Meeting the Challenges of Today’s Defense Contractors and MIL-Spec Applications:

Strict Quality Control and Precision Manufacturing Standards

Many of today’s cutting-edge military products demand high-precision, complex machining capabilities. At RDS, we meet even the most challenging design and tolerance specifications through our comprehensive CNC machining capabilities and post-machining processes. Our integrated services ensure higher quality (following AS9100D standards) while giving your project a single point of contact and accountability.
