AEROSPACE & DEFENSE
Precision laser scanning, reverse engineering, and dimensional inspection for aerospace OEMs, MROs, and component manufacturers. On-site or in-house. ITAR-compliant workflow.
WHY TANGENT SOLUTIONS
Aerospace components leave no room for error. Whether you’re working with legacy parts that have no original CAD data, validating machined components against design intent, or reverse engineering tooling for remanufacturing — you need a scanning partner with the accuracy, equipment, and aerospace experience to get it right the first time. Tangent Solutions works with OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, MROs, and component manufacturers nationwide.
Portable metrology scanners for airframes, engine components, interiors, and tooling. We travel to your facility and work around your schedule. Accuracy to 0.02mm on any geometry.
Parametric CAD models for legacy parts, design validation, and remanufacturing. Delivered in native SolidWorks, STEP, or IGES — ready for CNC machining or production.
Full-color deviation maps and detailed reporting against CAD or nominal geometry. Clear pass/fail documentation for engineering review and compliance sign-off.
Validate jigs, fixtures, and ground support equipment for accuracy and fit. Catch deviations before they become production problems.
WHO WE WORK WITH
TRUSTED PARTNERS
✓ ITAR-COMPLIANT WORKFLOW
Our mobile scanning teams bring the equipment to your facility. No shipping, no transit risk, no disruption to your production schedule.
Each project delivered in native SolidWorks and STEP/IGES. Not raw scan data — finished, actionable CAD files ready for downstream use.
No original drawings? We digitize, update, and requalify legacy components with full traceability from scan to final deliverable.
Airframes, turbines, weapon systems, fixtures, and ground support equipment. Extensive experience across defense and commercial aerospace programs.
OUR PROCESS
We keep every project clear from day one by defining scope, timeline, and deliverables agreed upfront before any project begins.
