Our facility can accommodate large-scale fabrication and assembly from discrete components to full top-level assemblies.

We combine design and manufacturing expertise to reverse engineer existing parts or design new components while manufacturing them to stringent quality standards.

Our ability to understand the complete aircraft along with the integrated structural components helps us better design and fabricate composite parts and assemblies for the aviation community.

Assembly & Integration

VX has over a decade of fabrication and assembly experience producing RFI (Ready for Installation) parts and assemblies for commercial and DoD customers.

We take pride in our ability to provide our customers with original design support and timely and collaborative consultations to ensure an efficient and exact final assembly.

Rapid Prototyping

VX provides its clients with rapid prototype development using low temperature direct machined molds. This saves time and money for short run and prototype parts.

All prototype design is geared towards development into full rate production to minimize redesign time between initial prototype, first article, and production. We utilize our large on-site oven to produce out-of-autoclave oven cured composite parts including both resin transfer molding and vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding processes. This allows us to provide our clients with high strength parts with ideal dimensional tolerances and exceptional part quality.
