Ramping Up Missile Production?

Fathom has extensive experience building the precision metal parts that support missile, launcher, and subsystem builds. That includes parts like brackets, mounts, retainers, housings, covers, adapter blocks, machined interfaces, manifolds, couplers and support hardware. With fast-turn capacity available now, Fathom can help relieve pressure on your production schedules.

As your missile programs ramp, fabricated sheet metal parts can quickly become gating items, especially in launcher hardware, support equipment, packaging and missile-adjacent assemblies. Fathom can support these needs with fast-turn production of brackets, trays, covers, housings, panels, retainers, access covers, enclosures, shields, stiffeners, formed supports and more.

For many missile programs, some of the most urgent shortages are also the smallest parts. Shims, washers, screens, filters, EMI shielding details, clips, spring features, tags, identification plates and precision thin blanks can all delay production when they are hard to source or need rapid design updates. Photochemical machining doesn’t require hard tooling and can be used to quickly iterate designs for thin, flat, burr-free parts.

Fathom has two decades of experience in polymer additive. We can help you with bridge and support work: jigs, fixtures, inspection tooling, lightweight brackets, near-net metal parts that can be finish-machined. Additive is especially valuable for qualification lots, tooling, engineering-change support and programs that need to keep moving while conventional supply chains catch up. It can also help you reduce cycle times and maintain production momentum on tight timeframe projects.
