Low Volume CNC Machining Without Tooling Commitment

What this page covers

• Machined parts in limited runs, direct from a drawing
• The same machining route from prototype through to continuing production
• Vacuum casting as a companion route for a limited run of plastic parts
• Metal and plastic materials, with finishing applied where the part needs it

What to confirm before ordering

Low volume work still needs the same drawing discipline as a single prototype: material, critical dimensions, finish and quantity must be stated up front. Before ordering, confirm minimum order quantity and lead time for your drawings.

Drawing checklist

Send the drawing with units and scale stated, the material and grade, the critical dimensions and tolerances marked, and the finish required. State the quantity you need checked and the question the part must answer: fit, function or appearance. Uploaded files are used only for the quotation, and non-disclosure agreements are supported.

Quality checks

Parts are inspected with a coordinate measuring machine, a projector and height gauges, with quality control at each production stage, and a dimension report can be provided for a project on request.
