My father worked every day of my life from 4am to 9pm. I didn’t get to see him much. His sacrifice was the reason we made it in the USA. Now, through manufacturing and @M3Aerospace, I get to spend almost every hour with him. Breakfast talks about financials with mom, loading material, running the shop, dreaming at night. Manufacturing isn’t just about reindustrializing America for me. It’s given me an opportunity to reclaim lost time with my dad. 🇺🇸

STARTUPS AND SMBs: If you're actually building things, we saved you a seat at Reindustrialize 3.0. 70% off. Limited. Curated.

Today marks our 30th month since we started production at M3. So far we have fully bootstrapped a business that has: Set up operations cross-border operations (Cd. Juárez and El Paso). Employed 20 people. Delivered 600+ jobs with more than 40k unique components. Onboarded with major clients like SpaceX. Selected for a major multi-year Navy program. Expanded to 13 CNC machines, 1 laser cutting system and launched our assembly division. Achieved ISO, AS9100D, ITAR and CMMC level 1 certifications. Developed partnerships with local trade schools, community colleges and universities to hire the next generation of manufacturing personnel. Developed MVPs for anodizing and welding divisions. What a journey it has been. 🇺🇸 🚀

Companies were quoting me 3+ weeks for a special cutter. Don’t have time for that. So I crossed the border, found a badass old school manual machinist and got the cutter done in 24 hours, and for 1/4 of the price. Being at the border it’s a cheat code for manufacturing.

Three offer letters sent, three offer letters signed, three more manufacturing jobs created today. 🇺🇸 🏭

I have 0% doubt that M3 will become a leading manufacturer, using cutting edge technology to support mission critical programs. But even if we don’t reach that $b mark, getting to see my dad and brother smile as they play with my dog at our facility, has made every sacrifice in journey worth it. I’m not just building to win, I’m building to leave an everlasting impact in my family, my community and my country. 🇺🇸

Manufacturing goats - need tips to hit 16UIN surface roughness on Aluminum MIC-6 🙏🏼

With Pepe running security - Ain’t body breaking into our facility.

Happy Friday - God bless 🇺🇸

@ItsSeb03 Cool! Is this for laser or plasma?

Delivery day! About to connect 4 more machines. Production about to 3x.

@andrewkornuta Thanks for hosting gents!

Truly an honor to host the Texas Space Coalition and Colonel Omar Perea from the U.S. Space Force at M3 Aerospace. At M3, we are building compliant, high-precision manufacturing capacity in Texas to support national security and space superiority. We look forward to deepening our collaboration with USSF and the broader defense ecosystem as we continue scaling capabilities designed for mission-critical programs. Proud to contribute to the industrial base that supports our warfighters. #SpaceForce #Defense #TexasSpace #IndustrialBase #M3Aerospace

@JasonPremoMFG Interested 🙋🏻‍♂️

Anyone out there machining 7075 sight/optics mounts? I have well known firearms customer needing a supplier to do 10,000 / year. (Note pic is NOT the exact just an example). We stay focused on our swiss lathe core competency so I want to make intros to cnc milling shops. DM me

@reticente07 Yes! Those bad boys were machined shortly after this pic.

@ItsSeb03 Great to see. Are those Delrin parts on the table?

Kevin’s first day at M3 - he produced 15 parts in a single shift. It was a great day!

@zachglabman looking at you my man!

Heard directly from the CEO that if you can drive it 300+ yards - you get a bunch of swag and a piece of aluminum.

Exciting times for M3! Stop by if you’re around.

@tmodcustoms @mattfreed Academic and government labs I.e MIT, Berkeley, NASA and tier 1 OEMs invest quite a bit into R&D.

@ItsSeb03 @mattfreed Who's working on improving cure cycle times?

I receive a good amount of DM's asking where to get parts made fast So ive started making a list of manufacturers with the simple requirement: Parts shipped within 7 days If youre a U.S based manufacturer who handles quickturn at that speed - please let me know and comment here. I'd love to add you to the list before it goes live. I can mark your company in "Beta" stage if youre currently running an invite only offering as well

Totally agree for simple 1–2 step processes. Automation solves a lot i.e, fabrication time, quoting, inspection, scheduling, etc. But aerospace coatings introduce cure kinetics. Epoxy crosslinking and polyurethane reactions obey thermodynamics, not calendar deadlines. A hydrogen bond forms at the rate physics allows. You can optimize the system but you can’t compress chemistry. That’s where 7-day turnaround becomes unrealistic for complex, flight-spec assemblies. Something many engineers don’t fully account for.

@mattfreed 7 days is doable for simple laser-cut or 3-axis parts. But once you add 5-axis geometry + aerospace coatings (epoxy primer, polyurethane topcoat, sealants), the cure cycles alone can break that timeline. Curious what complexity bucket these fall into.
