Aerospace Manufacturing R&D

Reducing the Risk of Innovation

Aerospace manufacturers face growing production backlogs, high operating costs, and complex component geometries with tight tolerances that constantly threaten profitability and increase the risks associated with innovation. Quad City Manufacturing Laboratory (QCML) provides R&D capabilities, such as design for additive manufacturing, enabling part redesign and part consolidation to achieve your manufacturing and performance objectives.

Leveraging the latest additive manufacturing, robotics, and materials joining technology, QCML helps improve the design of aerospace components to take advantage of additive manufacturing, in order to reduce costs and meet production objectives. QCML’s expert engineers find methods to produce even the most complex components, helping at every step from concept to prototype to full production.
