Our Aerospace Experience
Manufacturing Aerospace Components
Our Work
Our experience of the aerospace sector is comprehensive and in depth. We have been supporting aerospace customers with their projects now for well over a decade.
We have created single and multi-cavity aluminium tooling and plastic injection moulded components for aircraft, spacecraft, propulsion units and engines.
We have produced specialist airline components such as seating applications, cabin trim, advertising surrounds, trolley bump stops, trim finishers, lamp shades for First Class cabin space, and specialist fitting panels for aircraft interiors.
Our 3-axis and 5-axis CNC machining capabilities have enabled us to create complex geometrical forms and shapes that might usually require multiple processes to achieve. These cost savings are passed on to our customers in the form of competitive pricing and fast lead times.
We offer several value-added operations, including insert moulding, overmoulding, bespoke finishes and customised engraving.
Our new fast turnaround service, RP Rapid, is perfect for the rapid manufacture of airline components in as little as 7 business days. Already popular with several aerospace customers, we have produced components within short timeframes and to high precision, including escutcheons, fairings, shrouds, bumpers, endcaps, light blanks and armpads.
The Manufacturing Challenges of the Aerospace Sector
The aerospace sector is highly regulated, and safety and compliance are key considerations. One of the drawbacks of high volume production is that it can often result in a big reduction in the precision of final components.
This is where RP is different. As specialists in low-medium volume production, we have the capabilities to ensure that each component is perfectly crafted to its exacting specifications, without the need to sacrifice precision, accuracy, or detail.
We specialise in getting the complex jobs right at the first time of asking.
As with all our work, everything is done in-house to ensure full quality control. We understand the aerospace sector incredibly well, and we recognise that our customers need experienced manufacturers who understand the industry’s strict regulatory standards.
No matter what your requirements are, RP Technologies will ensure that each project is subject to rigorous inspection, quality, and testing. Our experienced quality engineers have the latest state-of-the-art technology and are adept at working to very tight tolerances.
We understand that aerospace components often require higher grades of material so that final components can withstand the rigours of aerospace applications. Our plastic injection moulding specialists have decades of experience in matching the right grade to the right job.
