CNC Machining in Florida

When it comes to meeting the demand for CNC machining in Florida, aerospace companies on the Space Coast trust the precision tolerances and advanced material capabilities required for their cutting-edge projects through experienced machine shops like EGM Manufacturing Corporation. With CNC manufacturing becoming one of the fastest-growing industries in the United States, averaging nearly 7.4% annual growth over the last decade, countless new providers have opened their doors for business but not all can provide the levels of precision and experience offered by the experts at EGM.
For over thirty years, EGM, an AS9100-certified company, has provided unparalleled levels of precision CNC machining in Florida to aerospace customers who require fast turnaround times on critical prototypes made from specialty materials. Continue reading to learn more about EGM’s hands-on experience working with Space Coast companies, including the frequent demands and materials required, how AS9100 certification factors into the equation, and the benefits of choosing EGM for any project requiring CNC machining in Florida.
Space Coast Precision CNC Machining
Florida’s aerospace and defense industry is in the midst of unprecedented growth and is currently the 2nd largest state in the United States for aerospace, space, and defense companies. The Sunshine State is home to global leaders and innovators throughout each sector including NASA, Boeing, SpaceX, Blue Origin, and countless other companies looking to continually advance technological capabilities. Each of these companies requires precision CNC machining of prototypes and short-run production machining that meets complex design requirements using specialty metals and strict adherence to tight tolerances.
EGM is more than capable of not only meeting but exceeding machining expectations by combining decades of industry experience and modernized precision CNC turning centers. EGM offers 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis machines capable of machining within 0.001” for plastic materials and 0.0002” for metals, including the specialty metals used in aerospace components.

AS9100 Certified Machine Shop in Florida
Initially developed by the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG), AS9100 certification is based on a set of quality management standards outlined by ISO 9001 and further refined for any machine shop that designs, develops, or manufactures products for the aerospace, space, or defense industries. For many of these companies, maintaining an AS9100 certification is a mandatory prerequisite to even explore the possibility of developing a partnership.
Considering the critical nature and high-performance aspects of machined components used in aerospace or defense applications, following the rigid requirements outlined by AS9100 ensures they can perform as intended. As an AS9100-certified company offering precision CNC machining in Florida, customers can expect EGM to deliver high-quality components with enhanced performance and durability that adhere to the most stringent tolerances and post-machining inspection.

Machined Materials for Aerospace & Other Applications
Since the Wright brothers first took flight in 1903 with an ash frame and cloth-covered glider, the materials used in the aerospace industry, and the precision methods used to machine those parts, have advanced exponentially. As the predominant materials for aerospace and space exploration applications quickly shifted to metals and alloys, high-precision CNC machining equipment allowed designers to further reduce the weight of integral components and withstand tremendous speeds, temperatures, and pressures. EGM is experienced at machining nearly any metal or plastic, but three of the most critical materials to the advancement of the aerospace industry are listed below.
- Aluminum: Aluminum is highly desirable for aerospace applications due to its strength-to-weight ratio and impressive corrosion resistance. There are several distinct alloys used for CNC machining of aerospace components including Aluminum 7075, Alloy 7050, Aluminum 6061, Alloy 6063, and Alloy 7068.
- Titanium: The groundbreaking designs of modern aircraft or spacecraft rely on titanium components to provide unmatched precision and dependability in critical high-performance areas. Titanium components are frequently found in turbines, engine components, and anywhere else where strength and resistance to fluctuating temperatures are crucial to overall performance.
- Inconel: The development of Inconel has been critical to the development of aircraft and spacecraft since its inception in 1932. Officially categorized as a “super-alloy”, Inconel is a nickel-chromium alloy best suited for extreme environments where high temperatures, pressure, and mechanical loads are present. Inconel can be used to machine internal engine components, heat shields, afterburners, and even as instrumentation panels.
