Aerospace CNC Machining Services

Precision • Prototyping • American-Made • Nationwide Shipping

The aerospace industry demands accuracy, reliability, and fast turnaround — especially for prototype components, test fixtures, and engineering support parts.
At McCarty Fabrication, we provide precision 3-axis CNC machining for aerospace engineering teams, R&D labs, UAV/drone companies, and aerospace suppliers across the United States.

We specialize in quick-turn aluminum machining, small-batch runs, brackets, housings, tooling plates, and non-flight-critical components.

Everything is manufactured in our Kentucky shop and shipped nationwide with consistent, dependable communication.
