AirBorn Manufacturing works with all different types of metals including carbon steel, mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.

Carbon steel and mild steel

Supported when the drawing, specification, thickness, availability, and manufacturing path are confirmed during RFQ review.

Stainless steel

Supported when the drawing, specification, thickness, availability, and manufacturing path are confirmed during RFQ review.

Aluminum

Supported when the drawing, specification, thickness, availability, and manufacturing path are confirmed during RFQ review.

Sheet, plate, tube, and bar stock reviewed by print

Supported when the drawing, specification, thickness, availability, and manufacturing path are confirmed during RFQ review.

Customer-specified grades and finishes

Supported when the drawing, specification, thickness, availability, and manufacturing path are confirmed during RFQ review.

Material review

Material choices are confirmed against process, tolerances, finish, and availability.

AirBorn reviews material callouts before production so laser cutting, CNC machining, welding, fabrication, finishing, and inspection expectations stay aligned with the drawing package.

For RFQs, include the requested grade, thickness or stock form, coating or finish notes, quantity, and whether substitutions are allowed. Those details help the team evaluate manufacturability, lead time, production repeatability, and purchasing requirements.

Material review also helps align cutting edge quality, machining workholding, weld fit-up, deburring, coating preparation, and final inspection with the part's intended production use.

When a drawing calls out a customer-controlled specification, AirBorn treats that requirement as part of quote review so purchasing, production planning, and inspection can stay connected before work begins.

The goal is to make each material decision practical for the part, the process, the finish, and the buyer's production schedule before the job is released.

Clear material notes also reduce avoidable clarification cycles during quote review planning.

Helpful material details

  • Carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, or customer-specified grade
  • Sheet, plate, tube, bar, or formed-part requirements
  • Critical tolerances, cosmetic expectations, and inspection notes
  • Prototype, short-run, or repeat production quantity context

Send material grade, thickness, and drawing notes with your RFQ.

Accepted quote files include DXF, DWG, STEP, and PDF drawings.
