Intro
At the 2025 Aerospace Manufacturing Technology & Process Innovation Summit, experts highlighted that the next 5 years of aerospace production will rely heavily on:
- Lightweight metal materials
- High-precision CNC machining
- Customized structural components
This creates significant opportunities for metal machining suppliers.
1.Why Aerospace Demand for Precision Parts Is Growing
Key reasons:
- Aircraft components are becoming lighter (aluminum, titanium alloys)
- More components require custom, non-standard CNC structures
- Higher corrosion & fatigue resistance requirements
- Tight tolerance and high consistency are mandatory
→ Professional precision machining is essential.
2.Capabilities Most Favored in Aerospace Supply Chain
These were repeatedly mentioned:
- High-precision CNC milling & turning
- Aluminum 6061/7075 machining
- Stainless steel 304/316 structural parts
- Complex surfaces, multi-hole, multi-process machining
- Anodizing, sandblasting, laser engraving
3.Why Aerospace Buyers Choose China for Precision Machining
- High-accuracy equipment
- Experienced engineers
- Excellent cost-performance
- Fast delivery, small-batch friendly
- Advanced surface finishing
