Quality Focused AS9100 Certified Machine Shop

Cutter Innovations is a Colorado-based AS9100 certified machine shop & manufacturing company specializing in the precision machining of exotic metals and product development. At our state-of-the-art precision CNC machine shop, our talented staff has over 50 combined years of experience and is capable of delivering tight tolerances in exotic materials, on time, and to your specifications.

Our engineers have industry-recognized expertise in solid modeling (Certified SolidWorks Professionals) and specialize in assisting our Customers with product development. We’re able to offer our Clients the following capabilities:

AS9100 Certified Machine Shop

We're more than an ISO Certified Machine Shop. We're an AS9100 Certified Machine Shop. We’ve developed, implemented, maintained, and streamlined our quality management system conforming to AS9100 requirements.

Prototyping

Cutter utilizes a portfolio of state-of-the-art 5-axis work centers capable of achieving tight tolerances, true positions, and GD&T requirements on the first part. We are able to pass on savings in setup pieces and material costs to our Customers. Exotic material prototyping is a core strength.

Manufacturing

With over 12,000 square feet of manufacturing space, Cutter continues to add machine technology to improve our capabilities and add value to our Customers. We utilize 5S principles as well as lean manufacturing initiatives to align our technology in a way that provides maximum efficiency and machine up time. Automated 5-axis production as well as advanced work holding and fixturing leads to significant capacity gains over a conventional shop.

Engineering

With our extensive experience in R&D, we work with Clients hand in hand to achieve their goals and maintain intellectual property protection throughout development. Capabilities include advanced SolidWorks modeling, Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA), and the sourcing of special outside operations.

Inspection

Our precision machine shop utilizes meticulous measurement inspection technology within a temperature-controlled environment. We employ programmable vision systems, scanning CMM technology, and calibrated and controlled metrology tools to ensure quality and repeatability.

Management

We return quotes for prototypes and short-run production work within 48 hours, in most cases. We are an ‘open book’ Company and will share our costing with our Customers to ensure 100% transparency in the bidding process.

Quality Assurance

We maintain strong practices and procedures to ensure quality control and Customer satisfaction.

Your Choice for Precision Aerospace Machining

The Challenge

The machining of precision parts presents aerospace machine shops with a number of unique challenges including:

  • The size and the shape of the components result in highly complex contours that require 5 axis CNC machining to ensure precision.
  • The components must be machined in accordance with quality control guidelines to meet extremely tight tolerances.
  • The metals used to create the aerospace engine parts are typically hard and high-temperature resistant which makes them difficult to machine.
  • Additional materials such as lightweight aluminum, special alloys, and carbon-fiber composites also need to be worked into the manufacturing process.
The Solution

Cutter Innovations

At Cutter Innovations, we provide a custom-built service designed to precisely meet all of your aerospace parts manufacturing requirements.

  • Our quotes are easy to understand and are delivered in a timely manner, with open-book bidding on request.
  • We use state-of-the-art 5-axis machines and specialized software in our aerospace machine shop to manufacture parts that meet our Customers’ precise needs.
  • Our high-quality vendor network enables us to handle all aspects of component manufacturing.
  • Through innovation and engineering excellence, our highly skilled staff enable us to deliver components more economically and more efficiently than other aerospace components manufacturers.
  • As you would expect from a company like Cutter Innovations, ALL of our work is totally quality controlled and guaranteed.
