What Cutting Dynamics does

Re:Build Cutting Dynamics (formerly Cutting Dynamics, founded 1985) is an AS9100D-certified U.S. aerospace component manufacturer operating from a single facility at 980 Jaycox Road, Avon, Ohio. The company produces precision-machined, hydroformed, hot-formed, and thermoplastic-composite parts and assemblies for commercial aerospace and defense primes, with named programs including Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk and SH-60 Seahawk airframes and phase maintenance kits, Boeing CH-47 Chinook components and Premier Bidder-tier commercial airplane parts, and Raytheon Patriot/PAC-3 and Coyote missile system hardware, plus ITAR-compliant spare parts for the U.S. Military including HH-60G PAVE Hawk helicopters.

Core capabilities span 3-, 4-, 5-, and 9-axis CNC machining (25 CNC machines, 3 programmable CMMs), fluid cell sheet hydroforming via a Triform press at 10,000 psi, hot forming titanium at up to 1,600°F using TMA 4505 alloy platens, and a patented continuous compression molding process for thermoplastic composites capable of producing flat panels to complex shapes in 50-foot lengths using PEEK, PEKK, PPS, PA, and PES with carbon and glass fibers. Adjacent services include metal fabrication, bending and forming, mixed-material aircraft assembly, CARC painting, and a patent-pending color-coded kitting system. Engineering is supported by SolidWorks, Pam-Stamp, Logopress, and SigmaNest forming simulation.

The business model is direct B2B contract manufacturing: quote-based pricing determined by component complexity, materials, volumes, and certification requirements, with revenue generated through long-term supply agreements with aerospace primes and defense contractors under an enterprise field sales motion. The company holds AS9100D, ISO 9001:2015, ITAR, and NIST 800-171 Rev. 2 certifications and operates one granted U.S. patent (No. 10,059,078, October 2018) on composite overmolding technology. Since 2021, the company has operated as a member company of Re:Build Manufacturing, a diversified U.S. industrial roll-up platform, while retaining its own brand, leadership (Bill Carson, President and CEO), and operational identity. No revenue, headcount, or contract value figures are publicly disclosed.
