• Metal printing listed alongside stainless steel CNC work for durable housings and test pieces
• Post-processing and finishing considered as part of the printed-part route

What to confirm before ordering

Metal printing and metal machining answer different questions. Printing wins on shape freedom; machining wins on accuracy and surface finish. State which property governs your part when you send the drawing. 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.
