4TH AXIS MACHINE & DESIGN INC

4TH AXIS MACHINE & DESIGN INC specializes in precision fabrication of complex, mission-critical metal components for aerospace and scientific instrumentation, with deep expertise in producing interchangeable piece parts for both spaceflight and ground-based hardware. The company delivers end-to-end fabricated metal solutions—from design consultation to final machining and assembly—tailored to the stringent tolerances and material specifications required by high-reliability systems. Their technical capabilities include advanced CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, welding, and surface finishing, all performed under controlled environments to ensure dimensional accuracy and compliance with aerospace-grade standards. A key differentiator is their ability to support rapid prototyping and low-volume production of custom components for scientific instruments, enabling agile development cycles for NASA’s research and exploration programs. The contractor has established a consistent relationship with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, providing specialized fabrication services to the Goddard Space Flight Center. Their work supports the development of flight-ready and non-flight hardware components critical to instrument systems, including structural brackets, enclosures, mounts, and precision interfaces. This long-standing partnership reflects a proven track record in meeting the unique demands of space mission hardware, where repeatability, traceability, and material integrity are non-negotiable. Operating under NAICS 332999, the company focuses on the niche segment of miscellaneous fabricated metal products, serving the aerospace, defense, and scientific instrumentation sectors. Their market positioning centers on small-batch, high-complexity manufacturing where standard off-the-shelf solutions are inadequate, and customization is essential to mission success. As a Women-Owned Small Business and Woman-Owned Business certified entity based in Albertville, Minnesota, 4TH AXIS MACHINE & DESIGN INC brings a agile, responsive manufacturing model to the federal procurement landscape, combining technical precision with the flexibility required for mission-critical government programs.
