Government & defense

Manufacturing solutions for mission-critical needs.

Readiness is limited by the parts you cannot get. GovFab turns a described requirement into a qualified, domestically produced component — under the controls your program already answers to.

Where it applies

The work that cannot be back-ordered.

01 / Sustainment

Replacement parts for legacy equipment

Platforms outlive their supply chains. Reproduce components whose original vendor, tooling, or technical data package no longer exists — from a sample, a scan, or a description of how it failed.

02 / Development

Rapid prototyping

Compress the design-build-test loop from months to days, with each revision carrying its own analysis, inspection, and approval record for later program review.

03 / Shop floor

Custom tools and fixtures

Depot and maintenance tooling built to the equipment in front of you: alignment jigs, pullers, gauges, lifting fixtures, and test adapters.

04 / Forward

Field repair components

Send a validated design to the production capability nearest the point of need, including expeditionary and shipboard fabrication cells.

05 / Controls

Secure manufacturing

Access-scoped projects, export-controlled routing, personnel gating, and an append-only record of every action taken against a design.

06 / Resilience

Supply chain resilience

Replace single-source dependency with a digital inventory that can be produced at multiple accredited domestic facilities on demand.

Security posture

Designed for controlled information from the first line of code.

Compliance added afterward is a liability. GovFab was architected around controlled-unclassified-information handling, least-privilege access, and complete auditability.

Accreditation status, third-party assessment reports, and facility clearance details are shared under NDA during program qualification. We do not publish security claims we cannot substantiate on request.

How we engage

Start narrow. Prove it. Then scale.

Programs do not adopt a manufacturing platform on a slide. We begin with a bounded pilot against components you are already struggling to source, deliver against them, and let the record decide whether the approach earns wider use.

Our team works to your acquisition vehicle and reporting cadence rather than asking you to work to ours.

Step 01

Scoping session with your sustainment or engineering lead

Step 02

Candidate part selection, typically 3–10 components

Step 03

Security and export review before any data is loaded

Step 04

Design, analysis, and qualification against program criteria

Step 05

First article production and inspection

Step 06

Program review with the full documentation package

Bring us your obsolescence list.

The components that keep slipping are the right place to start. We will scope a pilot around them.
