CNC steel & structural steelwork
CNC steel cutting to 10 mm and structural steelwork: frames, tubes, sheet metal, and welded assemblies fabricated to drawing
Industry & automation
Your domain is not a catalog simulator SKU.
One stack
software, hardware, and electronics; for aviation-grade programmes and for domains that break standard FSTD assumptions
Maritime and naval training, ground mission systems, industrial hardware-in-the-loop, and bespoke physics; the same modular architecture VOA uses for certifiable aviation, applied where integration depth matters more than a franchise product brochure.
Discuss Your RequirementsThe Problem
Off-the-shelf platforms assume a narrowbody-shaped world.
📐
Wrong physics template
Training and test rigs for maritime, land, or mission systems need domain fidelity; hydrodynamics, vehicle dynamics, RF and comms behaviour, not only transport-category flight models squeezed into a different label.
🔌
Interfaces that never appear on a price list
Proprietary buses, mission payloads, plant I/O, and automation gateways do not map to fixed commercial FSTD integrations. Tier 2 closed platforms stop where your interface definition begins.
📑
Evidence cannot be bolted on at the end
Regulators, primes, and internal assurance teams ask for traceable validation and documentation. A stack that treats evidence as paperwork after build inherits recurring risk and rework; the same structural failure mode as legacy aviation simulation.
The VOA Answer
CNC, lathe, bending, 3D printing, moulding: one team owns the full chain.
VOA's Industry workshop runs the complete manufacturing cycle in-house: CNC cutting of steel up to 10 mm and structural wood, press-brake bending in multiple angles, mechanical turning and milling, additive manufacturing in resin and filament, injection moulding, silicone casting, thermoforming, acrylic CNC routing and engraving, vinyl cutting, glass-fibre and composite lay-up, and structural steelwork. One team, one engineering thread, from first concept to assembly-ready component.
Press-brake, lathe & milling
Press-brake bending in multiple angles and forms; mechanical lathe for threading, diameters, and precision recesses; column milling with digital and micrometric precision
Injection moulding & casting
Injection moulding; silicone mould casting with controlled-temperature oven, degassed mix, and 4-minute pour window; thermoforming for housings and covers
SLA & FDM 3D printing
SLA resin 3D printing with wash station, alcohol rinse, and UV cure; FDM printing in PLA, ABS, and carbon fibre, from rapid prototypes to functional end-use parts
CNC wood routing
CNC wood routing for structural prototypes and fibre-ready forms; 2D-to-3D iteration in wood before steel is committed; wooden tabletops and structural panels
Acrylic CNC, vinyl & lighting
Acrylic CNC routing and engraving to 10 mm thickness, vinyl cutting, lighting integration, and PCB support structures machined from acrylic with 3 mm end mills
Fibreglass & composite lay-up
Glass-fibre hand lay-up and vacuum bagging; trimmed, bonded, and finished to drawing for shells, fairings, and structural skins aligned with your laminate schedule.
Large-scale moulding
Oversized fibre moulds and injection moulding
For composite and reinforced parts that do not fit standard tool envelopes, we engineer and build oversized fibre moulds in-house, aligned to your laminate stack and cure cycle. Series production runs through our injection-moulding capability with the same drawing ownership and revision discipline as the rest of the workshop.
