AEROSPACE ENGINEERING SERVICES
Avior offers aerospace engineering services as well as design services to Canadian and international aircraft manufacturers that support their requirements for aircraft structures and composite tooling. We take a proactive approach in seeking value engineering opportunities with evolving designs and methods that reduce cost or weight for their aircraft structures. As a leading aerospace manufacturer, Avior provides a unique perspective given our experience in both composites and metal fabrication. Our teams can assess the manufacturability of new design solutions and optimize them using different materials.
At Avior Integrated Products, we are proud to say that we successfully participated in value engineering projects with Boeing, Bombardier, De Havilland, and BellFlight.
COMMITTED TO FINDING SOLUTIONS FOR OUR CUSTOMERS
The current challenge in the development of a new aircraft is finding the ideal balance between cost and weight. This balance will often change over time as aircraft performance evolves and cost objectives change. Our engineering design and methods teams are committed to identifying opportunities for our customers to achieve their goals.
Avior is constantly looking for ways to improve the quality of our aerospace engineering services. We are proud to have been nominated in 2016 by Boeing for the Supplier of the Year Pathfinder Award. This award recognizes suppliers that are actively seeking innovative cost reduction solutions.

Optimization
The selection of materials and manufacturing processes has a direct impact on cost and weight objectives. As an engineering services provider to the aerospace industry, our approach is to look for opportunities to reduce part count in an assembly by using the optimum combination of composites and metal details. This strategy allows for weight reduction and reduced assembly time.
Design Capabilities
Avior utilizes a number of tools in its approach to the design of a product or a tool for the aerospace industry. This includes using the latest design and programming software and leveraging in-house 3D printing technology, also called additive manufacturing, for prototype development and tool development. The use of prototypes fabricated through our FDM and SLA printers for proof of concept allows for greater innovation in tool design and cost optimization.
Our design capabilities include:
- Specializing in composites, metal aircraft structures, and plastics
Reverse engineering
- New product development
- Design Improvement
Tooling
Avior provides in-house tool design and fabrication. Leveraging our fabrication capabilities in metal and composites allows for the optimum tool design to meet cost and performance objectives.
Some of the types of tools designed in-house includes:
- Form blocks
- Layup molds (Aluminum, Steel, Invar, Graphite, Glass)
- Master models
- Fixtures (Checking, Milling, Trim)
