Five-Axis Prototyping Case Study for Aerospace Components

An aerospace development project required complex curved surfaces and several angular features on a thin-walled part. Repeated setups would have increased positioning uncertainty.

XDC used five-axis machining to complete the main features in fewer setups, combined with stress-conscious roughing and finishing strategies. The finished part was checked for profile and position requirements.

The prototype supported the customer's next stage of structural and performance testing.
