Frequently Asked Questions from Ridgecrest Clients
Can I pick up my parts in Ridgecrest?
We do not have a physical location in Ridgecrest. All parts are manufactured at our advanced facility in Idaho and shipped directly to your site. This model enables us to offer superior cost-effectiveness and a wider range of services compared to localized solutions in Southern California.
Do you handle ITAR-compliant projects for defense contractors?
Yes. We frequently work with defense contractors and understand the stringent requirements for ITAR projects. Please contact our sales team directly to discuss your specific compliance needs, or request an NDA before uploading sensitive files.
What materials are best for aerospace/defense components?
For aerospace and defense applications, we often recommend materials like Carbon-Filled Nylon (for high strength-to-weight ratio), PEEK (for high-temperature applications), and various metal alloys via DMLS (e.g., Aluminum, Inconel) for functional parts.
