Prototyping in the eVTOL Industry

The eVTOL Industry demands the highest standards of safety and reliability. XM Group’s capabilities in metal 3D printing and multi-axis CNC machining services are essential for quickly producing complex, lightweight, and robust components for airframes, propulsion systems, and landing gear.

Our Capabilities

Metal 3D printing allows for the creation of complex, lightweight parts with excellent strength-to-weight ratios, ideal for aerospace applications. This technology enables the rapid production of custom geometries that reduce the weight of aircraft components while maintaining the structural integrity needed for critical flight systems.

Key Applications:

  • Complex engine components
  • Lightweight structural parts
  • Heat exchangers and fluid systems
  • Custom brackets and support assemblies

XM Group’s 5-axis CNC machining services provide the tight tolerances and precision engineering required for aerospace components. From high-strength materials like titanium and aluminum alloys to intricate geometries, CNC machining ensures your prototypes meet the stringent requirements of flight.

Key Applications:

  • Engine casings and turbine blades
  • Flight control system components
  • Aerospace brackets and mounts
  • Gearboxes and transmission components

Our rapid tooling services enable the creation of molds and tooling for testing and pre-production of aerospace parts. This is particularly useful for testing custom components in low-volume production runs, allowing engineers to evaluate real-world performance before committing to large-scale production.

Key Applications:

  • Custom tooling for aerospace parts
  • Testing prototypes of landing gear components
  • Molded housings and protective covers
  • Flight control system enclosures

In addition to prototyping, XM Group offers low-volume production services that allow you to produce small batches of aerospace components for testing, pre-production, or specialized applications. This flexible production option is ideal for creating high-quality parts without the long lead times of traditional manufacturing.

Key Applications:

  • Pre-production parts for testing and validation
  • Custom parts for experimental aircraft
  • Spare parts for critical aerospace systems
  • Limited-run components for specialized missions

Applications

Our aerospace prototyping solutions serve a variety of critical applications, including:

  • Engines and Propulsion Systems: High-performance engine components and fuel systems
  • Flight Control Systems: Actuators, brackets, and control linkages
  • Structural Components: Lightweight frames, fuselage parts, and mounting brackets
  • Thermal Management: Heat exchangers and cooling systems
  • Landing Gear and Suspension Systems: Durable and high-strength components for landing gear assemblies

Frequently Asked Questions.

We support all major CAD formats:
STEP, IGES, STL, SLDPRT, X_T, PARASOLID (and more).
Our engineers will review your design for manufacturability (DFM) and provide optimization suggestions before production begins.

We offer a wide range of materials for various manufacturing processes, including:

  • Metals (Aluminum, Steel, Titanium, etc.)
  • Plastics (ABS, Nylon, Polycarbonate, etc.)
  • Composites and specialized materials depending on the application. We also provide material consultation to help you select the most suitable materials for your project.

Absolutely. Our 5-axis CNC machining centers (±0.01mm) and industrial 3D printers excel at:

  • Intricate designs, thin walls, and internal features

  • Tolerances down to ±0.025mm for critical dimensions

  • Challenging materials (e.g., Inconel, PEEK, tool steels)

Absolutely! We offer a wide range of surface finishes and post-processing options to enhance both the appearance and functionality of your parts. Whether you need polishing, anodizing, painting, or another specific finish, we can accommodate your requirements.

Lead times vary depending on the service and project complexity. Rapid prototyping can typically be completed within a few days, while more complex manufacturing projects such as low-volume production or tooling may take longer. Once we receive your project specifications, we’ll provide a detailed timeline.
