Expertise & Certifications

Our Expertise

Design & Industrialisation

DESIGN AND 3D MODELING

3D modelling and design, for which we use Catia V5 software.
Main activities: product concept elaboration and definition, solid and surface 3D modelling, drawing and drafting.

STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS

We are supported by dedicated softwares.
Main activities: verification and structural definition, static and dynamic calculations.

INDUSTRIALIZATION

We industrialise the product with the objective to comply with our customers’ technical
requirements while maintaining the highest quality standards.
Main activities: work cycles and bill of materials processing, production process optimisation.

Composites

LAMINATION

Lamination of composite material is carried out in two clean rooms qualified by Leonardo and Boeing. Our Clean Rooms are equipped with laser projectors, manual and automated ply cutting areas.

CURING & DRYING

For parts requiring heat and pressure curing, a dedicated area with 4 autoclaves with a maximum size of 2.7 x 8.5 m is available. All autoclaves use Eurotherm electronic recording systems, which allows us to guarantee cycles’ segregation in an encrypted digital archive.

HONEYCOMB CORE MILLING

We carry out the cutting and milling of the Honeycomb core, structural element of 'sandwich' panels, through semi-automatic and CNC processes (maximum size 6500 x 2600 x 1300 mm).

Mechanical processing

NC MILLING

We perform mechanical machining of small and medium-sized flight parts on 3-, 4- and 5-axis machining centers with a maximum size of 2.5 x 2.2 x 1.1 meters.

TURNING

We perform mechanical turning machining of small and medium-sized parts on 3- and 6-axis lathes.

CRYOGENIC EQUIPMENT

We design and maintain cryogenic equipment.

Assembly

FIXED WING ASSEMBLY

We assemble medium and large assys and sub-assys, both structural and non-structural, in dedicated temperature and humidity controlled areas.

ROTARY WING ASSEMBLY

We carry out assemblies of small and medium-sized assys and sub-assys.

MECHANICAL ASSEMBLY

We carry out assemblies of sub-assys and small to medium-sized mechanical kits, e.g., helicopters’ pilot and passenger door locks.

Dimensional controls and NDI

NDI CONTROLS

We perform ultrasonic non-destructive testing, for which we use 4-axis machines as well as 2-axis machines. We are qualified by Leonardo and Boeing.

DIMENSIONAL CONTROLS

We perform dimensional controls of large assembled parts, assembly tools, laminating tools and composite parts through MMC arms and laser trackers.

CALIBRATIONS

We carry out calibrations of specific instruments and tools.

Tools, CNC machining, Trimming and Gluing

NC PROCESSING

We carry out automated trimming and contouring of laminated parts. We can contour and drill simple and complex surfaces on parts made of composite materials, plastics and wood using CNC machines.

TRIMMING

We carry out manual trimming and contouring on composite parts. We have a dedicated area for trimming as well as an EMA area for bonding/sealing.

TOOLS

We manufacture and design small and medium-size bonding tools, trimming tools and assembly gigs according to customer specifications and tolerances. We make and certify composite and soft tools.

Manual painting

SANDING AND PREPARATION

We prepare parts for painting by sanding and filling them in dedicated areas.

PAINTING

We apply primers and final paint in special booths with a maximum size of 5.0 x 5.0 x 15.0 meters according to customer's requirements by conducting final product testing.

STRUCTURAL BONDING

We perform structural bonding of metal, plastic and composite parts.

Automated painting

SURFACE TREATMENTS

We carry out treatment of parts prior to painting (washing, phosphodegreasing, surface treatment, drying) on automated systems using dedicated tunnels and blow-drying stations, supported by anthropomorphic robots.

AUTOMATED COATING

We carry out aesthetic painting and protective application on fully automated systems using anthropomorphic robots, pick-to-light technology.

QUALITY CHECKS

We carry out structural sealing of metal, plastic and composite parts.
