purchasing specification. Where required, surface finishing and dimensional inspection are completed according to the agreed production documentation.

02 / why 5-axis for this part

This geometry is why the part needs 5-axis machining

Not a general lesson in CNC. The reasons below are specific to the features on this product family.

01
Complex multi-sided geometry

Multiple machined faces are reached in fewer setups, so orientation errors between faces stay small.

02
Angled features

Inclined holes, angled pockets and compound surfaces are machined in the part's natural orientation instead of with angled fixtures.

03
Reduced re-fixturing

Fewer clamp → machine → unclamp → reposition → re-clamp cycles mean less risk of distortion and datum shift.

04
Better feature relationship

The value is in the position of holes, datums and mounting faces relative to each other, not just a single dimension.

04 / design considerations

Guidance for 5-axis aluminum part design

What we review before quoting, so your drawing machines cleanly the first time.

D1

Thin walls

Very thin walls can deform from cutting forces, residual stress and fixturing conditions. Minimum wall thickness is evaluated against alloy, geometry and part size rather than one universal value.

D2

Deep pockets

Deep pockets require tool reach, rigidity, chip evacuation and tool diameter to be considered together with the pocket's depth-to-width ratio.

D3

Small holes

Hole diameter, depth-to-diameter ratio, material, drilling strategy and tolerance interact — small deep holes need the right tooling and sequence.

D4

Radii & internal corners

Small internal radii constrain tool diameter, add machining time and increase tool wear. Generous radii where the design allows keep cost down.

D5

Datums & GD&T

Critical dimensions should relate to clear datums and inspection references, so the part can be measured and verified consistently.

12 / frequently asked questions

Straight answers for engineering buyers

What aluminum alloys can be used for aerospace CNC parts?
Commonly specified options include 7075-T7351, 7075-T6 / T651, 6061-T6, 2024-T3 and 7050. The alloy and temper for your part follow the approved engineering drawing or purchasing specification, so the correct grade is selected per project rather than applied by default.
What is 7075-T7351 aluminum used for?
7075-T7351 is an overaged 7075 temper covered by applicable aerospace material specifications, and can be considered where the engineering requirement calls for its specific combination of strength and stress-corrosion performance. Final material selection should follow the approved engineering specification.
Why is 5-axis machining used for aerospace aluminum parts?
A part benefits from 5-axis machining when multiple faces, compound-angle features, contoured surfaces or difficult tool-access conditions make conventional multi-setup machining inefficient or increase alignment risk. The process reaches angled features in the part's natural orientation and reduces re-fixturing.
Can you machine parts from our CAD drawing?
Yes. Send a 3D CAD file (STEP, STP, IGES or X_T) plus a 2D drawing with tolerances, GD&T, material and surface-finish requirements. We review geometry and manufacturability before quotation.
Can you provide material certificates?
Material documentation can be provided according to the purchase specification and project requirements — including alloy designation, temper, heat or lot, and material certificate. Scope is confirmed per order.
Can you provide CMM reports?
CMM measurement can be used for critical dimensional verification of complex 5-axis geometry where required, with a dimensional report prepared per the agreed inspection plan.
Can you support FAI documentation?
First Article Inspection documentation can be prepared for projects requiring aerospace-style FAI, executed in line with AS9102C requirements where the project scope requires it.
What tolerances can you achieve?
Machining capability is up to ±0.005 mm on applicable features. Final tolerances follow the approved drawing — capability is not claimed on every dimension of the part.
What surface finishes are available?
Clear anodizing, hardcoat anodizing, color anodizing, chemical conversion coating, bead blasting, polishing and custom finishes per drawing. Selection follows the approved production documentation.
Can you produce one prototype?
Prototype quantities from a single piece can be produced subject to project review and quotation; the MOQ for prototype projects is 1 piece.
What affects the cost of a 5-axis aerospace aluminum part?
Geometry complexity, material grade and temper, tolerances, surface finish, quantity and documentation requirements. A complete RFQ with 3D CAD and 2D drawing allows an accurate quote.
What information is required for quotation?
3D CAD file, 2D drawing, quantity, material, surface treatment, delivery destination and required quality documentation. See the request-a-quote section for the full checklist.
