When a component fails in aerospace, the cost goes far beyond dollars. Every part that leaves a fabrication shop needs to be right the first time. That is why choosing the right partner for aerospace sheet metal fabrication is one of the most critical decisions you will make for your program.
At New Age Metal Fabricating (NAMF), we have built our reputation by delivering precision parts for one of the most demanding industries in the world. We handle the entire process in-house, and we carry the certifications, equipment, and track record to back it up.
What Is Aerospace Sheet Metal Fabrication?
Aerospace sheet metal fabrication is the process of turning raw metal into structural components used in aircraft, spacecraft, and related systems. It covers cutting, forming, bending, welding, and surface finishing, each step performed to very tight specifications.
This is not standard fabrication work. Aerospace components face extreme pressure, altitude changes, and thermal stress. Every part must meet strict tolerances and pass thorough quality checks before it leaves the facility.
Why Aerospace Work Demands a Higher Level of Capability
Producing parts for the aerospace industry requires specialized equipment, proven processes, and a team that knows the standards inside and out.
NAMF uses CNC lathe and milling machine capabilities that give our machinists the precision control needed for complex geometries and tight dimensional requirements. This level of accuracy does not happen with standard shop equipment. It takes purpose-built machinery and experienced operators who understand what aerospace tolerances actually mean. Clients who need aluminum prototype machining ahead of a full production run can have that handled in-house as well, keeping projects on schedule without adding outside vendors to the mix.
Every capability we offer is built for industries where accuracy is not optional.
Materials We Work With
Aluminum is the most commonly used material in aerospace sheet metal fabrication. It combines low weight with high strength and performs well across a wide range of surface finishing processes. We also work with titanium, steel, and specialty alloys, depending on what your application requires.
For surface protection, we apply alodine coating, a chemical conversion process that improves corrosion resistance without adding meaningful weight. It is widely specified on aerospace components and is a standard part of our service offering. Clients who also need brass milling for non-ferrous components can have that done here too, which means fewer suppliers and a cleaner supply chain for your team.
Aerospace Sheet Metal Fabrication Services We Offer
NAMF is a full-service manufacturer. We manage the entire production cycle in one facility, which gives you tighter quality control, clearer documentation, and less coordination overhead.
Our aerospace sheet metal fabrication services include:
- Aluminium laser cutting, forming, and punching for precise, clean sheet metal components
- Welding and assembly for complex structural parts and assemblies
- Painting, chemical conversion coating, and other finishing services for compliance and long-term protection
We also serve defense clients. NAMF brings proven experience in military fabrication, and we understand the strict documentation, traceability, and approval requirements that defense contracts demand. Clients who need those same controls applied to military machining work will find the same precision, the same accountability, and the same quality standards applied across every job.
Our Certifications and Approvals
Quality in aerospace is demonstrated, not claimed. NAMF is AS9100C certified and currently operates under AS9100D, the quality management standard for aerospace industry suppliers. We also hold Nadcap certification, which covers the specialized manufacturing processes aerospace suppliers use on a regular basis.
Beyond those certifications, we carry special approvals from Bae Systems, Raytheon, and Lockheed Martin. Each of those approvals requires documented performance and the ability to meet the company’s own rigorous requirements. They are not issued lightly, and maintaining them is part of how we hold ourselves accountable.
You can learn more about AS9100D certification and why it matters to aerospace buyers specifically.
Clients Who Trust NAMF
Some of the most recognized names in aerospace and defense rely on NAMF for sheet metal fabrication. GE, General Dynamics, Harris, Northrop Grumman, Airbus, and Lockheed Martin are among our active clients. These companies have no shortage of options. They work with NAMF because we consistently deliver parts that meet their standards.
If you are evaluating fabrication partners for your next project, you will be in good company here.
The Value of Working With a Single-Source Manufacturer
When you work with NAMF, you are not coordinating across multiple vendors with different quality systems and communication styles. You have one point of contact, one quality system, and one team responsible for your parts from start to finish.
That is the advantage of a full-service, in-house operation. Aerospace sheet metal fabrication handled this way is faster to execute, easier to document, and more consistent across production runs. Whether you need a short prototype run, a full production batch, or ongoing supply of components, we are built to handle it.
