Renaissance Services operates the “Rapid Cast Parts – Center of Excellence” where it provides small quantities of parts made from castings for sustaining legacy systems as well as helping to develop new systems. The customers include the US Air Force, Army, and Navy as well as multiple aerospace prime contractors.

As part of providing rapid cast parts, Renaissance addresses three key areas:

Reverse Engineering – Renaissance takes legacy parts that lack design data and creates the technical data package, including models, drawings, and specifications.
Additive Manufacturing - Renaissance uses ceramic additive manufacturing to create casting molds, greatly reducing the time and cost to create small quantities of castings.
Supply Chain Production – Renaissance works with its rapid casting network of multiple foundries and machining suppliers to produce the small quantity of parts.

Our team thrives on technical precision, uncompromising quality standards, and collaborative problem-solving. Are you passionate about program management and eager to work with innovative manufacturing solutions? Do you thrive on challenging conventional processes and delivering part production in a fast-paced environment? If so, Renaissance Services is looking for you.
