Part of the Ouroboros team in front of the NTX 2000
Ouroboros Space and Defense was founded in 2016 in Lakewood, Colorado. The ten-member team has years of experience in demanding industries such as aerospace, defense, and nuclear. With this expertise, Ouroboros specializes in the high-precision machining of components for rocket engines. Customers include NASA and well-known industry giants such as SpaceX, United Launch Alliance, and Blue Origin. To meet the increasing demand for these critical components while maintaining high-quality standards, the company has added three high-end DMG MORI machines – a DMU 95 monoBLOCK, an NTX 2000 and a DMU 50 - to its machine portfolio since 2021.
14% growth in the field of rocket propulsion systems
“We are experiencing rapid growth in the aerospace sector, especially in rocket and hypersonic propulsion applications. Annual growth in the sector is over 14 percent,” says Nathan Bourgeois, Owner of Ouroboros Space and Defense, describing current developments in his market environment. As a result, he says, his team is in greater demand than ever to manufacture innovative technologies that provide sufficient thrust – literally – to forward-looking aerospace projects. “To do this, we first solve the major challenges in manufacturing with our team, and then build the most advanced hardware in the industry.”

Thanks to the 5-axis and Turn & Mill machines from DMG MORI, we have massively reduced lead times on high complexity hardware. We now regularly achieve accuracies in the ten-thousandth range that were previously impossible to manufacture.
