Non-Flight-Critical Initial Scope
CNC Machining for Aerospace-Related Prototypes and Tooling
Formexi evaluates aerospace-related prototypes, ground-support components, test hardware and tooling within verified material, process and inspection capability. Until AS9100 certification and approved flight-part evidence are verified, Formexi does not claim flight-critical aerospace production.
Appropriate Initial Scope
- Engineering prototypes and test components
- Assembly, drilling and inspection tooling
- Ground-support and laboratory equipment parts
- Non-flight-critical brackets, housings and adapters
- Development components controlled by customer approval
Aerospace Requirements Beyond Geometry
| Requirement | Question before acceptance |
|---|---|
| Material traceability | Approved source, heat/lot, standard and certificate? |
| Special process | Customer-approved processor and certificate? |
| Inspection | FAI, CMM, key characteristics and report format? |
| Configuration | Drawing revision, change approval and record retention? |
| Export control | Jurisdiction, technical-data and end-use restrictions? |
Materials and Multi-Axis Work
7075, titanium, stainless and specialty alloys may be relevant, but alloy capability does not equal aerospace approval. Five-axis machining may reduce setups on complex geometry; machine, program, inspection and special-process sources still require verification.
Certification and Export Boundary
Formexi has not supplied a verified AS9100 certificate. ITAR, EAR or other controlled technical data requires legal review and an authorized handling process; a standard NDA alone is insufficient.
Evidence Required
Publish aerospace-related cases only with approved scope, non-flight-critical status where applicable, material/process records and customer authorization.
Standards and Regulatory Sources Used on This Page
For CNC Machining for Aerospace-Related Prototypes and Tooling, these primary sources define the scope of cited standards or regulations. They do not prove Formexi certification, a customer approval or project compliance; those require current, scope-matched records.
Define the Project Controls for CNC Machining for Aerospace-Related Prototypes and Tooling
For CNC Machining for Aerospace-Related Prototypes and Tooling, state the part function and risk class, customer specifications, approved material and special-process sources, traceability level, change-control rules, record retention and nonconformance approval path. Add cleanliness, contamination, ESD, cosmetic, packaging or export restrictions where applicable.
Industry use does not by itself prove certification or suitability. Confirm the legal manufacturing entity, certification scope and project-specific documentation before supplier approval.
State the Part Criticality and Approval Requirements
Send application, criticality, material source, special processes, inspection, traceability and export status.
