Certifications, Compliance & Cyber Security
At XTPROTO, our comprehensive Quality Management System (QMS) is strictly certified to ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D standards, establishing a foundation of absolute precision and reliability. Recognizing that data security is just as critical as physical hardware in modern aerospace, our operations are fully compliant with NIST SP 800-171 cybersecurity protocols. This robust digital infrastructure guarantees the total protection of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and proprietary CAD files. By seamlessly embedding stringent military-grade cybersecurity into our production workflows, XTPROTO eliminates supply chain vulnerabilities from the cloud to the shop floor, ensuring your sensitive aerospace projects are delivered both flawlessly and securely.
End-to-End Traceability & Flawless Documentation
We look past the aerospace component to deliver the bulletproof data packages that mission-critical compliance demands. XTPROTO enforces strict lot and batch control across the entire lifecycle, maintaining 100% material traceability back to the original mill heat number. Our supply chain excellence is further reinforced through rigorous risk analysis prior to production and strategic collaboration with NADCAP-certified partners for special processes like heat treatment and plating. Every shipment is accompanied by an audit-ready data package—including Mill Test Reports (MTRs), Certificates of Conformance (CoC), and AS9102 First Article Inspection (FAI) reports—giving you full accountability and a frictionless path through FAA, NASA, or defense audits.
Advanced Metrology & High-Precision Verification
To validate micron-level tolerances and complex geometries, XTPROTO combines cutting-edge manufacturing with advanced metrology equipment. Our quality assurance team utilizes state-of-the-art Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM) driven by powerful software that inspects complex parts directly against your digital CAD models, ensuring rapid, highly repeatable, and cost-effective verification. From X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) spectrometers for raw material composition testing to automated optical comparators and surface roughness testers, we monitor quality at every stage—including Incoming Quality Control (IQC), in-process batch checking, and final dimensional inspection—to guarantee that every component is inherently flight-ready.
Large-Scale Additive Manufacturing
To accelerate the scaling of modern rockets, satellites, and heavy UAVs, XTPROTO provides high-throughput Large-Scale Additive Manufacturing. Our advanced, large-format systems break traditional size constraints, fabricating near-net-shape structures measured in meters. Specialized in processing high-strength alloys,we actively eliminate industry pain points such as material inconsistency, high post-processing costs, and strict flight certification barriers.
By enabling massive part consolidation on a grand scale, we replace complex, multi-piece welded assemblies with highly optimized monolithic structures. This advanced workflow drastically lowers the buy-to-fly ratio, eradicates structural weak points, and compresses R&D timelines—delivering certified, large-scale flight hardware at unprecedented speed.
