Built for the demands of defence supply
Defence contracts call for parts that match the specification every time, often in tough technical fabrics. Aeronaut cutters already produce parachutes, heavy canvas and PVC covers, inflatables and aramid parts for manufacturers worldwide. Our machines helped make the spacesuits and capsule parachutes for SpaceX Dragon, so we know what mission-critical cutting takes.
Parachutes & aerial delivery
Cut canopy panels, reinforcing tapes and containers accurately, with sealed edges that won’t fray.
Personal & protective equipment
Cut load-carrying pouches, packs, uniform components and aramid protective panels with consistent, clean edges.
Shelters & vehicle covers
Cut tents, shelters, camouflage covers and vehicle tarps in canvas and PVC, on tables wide and long enough for the biggest panels.

Flexible cutting systems for contract production
Defence work swings between prototypes, short runs and large orders. Aeronaut cutters are built to measure and can be extended in length later without a rebuild. Fit ultrasonic, blade, crease, punch and marking tools to one machine, so a single table can handle every contract.
