Every aerospace and defence manufacturer eventually encounters one. A component that consistently fails inspection. A part that pushes machining tolerances to their limits. An assembly requiring multiple special processes, extensive documentation, and complete traceability. Or perhaps a legacy component that has become difficult, or impossible, to source.
These aren’t simply CNC machining jobs. They are manufacturing problems. At Pazmac, that’s exactly where our team excels. We are experts at problem solving for problem parts.
We Thrive on Complexity
Many machine shops are built to manufacture parts. We are an organization that has been specifically built to solve manufacturing challenges. When customers approach us with what we call a “problem part,” our first instinct isn’t to quote the drawing. We delve deeper to better understand the application.
Our team combines deep technical expertise, advanced multi-axis machining technology, and collaborative problem-solving to help customers overcome their manufacturing obstacles. We leverage both of our Business and Technology Toolboxes to provide customers with a strong path forward.
We ask a lot of questions, including:
- Why is the part failing?
- Can the machining strategy be improved?
- Is there a better material?
- Can multiple operations be combined?
- Is there a way to improve manufacturability while maintaining performance?
… to name a few.
Our engineering-first approach allows us to become an extension of our customer’s manufacturing team, not simply to become another parts supplier. This collaborative mindset has allowed us to support aerospace and defence programs where precision, repeatability and documentation simply cannot be compromised.
Built for Exacting Aerospace Expectations
Aerospace manufacturers expect more than dimensional accuracy. They require suppliers who understand controlled processes, complete traceability, documented inspections and risk mitigation.
Pazmac’s AS9100D Certified Quality Management System supports every stage of production, from risk-based manufacturing planning through First Article Inspection (AS9102), CMM verification, controlled documentation and complete material traceability.
When every component may become part of a flight-critical system, quality isn’t inspected into the part, it is engineered into the process.
Engineering the Entire Manufacturing Solution
Complex aerospace components rarely involve machining alone. Materials, heat treatment, coatings, grinding, non-destructive testing, assembly and documentation all need to come together seamlessly.
Rather than forcing customers to coordinate multiple vendors, Pazmac can manage the complete manufacturing process through its network of qualified special process partners, delivering fully processed, installation-ready components.
The result is fewer suppliers to manage, reduced schedule risk and complete accountability from one manufacturing partner.
Supporting the Future of North American Aerospace & Defence
As supply chain resilience becomes increasingly important, manufacturers are looking closer to home for manufacturing partners.
As a Canadian-owned precision parts manufacturer with decades of experience supporting highly regulated industries, Pazmac provides aerospace and defence contractors with a dependable North American choice that is capable of producing complex, low-volume, high-mix precision components.
Whether supporting commercial aerospace, maritime systems, defence platforms, subsea technologies or emerging autonomous systems, the company delivers the precision, documentation and manufacturing discipline today’s programs demand.
Bring Us Your Problem Part
At Pazmac, we look for the challenging work that requires engineering collaboration. Because when precision matters, solving a manufacturing problem is every bit as important as producing the precision part.
Our in-house manufacturing expertise makes us uniquely equipped to take on any component design. We welcome the opportunity to prove it. Let us partner in your success by providing unparalleled quality parts, on time deliveries and world-class manufacturing processes that improve profitability.
Whether you’re launching a new aerospace program or qualifying a long-term manufacturing partner, confidence comes from knowing every process is controlled, documented, and fully traceable.
Bring us your problem part. We’ll show you what’s possible.
Expect more.
