Structural mounting brackets, FAA-adjacent non-PMA hardware, and ground support equipment brackets with 6–8 week OEM queues.
Common MRO requestBroken jig components, fixture blocks, and assembly tooling. Non-airworthy tooling falls outside PMA scope — manufacture fast.
Common MRO requestAvionics bay housing covers, equipment enclosures, panel fascia, and protective housings — plastic or aluminum, from a photo.
Common MRO requestNon-critical structural components stuck in 6–8 week OEM queues hold up entire maintenance events. Get a replacement in 2–3 weeks.
Solved by RepliformNo engineering drawing. No CAD file. No OEM part number. A smartphone photo and a reference object for scale is all we need.
Non-critical structural and tooling components. Material selected based on load, environment, and function.
CNC machined aluminum — the standard for aerospace structural brackets, tooling fixtures, and housings requiring metal. T6 temper delivers high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent machinability. Anodizing available on request.
3D printed nylon — tough, lightweight, and fatigue-resistant. Ideal for jig and fixture tooling, protective covers, and non-structural brackets where weight reduction matters. Low moisture absorption, good chemical resistance.
3D printed PETG — strong, dimensionally stable, and resistant to fuels and common aerospace cleaning solvents. Suited for housing covers, panel fascia, and enclosures that require moderate chemical resistance.
3D printed ABS — rigid, impact resistant, and easy to finish. Good for enclosures, mounting components, and shop aids where surface finishing (sanding, painting) is needed. Handles moderate heat environments.
Repliform manufactures non-PMA components for MRO tooling, ground support equipment, prototyping, and non-certified structural shop aids. These parts are not approved for installation in airworthy aircraft systems. Scope of use is: maintenance tooling, jig and fixture components, GSE hardware, and structural shop aids. Flight-critical or airworthy replacement parts are out of scope. If you're unsure whether your part qualifies, submit photos with a description of intended use — we'll confirm in your quote.
Parts commonly requested by aerospace MRO shops, repair stations, and aircraft maintenance organizations.
Non-PMA structural brackets for ground support equipment and MRO tooling rigs. Aluminum 6061 — photographed, classified, and manufactured without a drawing.
Broken jig blocks, fixture locating pins, and assembly tooling components. Non-airworthy tooling has no PMA restriction — fast turnaround, aluminum or nylon.
Protective housing covers and structural enclosures for avionics bay components in ground test and maintenance configurations.
Mounting brackets and support structures for cabin panel installations, overhead bins, and non-structural interior components.
Brackets, covers, and structural components for GSE — carts, tugs, stands, and service vehicles. No airworthiness requirement, full manufacturing flexibility.
Rapid prototyping of bracket and housing geometry before committing to production tooling. Iterate on form and fit from photos of existing hardware.
Yes. Repliform manufactures replacement parts for aerospace MRO shops — brackets, jig tooling, housing components, panel covers, and non-critical structural parts — from smartphone photos. Upload 1–3 photos, our AI classifies the part and generates a quote, then we manufacture and ship it. No engineering drawing or OEM part number required.
No. Repliform manufactures non-PMA components for MRO tooling, ground support equipment, jig and fixture tooling, and structural shop aids. These are not approved replacement parts for airworthy aircraft systems. The use case is MRO tooling, prototyping, and non-certified structural replacements — not flight-critical components. Always confirm regulatory scope with your DER or quality organization before use.
For aerospace MRO applications we offer Aluminum 6061-T6 (CNC machined, for structural brackets and tooling fixtures), Nylon PA12 (3D printed, for jig tooling, covers, and lightweight brackets), PETG (3D printed, chemical resistant, for housings and panel covers), and ABS (3D printed, rigid and durable, for enclosures and mounting components). Material selection depends on load requirements, environment, and function — the AI recommends the appropriate material in your quote.
OEM lead times for aerospace non-structural parts typically run 6–8 weeks. Repliform's quote-to-ship turnaround is typically 2–3 weeks for CNC aluminum parts and 5–10 business days for 3D printed polymer parts. For MRO shops managing AOG situations or tight maintenance windows, that lead time difference directly impacts aircraft availability.
Yes. Jig and fixture tooling for aerospace manufacturing and MRO is one of our core use cases. These parts are not airworthy components, so they fall outside PMA and DER requirements. Photograph the broken or missing jig component — including a reference object for scale — and the AI will classify geometry, recommend material, and generate a quote. Aluminum and Nylon are most common for jig tooling.
Common requests include: bracket replacements for ground support equipment, aircraft jig and fixture tooling, housing and enclosure components, panel covers and fascia, avionics bay structural brackets, cargo compartment fittings, and maintenance shop aids. If the part is non-flight-critical structural or tooling, it's likely in scope. Submit photos and describe intended use — we'll confirm in your quote.
Submitting is free. Polymer parts (Nylon, PETG, ABS) typically quote in the $40–$150 range including shipping, depending on size and complexity. Aluminum CNC parts vary by geometry and tolerances — typically $150–$800 for bracket-scale components. You see the full price before committing. You only pay when you approve the quote.
