In the defense industry, every component matters. From the smallest machined part to the most complex assembly, precision and compliance are non-negotiable. At AB Precision, we specialize in precision grinding and machining for defense applications - delivering mission-critical components that meet the highest standards of quality and ITAR compliance.


This post walks you through how we support U.S. defense manufacturing from concept to completion.


Step 1: Understanding the Mission

Every project begins with a clear understanding of the client’s needs. Whether it’s a prototype for a new weapons system or a production run of aerospace components, we work closely with defense contractors and OEMs to:

  • Review technical drawings and specifications

  • Identify ITAR-controlled elements

  • Establish and enhance compliance and security protocols to meet their needs


Step 2: Precision Grinding & Machining

Our core capabilities include:

  • Surface, Blanchard, creep feed, profile, and double disc grinding

  • High-precision machining for tight-tolerance parts

  • Complex geometries and multi-step processes

  • Material expertise including hardened steels, alloys, and exotic metals


We use advanced equipment and skilled technicians to ensure every part meets exacting standards - because in defense, there’s no room for error.


Step 3: ITAR Compliance & Secure Handling

As an ITAR-registered manufacturer, AB Precision ensures:

  • Secure handling of technical data and drawings

  • Controlled facility access and encrypted systems

  • Trained personnel in export control regulations

  • Full traceability and documentation for every part


We don’t just meet compliance requirements - we build them into every step of our process.


Step 4: Final Inspection & Delivery

Before any part leaves our facility, it undergoes:

  • Dimensional inspection using calibrated metrology tools

  • Surface finish and tolerance verification

  • Documentation review for ITAR and quality compliance


We deliver parts that are ready for integration - whether they’re headed to a testing lab, a production line, or the battlefield.


Final Thoughts

From blueprint to battlefield, AB Precision is a trusted partner in U.S. defense manufacturing. Our combination of precision grinding, tight-tolerance machining, and ITAR compliance ensures that every component we produce supports the mission - safely, securely, and reliably.
