Why UAV Companies Choose McCarty Fabrication

Lightweight Aluminum Specialists

UAV and drone systems depend on rigid, lightweight aluminum components. We machine 6061 and 7075 with clean surface finishes, accurate hole locations, and consistent repeatability.

Fast Prototyping for Rapid Development Cycles

Drone and UAV engineering moves quickly. We provide fast quoting, short lead times, and small-batch machining for rapid testing and iteration.

Precision for Multi-Part Assemblies

UAV components must assemble cleanly and maintain structural rigidity. Our machining supports precise geometry for frames, mounts, and modular accessory hardware.

Competitive Rural Pricing with National Reach

Lower overhead allows us to deliver competitive pricing, American-made quality, and direct communication without big-shop delays.
