From Prototype to Production
Accelerating Aerospace and Defense Innovation with Custom Magnetic Assemblies
In the aerospace and defense industry, speed matters. Program timelines are tighter than ever, yet expectations for performance, compliance, and reliability continue to rise. For fixed-wing aircraft systems—where everything from flight controls to power generation must meet exacting standards—getting from concept to test-ready prototype quickly can make or break a project.
At PermagTM, we help aerospace engineers bridge this gap with rapid prototyping services tailored for complex magnetic assemblies. From magnetic sensors and stators to actuators and shielding components, we enable fast, informed iteration—without compromising on quality, performance, or compliance.
The Pressure to Move Faster
Fixed-wing programs are under constant pressure to reduce development cycles and accelerate time to flight. Whether you’re working on a new platform or upgrading existing avionics or propulsion systems, the traditional product development model is often too slow. Long lead times for tooling, materials, and testing can delay integration milestones, while design rework adds cost and risk.
PermagTM’s rapid prototyping process is designed to overcome these barriers. We combine engineering expertise, in-house manufacturing, and materials inventory to deliver quick-turn solutions that keep your program on track.
What Makes Our Prototyping Process Different?
If your team is looking to compress development timelines while maintaining precision and compliance, PermagTM’s rapid prototyping capabilities are ready to support you.
1. Engineering-First Approach
Our cross-functional engineering team works directly with your design engineers to understand system-level requirements—thermal, mechanical, magnetic, and regulatory. We offer magnetostatic modeling and tolerance analysis up front, so prototypes are informed by real-world operating conditions from day one.
2. In-House Tooling & Assembly
With internal machining, magnetization, and metrology capabilities, we avoid the delays and variability of outsourcing. Whether it’s a custom rotor/stator assembly, magnetic coupling, or EMI shielding solution, we can build and test prototypes under one roof.
3. Material Availability
PermagTM maintains an inventory of high-performance magnetic materials, including Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB), Samarium Cobalt (SmCo), and Alnico—many of which are DFARS-compliant and ready for quick allocation. We also have access to domestic SmCo production through our sister company, Electron Energy Corporation (EEC), for full supply chain control.
4. Fast Iteration Cycles
Need to tweak a geometry or shift to a higher-temp grade? We can revise designs and remanufacture components quickly, helping you make design decisions based on physical testing—not just simulation.
Applications We Support
PermagTM’s rapid prototyping services are ideal for aerospace applications such as:
- Rotor and stator assemblies for electric propulsion systems
- Magnetic couplings for fuel pumps or cooling systems
- Sensors and actuators for flight control surfaces
- EMI shielding for avionics and power modules
Each prototype is built with production-level care and performance in mind—ensuring a smoother transition to scale once your design is validated.
