Case Study Highlights
Commercial Aviation Bracket Redesign
Client: Tier 1 Aerospace Supplier
Legacy bracket design required 3 separate components welded together, creating quality and cost issues.
PiPrecision engineers proposed a single-piece machined design using 7075-T6 aluminum, eliminating welds and reducing weight by 40%.
60% cost reduction, 50% lead time improvement, zero defects in 5,000+ unit production run.
Satellite Component Precision Machining
Client: Space Systems Manufacturer
Critical mounting bracket required ±0.005mm tolerance on multiple holes with strict perpendicularity requirements.
5-axis simultaneous machining with in-process probing and CMM verification on every part.
100% first-pass yield, on-time delivery for satellite integration, ongoing production partnership established.
