Custom Manufacturing Process

Six steps. No surprises.

Custom manufacturing goes wrong when approval happens after production. Our process front-loads the decisions — drawing, material, prototype — so production is execution, not experimentation.

Brief & Drawings

You send: CAD (STEP/IGES), PDF/DXF drawings, or clear photos with dimensions — plus the part's weight, quantity, and how it is handled and shipped. No CAD? A physical sample can be measured instead.

Engineering Proposal

We return: a construction proposal with material and density selection, case or insert configuration, and an itemised quotation including prototype and production pricing, with lead times stated per stage.

Prototype

A first article is produced on production processes and fit-checked against your part, or against a printed template where the part cannot travel. Photos and measurements are shared for review.

Approval

You approve the prototype as-is or with changes. Changes are engineered into the final drawing set, which becomes the controlling specification for production and QC.

Production

Conversion, fabrication and assembly run against the approved drawing set, with in-process dimensional and fit checks at defined points — see Quality Control.

QC & Dispatch

Final inspection against the specification, a photo report before cartons close, and export-grade packing matched to your freight method and destination.

What Speeds Things Up

Good inputs, fast engineering

Native CAD beats photos

A STEP file of the part lets us model cavities directly. Photos with a ruler in frame are a workable second choice.

Tell us the route

Courier, palletised freight, technician's van or sea container — handling risk drives density and shell choices.

Quantities, even rough ones

Prototype-only, a first run of 50, or an ongoing programme — quantity changes the economical conversion process.

Repeat orders are drawing repeats

Reorders run from the stored drawing set — same cavities, same materials, no re-engineering.

Step one takes five minutes.

Complete the RFQ form and attach what you have — CAD, drawing or photos. We handle the rest of the engineering conversation from there.
