MANUFACTURING SERVICE
CNC & Precision Machining
Machined parts are evaluated by material, geometry, tolerance, quantity, process route, measurement capability and downstream operations.
QUALIFICATION BASIS
Machine capability, fixture strategy, datum control and measurement methods are reviewed against the drawing.
The exact control plan is agreed after the technical and commercial scope is understood.

01
Drawing and input review
Confirm the 2D drawing or 3D model, material, tolerances, critical features, finish, quantity and required inspection evidence.
-
02
Supplier-process fit
Assess the supplier against the part geometry, material, machining route, required equipment type, secondary operations and inspection needs.
-
03
Quotation and process basis
Keep the material, setup, tooling, machining, secondary-process and agreed inspection basis visible where they affect supplier comparison.
-
04
First-article through final release
Review agreed first-article, in-process and final inspection evidence, together with traceability, nonconformity status and factory-release records.
