— Industry Overview
Structural & Engine Components for Commercial Aviation
Commercial aerospace manufacturing demands a combination of precision, repeatability, and rigorous quality documentation that few machine shops can sustain across production volumes. ADMI has earned its position as a Boeing DPD/MBD approved supplier by consistently delivering structural and engine-adjacent components that meet or exceed the dimensional, material, and documentation requirements of the world’s largest aircraft manufacturer.
Our Boeing Digital Product Definition (DPD) and Model-Based Definition (MBD) approval means ADMI is qualified to manufacture directly from Boeing’s 3D model data without traditional 2D drawings. This model-based manufacturing approach reduces interpretation errors, accelerates programming cycles, and ensures that every feature on every part traces directly to the authoritative design model. It represents the future of aerospace manufacturing, and ADMI is already there.
Beyond Boeing programs, ADMI supports the broader commercial aerospace supply chain with structural fittings, system brackets, and hardware for regional jet, business aviation, and commercial helicopter platforms. Our 14 CNC machines, including 5-axis centers and large-envelope mills, handle the full range of commercial aerospace part sizes from small actuator components to full-scale wing rib sections.
