Why FACTUREE is your supplier for aerospace and defense
Resilience and safety are not options. In aerospace and defense manufacturing, they are a basic requirement.
FACTUREE manufactures complex aerospace components and applications for the defense industry in Germany. Be it for aircraft, protection systems, effectors and mobility platforms. Everything with tolerances of over 0.01 mm, complete traceability and complete production from a single source.
FACTUREE is Your sole contractual partner and bears full responsibility. We are not an intermediary, but your direct supplier with a highly specialized, exclusive manufacturing network. Our anti-single-source strategy strengthens your security of supply. Thanks to our network of exclusively certified partners, we guarantee 1001TP3 delivery capability without dependence on individual capacities. This means real sovereignty for your procurement.
The security of your data is our top priority. We guarantee complete identity protection through anonymization: our production partners never know who they are producing for. All technical drawings are handled discreetly, all data flows are highly secure and all communication is subject to the strictest NDAs. The identity of your project therefore remains exclusively protected by us
Whether high-strength steels such as 1.6582 or 42CrMo4, titanium grade 5 or aluminum 7075 - we process the materials that aerospace components and applications in the defense industry require. Complex geometries, extremely tight tolerances, state-of-the-art robotics: Our ISO 9001 and AS 9100-certified manufacturing network meets the most stringent industry requirements - for dual-use technology today and the industry of tomorrow.
Short delivery times are not a contradiction to the highest quality: thanks to parallel capacities, we often realize small series and rapid prototyping for aviation, aerospace and defence within a few weeks.
Procurement of critical components for CERN under the highest requirements
- Customer: CERN - European Organization for Nuclear Research, Geneva
- Industry: Research / High Energy Physics
- Relevance for: Aerospace & Defense | Nuclear & Radiation Protection Technology
- Performance: Steel tubes and steel plates for neutron shielding, approx. 5 tons, incl. raw material, processing, painting, assembly and delivery
Challenge: Safety-critical components with seamless material traceability
CERN needed replacement shields for neutron shielding for the Compact Muon Solenoid Experiment (CMS) at the Large Hadron Collider - the existing structures were radioactively contaminated. The requirements are similar to those in the aerospace and defense sectors: precise, large-scale components, tight time frames, full material traceability and simulation-based approval processes.
The decisive factor was that the exact chemical composition of the steel batch was already available during the quotation phase - the basis for the internal radiation protection simulation and official approval by CERN. A requirement that is also standard for safety and approval-relevant parts in the aerospace and defense industry.
Solution: Digital procurement with complete material documentation
FACTUREE provided the chemical analysis of the planned steel batch before the order was placed. After CERN's internal simulation and confirmation of radiation protection effectiveness, FACTUREE took over the entire supply chain: raw material procurement, CNC machining, painting, assembly and on-time delivery - all from a single source, via an ISO 9001-certified network of over 1,000 manufacturing partners.
Result
- 15 % Cost advantage compared to other European providers
- Fast quotation preparation and on-time delivery
- Flawless incoming inspection, complete material documentation
- Repeat commissioning expressly planned
Transferability to aerospace and defense
The project is an example of how FACTUREE is also suitable for safety-critical applications where material certification, traceability and simulation approval are mandatory. Whether structural components for satellite systems, shielding components for military systems or precision-manufactured parts for radar and sensor technology - FACTUREE delivers the documented quality that is required in regulated industries.

Materials
Our materials for aerospace and defense applications
The right material counts for aerospace and defense. FACTUREE processes the entire range of safety-critical materials - from high-strength steels and titanium alloys to aluminum alloys and high-temperature materials such as Inconel and Waspaloy. Each material is selected and processed precisely according to the mechanical and thermal requirements of your component. Here is an overview of selected materials.
Frequently requested materials
High-strength steels
High-strength steels combine high tensile strength, toughness and wear resistance - indispensable for safety-critical components under extreme mechanical loads. In CNC machining, they require adapted cutting parameters and tools, but deliver components with maximum dimensional accuracy and a long service life. Aerospace, defense and heavy engineering rely on high-strength steels wherever failure is not an option.
Frequently requested:
- 1.6582
- 42CrMo4
- 1.4542
- 17-4PH
Titanium alloys
Titanium has a unique strength-to-weight ratio and excellent corrosion and temperature resistance. Machining is demanding and requires specialized expertise - the result is components that can withstand extreme conditions in engines, aircraft structures and space systems. Titanium is the material of choice when weight and reliability are equally important.
Frequently requested:
- Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V)
- Grade 2
- Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-6Mo
Aluminium alloys
Aluminum combines low weight with high strength and excellent machinability - ideal for complex geometries on 5-axis milling machines with tight tolerances. High-strength grades such as 7075 or 2024 are specifically used where weight reduction and structural integrity are required at the same time. Aerospace and defense industries use aluminum alloys for structural parts, housings and chassis components.
Frequently requested:
- 7075
- 7050
- 2024
- 6061
High-temperature & special materials
Inconel, Hastelloy and Waspaloy retain their mechanical properties even at temperatures well above 1,000 °C. They are resistant to corrosion and oxidation under the most extreme conditions. This makes them indispensable for engine components, combustion chambers and space drives. Machining these materials requires the highest level of expertise and specialized manufacturing processes.
Frequently requested:
- Inconel 718
- Inconel 625
- Hastelloy
- Waspaloy
