CNC Programming – What is it?

May 15, 2023

CNC programming is a critical part of modern manufacturing. Most machining is now done on CNC machines instead of older manually operated equipment. The primary reason is that CNC machines offer improved quality and productivity over manual machines. At Intrex Aerospace, we have made significant investments in CNC equipment. Our engineering staff, some with 40+ years […]

The Benefits of Using Contract CNC Machining

May 04, 2023

Many companies with a product offering do not always have the in-house capabilities to produce some or all of their products. They rely on outside sourcing to produce some or all their components. Many aerospace/space/defense components have complex shapes in various materials. Machining complex shapes to exacting tolerances and standards usually requires CNC equipment. There […]

Why You Should Consider Pursuing a Manufacturing Career

Apr 17, 2023

For years in this country, manufacturing jobs were considered low-paying, uninteresting, repetitive, and “dirty.” Unfortunately, this mistaken mischaracterization has been the public’s and our education system’s overall perception for quite some time. In recent years that perception has begun to chan. We are once again realizing the important role manufacturing plays in all facets of […]

CNC Precision Machining is a Good Fit for Aerospace Manufacturing?

Mar 30, 2023

The following article was published written by James Duggins and published in the ThomasNet, Technology section, Thomas Insights May 31, 2022. Much of the machining done in manufacturing today is accomplished with precision CNC machine tools. This precision machining usually involves the processes of turning, milling, or a combination of the two. CNC precision machining […]

What makes us competitive !

Jan 24, 2023

CNC Aerospace Contract Machining – What Makes Us Competitive There are many forces that influence the direction of a CNC aerospace contract manufacturer. Identifying and correctly responding to these forces can be the difference between success and failure. Some forces are external and out of our control. Others are internal and controllable. Having the […]

CNC – What does it stand for?

Aug 26, 2022

The most common type of equipment used in metal removal machining today is CNC machines. CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines have electronic controls that make axis and spindle movements using digitized data. The digitized data is commonly generated using a CAD (Computer Aided Design) program, which makes a part drawing. The CAD-generated drawing is processed […]
