// FAQ

Common questions about Injection Molding for Aerospace & Defense in Bloomington, MN.

Can you support ITAR-controlled injection molding programs for Bloomington-area defense contractors?
Yes. Our certified partner network includes ITAR-registered suppliers equipped to handle export-controlled programs. If your program requires restricted material handling, controlled documentation, or personnel compliance, we route your work accordingly. Contact us with your ITAR classification upfront and we’ll confirm supplier eligibility before quoting.

Do your partner shops meet AS9100 Rev D requirements for flight-critical injection molded parts?
Yes. We work with AS9100 Rev D certified partner shops capable of producing flight-critical polymer components with full program documentation, material certs, and FAI packages. Certification scope is confirmed on a per-quote basis — just specify your program requirements when you submit.

What injection molding materials are available for aerospace structural and interior components?
Our partner network molds PEEK, Ultem (PEI), glass-filled nylon, PTFE-blended materials, and other aerospace-grade engineered thermoplastics. If your program calls out a specific material per AMS or OEM spec, include it in your RFQ and we’ll match you to the right qualified supplier.

How does Nimble handle First Article Inspection for defense programs requiring AS9102 compliance?
CMM inspection and FAI are included on every order — not a line-item add-on. For AS9102-compliant FAI packages, we coordinate full balloon drawings, material certifications, dimensional reports, and process documentation. Defense buyers in Bloomington receive a complete data package ready for program submittal.
