A Texas shop built on hard problems.

Rigid Concepts is a veteran-owned precision machine shop in Van Alstyne, Texas, serving the DFW metroplex, the entire state, and clients nationwide. We started this shop with a clear identity: the hard, tight-tolerance parts would be the specialty.

Rigid Concepts, LLC is certified as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) through the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Veteran Small Business Certification (VetCert) program.

Our quality management system is certified to AS9100D & ISO 9001:2015 by IAPMO SCB, an ANAB-accredited certification body. AS9100D is the quality standard many aerospace and defense manufacturers require of their suppliers — see what our AS9100D certification covers. Prime contractors and supplier-diversity teams can see how the two credentials work together on our AS9100D + SDVOSB supplier page.

We say yes to the hard parts

Exotic materials, unforgiving tolerances, compound-angle geometry, high-mix low-volume runs — that’s the work we were built for. That focus shapes how we invest: simultaneous 5-axis capability, redundant turning capacity that protects your delivery schedule, and a disciplined, AS9100D-certified quality system.

• AS9100D & ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system
• ITAR registered for controlled defense & aerospace work
• SBA-certified SDVOSB — veteran-owned and a licensed engineering firm
• 5-axis milling and turning under one roof — prototype through production
