Product Development
Clinkenbeard
Experience, urgency and a complete set of manufacturing services to support the many stages of product development, whether we're part of the program from the start or later in the process. Product Development Lifecycle (used to assess marketing & manufacturing barriers)
Machining
Clinkenbeard
Combining a healthy sense of urgency and experience in a wide range of manufacturing processes to deliver turnkey parts in extremely short lead times. 3D Printing/Additive Manufacturing We understand additive manufacturing and the cost/time savings associated with planning the machining and post AM operations necessary to add high-precision features to metal AM components.
Engineering
Clinkenbeard
Managing Manufacturability and Cost We utilize a wide range of manufacturing processes and materials, which allows our team to identify the best manufacturing method to support your program. We work closely with customers to refine their product design relative to the production intent manufacturing process in order to achieve design to cost (DTC) pricing targets.
Hogouts & Assemblies
Clinkenbeard
Because of our vast knowledge of manufacturing processes, we can take on some of the most complex components and deliver turnkey, mission-critical assemblies. Machining parts from billet and barstock is an advantageous process for producing complex and precision components.

About
At Clinkenbeard, specialized expertise in engineering, advanced machining, fabrication and foundry tooling capabilities form a unique mix of services to dramatically accelerate product development. This creates a competitive advantage necessary for Aerospace, Defense, Heavy Truck, Power Gen and Automotive applications.
Clinkenbeard is an innovator in the rapid development of complex parts and assemblies…a competitive advantage necessary for Aerospace, Defense, Heavy Truck, Power Gen and Industrial applications.
Since August 1966, Clinkenbeard has focused on providing engineering excellence to meet ever-changing industry demands. Founder Kenny Clinkenbeard, saw the importance of coupling a state-of-the-art facility with highly trained engineers to meet customers with a passionate drive to tackle their toughest challenges. Although our building footprint and industries served has grown exponentially over the decades, our pursuit of bringing innovation to new markets and rapid development to meet industry needs still propels our vision.
Clinkenbeard’s casting & foundry tooling experience dates to our origin over 50 years ago, with skilled craftsmen making patterns on the bench for local aerospace OEM’s. Since then, our accumulated experience has evolved into skilled designers working in 3D CAD & 5-axis machinists cutting patterns, machining castings and hogouts from solid in high speed CNC milling centers, with a specialty in high quality iron, aluminum, and magnesium castings. Our experience deepens our expertise; allowing us to better understand the complex issues involved with each step of the process to enable your product to reach the market AHEAD of the competition.
AS9100 certification and ITAR compliance, mixed with more than 50 years of proven expertise in engineering, advanced machining and foundry tooling capabilities, Clinkenbeard can dramatically accelerate the product development process – from initial concept, to prototyping and production, to complete training and simulation systems.
Products and Services: Machining, fabrication, casting, foundry tooling, mockups, training devices, fixtures, tooling, shafts, housings.
