The traditional way of manufacturing HeliGrids is very expensive, precise and difficult. They are manufactured from one large plate, that is often on a twelve month plus lead time. The machining process requires large, capital-intensive machines that have to tie up thousands of individual features without an error. The material cannot be repaired if an error is made, making their manufacture very high risk.

R&D breakthrough

Contemplating this problem through our R&D department, we believed that there must be a better way. So the concept of the Modular HelliGrid (MHG) was born. The concept is simple: you make each hole individually. Minimal material lead time, lower material costs, lower machine capital costs, lower risk. Components can be held in stock, delivering a MHG in weeks not years. Shipping is easier in crates, and if you damage one in service it is repairable.
