Turning Metal Into Mission
High-precision CNC machining for space and aerospace
Who We Are
At SATELLIS, we craft the components that power space missions —
with precision, purpose, and speed.
Every cut, every micron, every second is optimized to deliver maximum value to our clients.
Our workflow is designed for extreme responsiveness and fast delivery —
even for complex prototypes.
We don’t just machine parts.
We turn ideas into high-performance components —
fast.
Our Capabilities
Precision is not a feature. It’s our foundation.
We operate a fleet of cutting-edge CNC machines designed for demanding aerospace and CubeSat applications — each with its own specialty.

Industries we serve
Space Systems (CubeSats & Microsatellites)
We machine flight-ready components for small satellites:
frames, brackets, injector plates, optical mounts — all built to meet mission-critical specs.
Aerospace (Aircraft & Drone Parts)
Precision parts for airborne systems:
lightweight structures, rotating elements, and high-tolerance mechanisms for dynamic environments.
Research & Innovation (Scientific Instruments & Microstructures)
We support labs and startups with fine-featured parts, perfect finishes, and rapid iterations for prototypes and test setups.
Other (Where precision has no limits)
From photonics to medtech to advanced robotics —
if it demands accuracy, efficiency, and clean execution,
we’re ready.
