Who We Are
Founded and operated by Nikola Tomic, NiKo Carbon Works is an ITAR Registered and JCP Certified precision carbon fiber engineering and CNC manufacturing facility in Forney, Texas. Blending technical discipline with master CNC composite routing, we engineer and machine flight-ready aerospace brackets, tactical UAV airframes, and bespoke high-tolerance carbon components for defense contractors and discerning enthusiasts.
Officially certified under ITAR (DDTC) and the Joint Certification Program (JCP) to securely handle unclassified military and critical defense technical data and drawings.
Utilizing high-speed ceramic spindles, PCD diamond tooling, and dedicated vacuum fixture platens designed specifically to eliminate fiber fraying and ply separation.
In-house CMM verification, optical micrometers, and complete First Article Inspection (FAI) with Certificate of Conformance (CofC) matching aerospace standards.
Engineered for Extremes
Our Forney, Texas facility houses high-precision CNC routers, vacuum fixturing beds, diamond cutter tooling, and climate-controlled metrology ready for demanding defense, aerospace, and motorsport programs.
Flagship Routing
Specialized multi-axis CNC routing designed specifically for high-modulus carbon fiber plates, prepreg cured sheets, and carbon-honeycomb sandwich panels. Featuring high-vacuum matrix beds, diamond-coated PCD endmills, and dual-stage HEPA composite dust extraction.
Defense & UAS
Precision-machined carbon fiber structural plates, motor arms, payload gimbals, and fuselage bulkheads for defense unmanned aerial systems (UAS), FPV tactical quads, and surveillance platforms.
Flight Brackets
Autoclaved prepreg carbon fiber structural brackets and avionics enclosures with bonded titanium fastener inserts, chamfered edge profiles, and stringent thermal stability for flight packages.
CMM Metrology
Climate-controlled inspection room featuring ruby touch-trigger CMM probes, digital optical micrometers, and granite surface plates. Every defense run is accompanied by complete FAI and CofC packages.
Heritage Craft
The artisan foundation of NiKo Carbon Works: high-gloss 3K twill carbon digital dash conversion plates (Honda S2000 cluster swaps for Civic/Integra), radio block-offs, and custom race cockpit switch panels.
Rigorous Aerospace Standards
Advanced CAM modeling, fiber direction planning, and climb-milling toolpaths engineered to eliminate ply tearout and chatter.
Machined under vacuum matrix fixtures using diamond PCD router bits with continuous mist and HEPA composite dust extraction.
Calibrated touch-probe CMM verification, optical contour verification, and complete First Article Inspection (FAI) reports.
Certified Certificate of Conformance, material lot traceability, ESD-safe protective packaging, and encrypted data archiving.
Audit & Compliance Hub
NiKo Carbon Works is fully compliant with U.S. export controls and military logistics. We maintain rigorous physical and cyber safeguards for technical data packages (TDPs), military drawings, and ITAR-restricted component fabrication.
Conforms to United States Department of State Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) and Joint Certification Program guidelines for Precision CNC Machining of Carbon Fiber Composites & Aerospace Components at our Forney, Texas facility.
Industries & Prime Sectors Served
Client Confidence
NiKo Carbon Works delivered 40 tactical UAV central airframe chassis with zero ply delamination and tolerances within ±0.0005″. Their ITAR data security and rapid prototype turnaround gave our defense team complete confidence.
Finding a composite machine shop that actually understands prepreg carbon fiber cutting and holds real JCP clearance is exceedingly rare. Nikola worked with our engineering team directly and delivered spotless avionics mounts on schedule.
The fit and finish on NiKo’s custom carbon fiber bezels is unbelievable. Real 3K glossy twill, perfectly chamfered edges, and 100% authentic carbon. They are by far the gold standard for CNC composite parts.
