Process
A controlled process from start to finish.
Supporting critical aerospace applications
- NADCAP accredited processes
- ISO certifications
- Approved aerospace supplier
- Extensive in-house equipment
Step 1
Understanding the requirement
Geometry, tolerances, material, and programme requirements confirmed before any toolpath is generated.
Step 2
In-house manufacture
Machining, EDM, grinding, and finishing under controlled conditions, with traceability throughout. Downstream processing available within the same facility.
Step 3
Validation and delivery
Faro-Arm dimensional inspection confirms every component meets specification. Full documentation to your quality system requirements.
What end-to-end machining actually means.
HycAero’s machining capability is backed by in-house design and CMM inspection, with the option to move components directly into surface treatment, NDT, or heat treatment within buildings on the same site.
Complex requirements managed end-to-end.
From CAD/CAM design to finished component and Faro-Arm inspection.
No dimensional surprises at delivery.
Every component is inspected against specification before it leaves.
Specialist repair capability in-house.
Fuel nozzle repair and blade manufacturing reduce dependency on external specialist suppliers.
Fewer suppliers to manage.
Milling, turning, EDM, grinding, and 3D printing in one facility — with downstream processing available from one business.
