Mundus Group, Inc (MNDP) announces its subsidiary AirStar International (Airstar) is improving its prototyping and production efficiency by purchasing a Computer Numerical Code (CNC) machine allowing for complete in-house manufacturing.
AirStar has purchased a CNC machine, which along with Mundus’ design and engineering capabilities and use of 3D CAD, will allow in house prototyping/manufacturing of machined aircraft aluminum and steel parts.

“The purchase was critical to our expansion and is keeping in step with our ambitious plans to deliver our UAV technology in several key industries”, said Keith Michael Field, Chairman for the Mundus Group.

The CNC machine purchase gives AirStar the ability to physically explore a part before it is approved for manufacturing. This allows us to create, validate, optimize, and manage designs from the conceptual design phase through the manufacturing process. By being able to produce actual physical prototypes in-house, AirStar can visualize and simulate real-world performance of the design, speeding up the process from concept to manufacturing.

The CNC machine enables AirStar’s manufacturing technicians to machine parts that come directly from the design and engineering department, bridging the gaps that exist between in-house design and outsourced prototyping/manufacturing. By adding the CNC capabilities, Airstar is decreasing design time on rework or work-in-progress for crucial projects, reducing errors on initial designs through better visualization, and eliminating lengthy design to product changes during tight lead times.

AirStar’s proprietary CamCopter is famous for its major Hollywood films, commercials and documentaries. We also provide assistance to the remote controlled (RC) operator who wants to take their business to the next level with Aerial Photography, Aerial Surveillance, Environmental Testing and Aerial Search & Rescue that will create business through innovative aerial solutions that will generate revenue streams to their business.
