Aerospace CNC Machining in Canada

VisionForge machines aerospace parts on a 2025 Matsuura MX-520 simultaneous 5-axis centre and a Fanuc Robodrill α-T14iAL, in a climate-controlled facility held at 20°C ±1°. In-house tolerance ±0.0001". AS9100D is in process. CGP registration is under Government of Canada review. Based in Mississauga, Ontario, serving Canadian and US aerospace OEMs and their tiered suppliers.

What aerospace buyers actually screen for

Aerospace supply chains screen on four things, in order: cert posture, equipment fit, material coverage, and paperwork discipline. We address each directly:

• Cert posture. AS9100D is in process. We are not yet certified and do not claim to be. Many of our aerospace customers onboard us under a supplier-approval agreement while certification completes, so first-article and low-volume work can start without waiting. CGP registration is under Government of Canada review — the Designated Official exam has been passed. See Quality & Certifications.
• Equipment fit. A 2025 Matsuura MX-520 simultaneous 5-axis machining centre with 20k RPM spindle and 1 micron repeatable accuracy, plus a palletized Fanuc Robodrill α-T14iAL for 3-axis work. Both machines live in a facility held at 20°C ±1° so thermal drift doesn't move tolerances between setups.
• Material coverage. Ti-6Al-4V, Inconel 625, Inconel 718, 17-4 PH stainless (H900, H1025, H1150), Invar 36, 304/316/416 stainless, 6061-T6 and 7075-T6 aluminum, and engineered plastics including PEEK and G10. Certifications traceable to the mill on request.
• Paperwork discipline. FAI and PPAP support, in-process inspection logs, material certs in the box, and a single accountable contact through quote, first article, and production.

What VisionForge brings to aerospace work

• Simultaneous 5-axis machining for impellers, blisks, structural brackets, fittings, and compound-contour housings. Fewer setups means lower cumulative tolerance stack and shorter lead time on complex aerospace parts.
• Palletized lights-out runs for low- and mid-volume aerospace production on the MX-520. That capacity reduces per-piece cost on the 10–500 piece orders that dominate aerospace tiered-supplier work.
• Climate-controlled thermal environment held at 20°C ±1° across the facility. For thin-wall titanium and Invar work, that's the difference between holding ±0.0001" and chasing thermal drift across a shift.
• Prototype-through-production continuity on the same machine. First-article parts and the production follow-on run on the same spindle, the same fixture, and the same operator team — no re-proofing between phases.
• Partner operations under ISO 9001 for live-tool turning, precision grinding, and CMM inspection to ±0.0002". Partner flow is coordinated through VisionForge on one RFQ, one PO, and one accountable contact.

Typical aerospace parts we machine

• Structural brackets and fittings in Ti-6Al-4V and 7075-T6
• Housings and manifolds with internal cross-drillings
• Impellers, blisks, and compound-contour rotating parts
• Mounting plates and instrument bodies in Invar 36 where thermal stability matters
• Hydraulic manifolds and valve bodies
• Low-volume production, 1–500 piece runs, with FAI at first article
• Prototype and iteration parts ahead of production release
• Defence-adjacent aerospace components (discussed once CGP registration is confirmed) — see defence machining

If the part would take three or four setups on a 3-axis mill, it usually belongs on the MX-520.

Materials we machine for aerospace

• Titanium: Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5), Grade 2 CP
• Superalloys: Inconel 625, Inconel 718
• Stainless: 17-4 PH in H900, H1025, and H1150 heat treat conditions, plus 304, 316, 416
• Thermally stable: Invar 36 for instrument-grade mounts and dimensionally stable structures
• Aluminum: 6061-T6, 7075-T6, 2024
• Engineered plastics: PEEK, G10, Acetal

In-house vibratory finishing is available as a machining add-on for deburring, edge break, and pre-coating surface prep, keeping the part inside our quality system from cut to ship.

Quality system and aerospace documentation

• In-house tolerance: ±0.0001" on both the MX-520 and the Robodrill.
• Partner CMM inspection: to ±0.0002" through an ISO 9001 partner, with inspection reports delivered with the parts.
• FAI and PPAP support: first-article inspection packages, process capability data, and PPAP-style documentation on request.
• Material certifications: on request, traceable to the mill, retained per job.
• Process control: climate-controlled facility at 20°C ±1°, in-process probing on the MX-520, thermal compensation on the spindle.
• Cert status (exact phrasing): AS9100D in process. CGP registration under Government of Canada review. ISO 9001 partner operations for turning, grinding, and CMM inspection.

How to engage

• Send a drawing or STEP file. PDF plus 3D model preferred. We quote from GD&T, not from a photo.
• DFM feedback during quoting. If a feature will fight the fixture or force an extra op, we flag it in the quote — not after first article.
• Single point of accountability. One contact through RFQ, first article, and production.
• Supplier onboarding. We can complete your supplier package and work under a supplier-approval agreement while AS9100D completes.
• Turnaround. 2–3 day ship on critical parts where scheduling allows; standard lead time quoted per job.

FAQ

Is VisionForge AS9100D certified?

AS9100D certification is in process. We are not yet certified and do not claim to be. Many of our aerospace customers work with us under a supplier-approval agreement while certification completes.

Can VisionForge handle controlled-goods aerospace work?

CGP (Controlled Goods Program) registration is currently under Government of Canada review. The Designated Official exam has been passed and the application is with the government. We can discuss controlled-goods programs once CGP status is confirmed.

What aerospace materials do you machine?

Ti-6Al-4V, Inconel 625, Inconel 718, 17-4 PH (H900, H1025, H1150), 304/316/416 stainless, 6061-T6 and 7075-T6 aluminum, 2024 aluminum, Invar 36, plus engineered plastics including PEEK and G10. Material certifications are available on request, traceable to the mill.

What tolerances can you hold for aerospace parts?

±0.0001" in-house on the 2025 Matsuura MX-520 and the Fanuc Robodrill α-T14iAL, with 1 micron repeatable accuracy on the MX-520. Final CMM verification to ±0.0002" is available through our ISO 9001 partner.

Do you provide FAI and PPAP documentation?

Yes. First-article inspection packages and PPAP-style documentation are available on request, including process capability data and material certifications.

Do you run low-volume aerospace production, or only prototypes?

Both. Prototype and first-article work run on the same MX-520 that handles low- and mid-volume production (10–500 piece runs), so there is no re-proofing between prototype and production.

Where are you located, and who do you serve?

1578 Finfar Ct, Unit #2, Mississauga, Ontario. We serve Canadian aerospace OEMs and tiered suppliers across Ontario and the rest of Canada, plus US aerospace programs that accept Canadian-sourced supply.
