Trusted by Defence Contractors, Systems Integrators, and Aerospace OEMs — From Prototype to Flight-Ready Production.
CipherFab works with federal agencies, aerospace manufacturers, and defence contractors to simplify their supply chains and dynamically scale manufacturing capacity. Our digital platform gives procurement and engineering teams instant access to AS9100D-certified CNC machining, 3D printing, sheet metal fabrication, and tube manufacturing — with ITAR compliance, full material traceability, and expert engineering review on every order.
What We Manufacture
- End-use production of high-precision structural and mechanical components with flight-grade tolerances
- Customised low-volume runs for MRO, repairs, and replacement hardware
- Rapid tooling, jigs, brackets, fixtures, and chassis for programme support
- Prototype and pre-production components across metals, engineering plastics, and composites
- Sheet metal enclosures, frames, and panels for avionics, ground support, and UAV platforms
Manufacturing Capabilities
- CNC Machining — 3-axis and 4-axis milling and turning in aluminium, titanium, Inconel, stainless, and PEEK; tolerances to ±0.005″ standard, ±0.001″ on critical features
- 3D Printing — DMLS in titanium Grade 5, Inconel 625, aluminium AlSi10Mg, and 316L stainless; SLS and MJF for lightweight structural polymers
- Sheet Metal Fabrication — Laser cutting, waterjet, press brake bending, and welding in aluminium, stainless, and titanium alloys
- Tube Fabrication — Laser tube cutting and rotary draw bending in aluminium, stainless 304/316, and 4130 chromoly

Why CipherFab for Aerospace & Defense
Procurement teams in A&D spend too much time managing fragmented supplier networks against tight programme deadlines. CipherFab consolidates multi-process bills of materials — CNC machining, additive, sheet metal, and tube — under a single point of contact, with real-time quoting, DFM review before production begins, and end-to-end order tracking. Whether you are sourcing a single flight-critical component or managing a complex BOM across concurrent programmes, CipherFab gives your team the speed, documentation, and compliance backbone your programme demands.
