Aerospace manufacturing

Houston is home to NASA and the Johnson Space Center, and the aerospace supply chain that surrounds them. Star Precision has the 5-axis milling, CMM inspection and ISO 9001 quality system to machine and fabricate brackets, chassis, tight-tolerance components and assemblies to aerospace-grade tolerances.

Overview

Precision parts for the space city

Aerospace parts leave no room for guesswork. Tolerances are tight, materials are demanding and every dimension has to be proven. Star Precision brings 5-axis machining, in-house fabrication and CMM inspection to that work, right here in the Houston region.

We machine and fabricate brackets, chassis, housings, fixtures and precision components to the tight tolerances aerospace and space programs demand, then verify them with automated CMM and laser quality inspection. Keeping cutting, machining, finishing and assembly under one roof means fewer suppliers to qualify and a clear, single chain of accountability for your parts.

How we work

From print to certified part

1

Quote and DFM review

Send drawings, CAD or a sample part. We review for manufacturability and quote fast, flagging tolerance or fixturing risks early.

2

Machine to print

5-axis Haas mills and multi-axis lathes cut the part to spec in one setup, holding the tight tolerances aerospace geometry demands.

3

Wire EDM complex profiles

Our Fanuc Wire EDM machines cut intricate profiles and hard materials that milling alone cannot reach.

4

Fabricate supporting structure

Chassis, brackets and enclosures are laser cut, formed and welded in-house when a build calls for sheet metal.

5

Verify on CMM

Every critical dimension is checked on a Hexagon CMM accurate to 0.00007 in, with first-article inspection before we run the lot.

6

Package and certify

Parts ship labeled and packaged, with inspection reports and material certifications available on request.

Why Star Precision

Your turnkey contract manufacturing partner

As a turnkey contract manufacturer, we run metal fabrication, CNC machining and full electronics manufacturing under one roof, so your project never has to leave our hands. From raw material to a tested, finished product, one Star Precision team is accountable for every step, not three different vendors.

Why choose us

A manufacturing partner you can rely on, every time

More than 30 years serving Houston OEMs and Fortune 500 manufacturers with dependable delivery and verifiable quality. Because metal fabrication, machining and electronics all live under one roof, you deal with one accountable team instead of juggling separate vendors.

Our ISO 9001 quality system, IPC and J-STD certified processes are backed by decades of hands-on know-how, and we are as ready to help refine a design as we are to run full production. When another shop is a better fit for a job, we will tell you, because a straight answer is what keeps customers coming back.

Frequently asked questions

What does Star Precision manufacture?

We are a turnkey contract manufacturer. That means metal fabrication and tube laser cutting, precision CNC machining and Wire EDM, and full electronics manufacturing (PCB assembly, electro-mechanical box build, and cable and wire harness assembly), plus design-for-manufacturability and manufacturing support, all in-house since 1992.

What makes Star Precision a one-stop shop?

Because fabrication, machining and electronics assembly all happen under one roof, we can take a project from raw material and bare board through to a finished, tested and packaged product without handing it off between outside vendors. You get one supplier, one point of contact and one team accountable for the whole build.

Where are you located?

Northwest Houston, Texas, in two facilities. Our Brystone Drive plant (5410 Brystone Drive) houses metal fabrication, and Brittmoore Park Drive (11236 Brittmoore Park Drive) runs machining, electronics and assembly. Both are in Houston, TX 77041.

Are you ISO certified?

Yes. Star Precision is ISO 9001 certified. Our electronics processes are IPC-A-610, IPC/WHMA-A-620 and J-STD-001 certified, with an ESD-safe department, and we use CMM and laser quality inspection for dimensional accuracy.

What materials do you work with?

For fabrication and machining we work in mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper and brass, plus a wide range of electronic components for PCB and electro-mechanical assembly. If you are unsure what suits your part, our team can advise during a design review.

What are your fabrication and machining capabilities?

Sheet metal laser cutting up to 60 x 120 in and up to 1.00 in steel, NC punching and forming on a 220-ton, 14 ft brake, and fiber tube laser cutting of tube up to 30 ft raw and parts up to 236 in. On the machining side we run 5-axis milling, multi-axis turning and Wire EDM, verified by automated CMM inspection.

What electronics assembly do you offer?

SMT, through-hole and mixed-technology PCB assembly, single and double sided, managed by MES software and verified with SPI, AOI, X-ray and functional testing, with conformal coating and potting available. We also build cable and wire harness assemblies and integrate everything into complete electro-mechanical box builds.

Do you handle both prototypes and production?

Yes. We support the full lifecycle, from design-for-manufacturability and prototypes through first article inspection to low and high volume production, so the same partner that helps refine your design can also scale it.

Which industries do you serve?

We build for oil, gas and energy, aerospace and space, defense and military, medical and scientific instruments, electronics, data and telecom, industrial and OEM equipment, architectural metals, food equipment, solar and alternative energy, robotics, automotive, consumer electronics, security and surveillance, agriculture, HVAC and building automation, retail and point of sale, and marine, among others.
