San Antonio — "Military City, USA" — anchors a major aerospace, defense, and military-medical economy, from aircraft sustainment to biomedical research. That work demands controlled processes and traceable parts. Rigid Concepts machines mission-critical components for that base from our Van Alstyne facility in North Texas and ships them statewide, handling controlled technical data under our ITAR registration.
Aerospace & military-grade machining
San Antonio's aerospace maintenance, repair, and overhaul work and its defense programs need parts held to flight tolerances with documentation that survives audits. Our aerospace machining and defense machining deliver exactly that, and we are ITAR registered for controlled components. Five-axis machining cuts compound-angle structure in one setup so true position holds across faces.
- Flight- and mission-critical aerospace and defense parts
- ITAR-registered handling of controlled technical data
- Titanium and aluminum structure, brackets, and housings
- First-article and in-process inspection with full traceability

Military-medical & biomedical work
San Antonio is also a hub for military and biomedical research, which calls for biocompatible, precisely traceable parts. We machine medical components and instruments in titanium and stainless with the lot-level traceability that regulated work requires — the same discipline we bring to defense hardware.
Working with us from San Antonio
San Antonio is well south of our North Texas shop, so we partner remotely and ship statewide: secure exchange of controlled files, quoting and DFM review, digital first-article and inspection reports, and freight delivery. ITAR-controlled technical data is handled accordingly throughout.
