Streamline defense component engineering with CNC machining and scalable on-demand manufacturing 

Your One-Stop Shop for Defense Manufacturing Needs

Compliance-Ready Manufacturing

Maintain regulatory alignment with ITAR, AS9100, and MIL-SPEC through structured documentation, traceable processes, and audit-ready quality systems.

Tolerance-Critical Production

Achieve dimensional accuracy and material integrity using calibrated equipment, certified alloys, and rigorous in-process quality inspection protocols.

Agile Part Development

Enable fast design iterations and small-batch production using flexible CNC machining, modular workflows, and adaptive digital manufacturing systems.

Our Clients

Ensure Dimensional Integrity in Complex Assemblies

Defense-grade components demand inspection standards that go beyond conventional measuring tools. Maintaining dimensional accuracy is essential to prevent downstream failure in mission-critical systems. 

Advanced Metrology Implementation

Utilization of high-precision equipment such as Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM), optical scanners, and surface profilometers enables accurate validation of complex geometries and micro-tolerances.

GD&T Compliance Assurance

Full integration of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) principles ensures components meet true position, flatness, and profile constraints as defined in the engineering drawings. 

Risk Mitigation for Fit and Function

By validating critical dimensions at each stage, deviations that may cause interference, misalignment, or vibration in final assemblies are eliminated before deployment.

Optimize Short-Run Manufacturing for Defense Needs

Defense manufacturing often requires multiple low-quantity part types with differing materials, tolerances, and features—without compromising precision or repeatability. 

Agile Process Control

Modular production cells and adaptable workflows enable fast changeovers, minimal downtime, and consistency across short production runs with varying specifications.

Tooling and Fixture Adaptability

Using configurable fixturing, quick-change tooling, and standardized setup protocols allows the handling of diverse SKUs without excessive retooling effort or dimensional drift.

Data-Driven Production Management

Integrating digital routers and part-specific work instructions ensures accurate process tracking and repeatability across unique, non-recurring part numbers.

Establish a Continuous Digital Thread Across Systems

Disconnected systems between design, production, and quality control introduce errors that compromise traceability, audit readiness, and end-use performance in defense applications. 

Cross-Platform Data Synchronization

Seamless integration between CAD, CAM, QA, and ERP platforms ensures every engineering change or tolerance update is reflected across all production stages.

Version and Revision Control

Centralized digital systems manage file versions, work instructions, and inspection plans, minimizing the risk of outdated data being used in manufacturing or QC. 

Full Lifecycle Traceability

A connected digital thread enables real-time tracking of material sources, inspection outcomes, and part revisions—crucial for compliance, maintenance, and defense audits.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

How does Frigate manage drawing revisions and engineering change orders (ECOs) during active production?

Frigate integrates CAD and ERP systems to link every job with the current revision. Once an ECO is approved, the updated model, toolpaths, and inspection plans are synced automatically. This prevents outdated files from reaching the shop floor and ensures that no obsolete version is used during machining or inspection. 

What quality control systems are in place at Frigate to support MIL-STD and AS9100 requirements?

Frigate operates under AS9100-aligned quality protocols. All parts undergo First Article Inspection (FAI), In-Process Inspection (IPI), and Final Inspection with full documentation. Quality data is logged digitally and retained to meet defense compliance and customer-specific document retention policies. 

How does Frigate ensure reliable part validation for non-prismatic or freeform surfaces in defense assemblies?

Frigate uses high-resolution 3D scanning and point cloud comparison to validate complex geometries. Parts with organic or freeform features are compared directly to CAD using deviation mapping, ensuring surface fidelity and critical functional interfaces are within spec.

Can Frigate support serialization and lot tracking across mixed-material defense builds?

Yes, Frigate embeds part-level serialization with barcoding or laser marking and links it to lot-specific material certs, process records, and inspection reports. This is critical for defense programs requiring cradle-to-grave traceability across aluminum, steel, and exotic alloy builds.

How does Frigate handle the simultaneous manufacturing of multiple defense SKUs with unique inspection criteria?

Frigate deploys part-specific inspection programs tied to each SKU. The QA system auto-loads the correct plan based on job ID, ensuring that unique GD&T, surface finish, and dimensional checks are applied correctly, even in mixed-run production environments.
