Materials for Aerospace Components
We provide production-grade metals and composites for aerospace prototyping, offering fast turnaround and low cost. Compatible with diverse materials, our services help bring your aerospace component concepts to life.
| Samples | Materials | Description |
|---|---|---|
 | Aluminum | 6000 & 7000 series aluminum (6061,6082,7075) feature excellent strength-to-weight ratio, good ductility, stiffness, corrosion resistance & machinability, ideal for aerospace mounts, skins and ribs. |
 | Copper | Copper has excellent thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity and plasticity. It is also highly ductile, corrosion resistant and easy to weld. |
 | Stainless steel | Stainless steel (304,316,410) delivers outstanding corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, widely adopted for aerospace engine, landing gear & structural parts. |
 | Titanium | Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V, Grade 2) boasts superior strength-to-weight ratio, outstanding corrosion & temperature resistance, ideal for aerospace high-load components. |
 | Plastic | Plastics (POM, PEEK, ABS) feature diverse grades, low cost & fast machining, ideal for custom CNC prototype and functional parts. |
Surface Finishing of Aerospace Parts
ZPL Precision’s aerospace rapid prototyping surfacing finishing techniques cater to both functional and aesthetic purposes. Each technique comes with specific requirements, including materials, color, texture, and price. Listed below are the surfacing finishing techniques we provide.
| Samples | Process | Description |
|---|---|---|
 | Sandblasting | Sandblasting creates a matte part finish for aesthetic purposes, ready for subsequent secondary surface treatments. |
 | Anodizing | Anodizing boosts metal corrosion resistance, hardness and wear protection, ideal for aerospace, auto, precision and mechanical components. |
 | Electrostatic spraying | Electrostatic powder spraying applies dry powder electrostatically, cured by heat or UV, differing from solvent-based traditional liquid coatings. |
 | Polishing | Our polishing covers Ra 0.8 to Ra 0.1. Abrasive media finishes part surfaces, delivering tailored gloss levels per your specifications. |
 | Plating | Electroplating deposits metal ions via electric current, shielding component surfaces against rust and corrosive damage. |

What Are the Benefits of Using 3D-printed Parts in Aerospace Manufacturing?
Cost-Effective Production
Additive manufacturing minimizes material waste compared to traditional subtract methods, leading to significant cost savings in the production of aerospace components.
Rapid Prototyping and Customization
3D printing enables aerospace rapid prototyping, allowing engineers to quickly create and test custom designs for components. This speeds up the design iteration process and ensures faster time-to-market.
Complex Geometries
The technology allows for the fabrication of intricate geometries and internal structures that are difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional manufacturing methods.
Reduced Lead Times
With custom aerospace prototyping services, 3D printing significantly shortens production timelines, making it ideal for both prototyping and low-volume manufacturing.
Improved Material Efficiency
By precisely depositing material only where needed, 3D printing supports the development of high-performance, sustainable parts for aerospace applications.
