Design & Manufacturing

Design & Manufacturing

Z•AERO provides extensive design and manufacturing services for both aerospace and industrial applications. We initiate the design process with brainstorming sessions and hand sketches to explore a wide range of concepts. Next, detailed CAD modeling is used to bring the best design option to fruition ensuring all design objectives have been met with an elegant and buildable solution. This approach allows us to efficiently transition from initial concept to final, functional design.

With a wealth of experience in testing, analysis, and repair, we bring a deep understanding of the design process to every project. If you need it, we can likely design and manufacture it, leveraging our comprehensive expertise to ensure practical and elegant solutions that meet the need of the problem at hand.

Aircraft Design: Our extensive background in aerospace has given us the insight to provide elegant design solutions in any aspect of aircraft design. Our designs are seasoned by our many years of experience responding to failures encountered during testing or in service, sussing out the root cause, and determining the eventual design solution.

Fixture Design: When you test your product, you want to test your product, not your test apparatus. Our test fixture designs do just that, focusing on simply and accurately replicating real world conditions while surviving the vigors of the test. 

Manufacturing: Our manufacturing capabilities pull together the necessary resources to do just about any project. We can support the development, manufacturing, and assembly of any structure, large or small. 

Rapid Prototyping: Our company is small and agile, allowing us to rapidly assist with prototyping and R&D. Our determination makes your ideas a reality.
