Custom Aerospace Tooling Design & Manufacturing

M.A.R.'s Engineering manufactures custom aerospace tooling components such as pins, bushings, sleeves, inserts, connectors, shafts, and other precision-machined parts used in fixtures, assemblies, and production tooling. With EDM, Swiss machining, CNC turning, milling, and grinding in-house, the shop can support intricate geometries, hardened materials, and close-tolerance features required for aerospace applications.

The company supports extremely tight tolerances, with certain processes such as Swiss machining and centerless grinding achieving tolerances as close as ±0.0001 inches. Surface finishes can reach as fine as 4 μin on applicable parts. Capability depends on geometry, material, and process selection, but the overall operation is built for high-accuracy, repeatable aerospace and other critical-use components.

Yes. M.A.R.'s Engineering supports prototype quantities as well as full production runs. This is especially valuable for aerospace customers who need to validate tooling concepts, refine part geometry, and then transition into repeatable manufacturing without moving the work between multiple vendors. The integrated workflow helps reduce delays, preserve quality, and simplify project management.

M.A.R.'s Engineering works with a broad range of aerospace-suitable materials, including stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, brass, carbon steel, nickel alloys, copper, carbide, hardened steels, and engineering-grade plastics. Material selection is matched to the tooling function, wear requirements, corrosion resistance, and dimensional demands of the finished component.

Yes. The shop is equipped for complex features such as sharp internal corners, fine threads, cross-drilled holes, grooves, O-ring grooves, milled flats, keyways, and intricate outlines. Wire EDM is especially useful for hardened materials and detailed profiles, while Swiss machining and CNC equipment allow multiple operations to be completed in a single setup for better feature alignment.

Yes. In-house finishing services include options such as hard chrome, zinc, black oxide, nickel, gold, Teflon plating, polishing, powder coating, tumble deburring, and light assembly. Providing these services in one facility helps customers receive tooling components that are closer to installation-ready while maintaining better control over quality, timing, and dimensional consistency.

M.A.R.'s Engineering operates with ISO-compliant quality systems and references AS9100 D-certified processes across multiple service descriptions, along with compliance with Mil-1-45208A requirements. These standards support dimensional traceability, inspection discipline, and production consistency. For aerospace tooling, that means better documentation, repeatability, and confidence in the finished components.

Lead times are reduced through consolidated in-house operations that combine machining, EDM, grinding, finishing, and light assembly under one roof. The company also has in-house Wire EDM for custom tooling, which helps avoid outside toolmaking delays. This single-source approach minimizes vendor coordination, shortens handoff time, and keeps projects moving from prototype to production more efficiently.
