Precision metal work without losing the aircraft context.
Roger Wilco Aviation Services uses in-house fiber laser cutting and welding to support aircraft panel work, sheet metal projects, brackets, tooling, and short-run aviation parts that need clean edges, repeatable geometry, and fast iteration. The advantage is not just the machine. It is having the machine inside the same shop that understands avionics clearances, structural judgment, logbook documentation, placards, and return-to-service requirements.
RWAS can take a project from aircraft review and CAD layout through cutting, finishing, marking, and installation planning. That shortens the loop for owners who need panel modernization, replacement metal, custom brackets, or a manufactured tool that has to survive normal hangar use.
RWAS fiber laser cutting capability - used for panel, tooling, and fabrication support in Yankton.
From panel concept to cut metal.
Aircraft panel work starts before the laser ever runs. RWAS reviews the aircraft, instrument layout, equipment stack, structural constraints, wiring path, placards, and applicable installation data. Once the concept is ready, the shop can move from CAD to cut metal without handing the project to an outside vendor that has never seen the airplane.
Owners planning a Garmin upgrade can use the panel planner as an early conversation tool, then have RWAS review the actual aircraft and project scope before fabrication begins.
Cut, weld, finish, mark, and iterate.
The fiber laser supports precise work in thin-gauge metals used in aircraft and tooling projects. RWAS pairs that with CAD/CNC workflow, powder coating, UV printing, and CO2 engraving so the finished part is not just shaped correctly, but readable, durable, and ready for a professional aircraft environment.
Fiber Laser Cutting
Repeatable cut geometry for panels, brackets, fixtures, and short-run shop parts.
Fiber Laser Welding
Precision joining support where material, geometry, and approved data make it appropriate.
Aircraft Panel Fabrication
Panel blanks, instrument openings, avionics layouts, placard areas, and fit checks.
Powder Coating & UV Printing
Finished panels and tools with durable color, labeling, and reference markings.
CAD/CNC Fabrication Support
Digital layout, repeatable manufacturing files, CNC routing, and production support.
Custom panel work - precision cut, finished, and marked for a professional cockpit installation.
A fast laser still needs a valid aircraft path.
Fabrication for aircraft is not the same as hobby cutting. RWAS reviews eligibility, installation data, structure, clearances, equipment requirements, placards, and documentation before treating a fabricated item as aircraft work. Some projects can be handled as shop support or tooling; others require approved data, STC/AML compatibility, coordination with an IA, or a different path entirely.
That discipline is the point. The shop can move quickly, but it will not turn an aircraft project into a loose piece of metal with no regulatory story behind it.
Send the aircraft, the part, and the constraint.
Useful fabrication requests include the aircraft make and model, N-number if aircraft-specific, photos of the panel or part, dimensions, material if known, the desired finish or marking, and the maintenance or installation reason behind the work. If the project ties into a Garmin installation, structural repair, or Papa-Alpha tooling question, include that context up front.
