Questions we are asked about this category
How long does custom design and production take?
It depends on the complexity of the part and on which approval route applies. An indicative schedule is given after the requirement is defined, not before.
Can you copy an OEM part exactly?
Producing an article that is identical to a type certificate holder's design requires an approval route that permits it, such as identicality or a licensing agreement. We will tell you which route applies before quoting.
