What we quote
Production and repeat work we price
Short-run batches, scheduled repeat orders, and parts moving from a proven prototype into a production quantity across milling, turning, Wire EDM, and grinding.
Quoting repeat work is different from quoting a one-off: fixturing, process order, inspection frequency, and material buys are considered against the quantity you actually plan to order.
Good fit for this process
- Short-run CNC machining batches
- Prototype to production machining transitions
- Scheduled repeat orders with release quantities
- Overflow CNC capacity when your machines are loaded
- Mixed-process parts that need consistent repeat results
What to include with your quote request
- Released drawing revision and CAD model
- First-order quantity and expected annual or repeat volume
- Delivery schedule or release pattern
- Material specification and acceptable substitutions
- Inspection and documentation requirements
- Packaging or labeling requirements
- Target lead time for the first delivery
Process-aware requirements
Details that change the price and the lead time
Real quantity and schedule
Pricing depends on how many and how often. A realistic schedule produces a quote you can actually order against.
Fixturing approach
Repeat quantities can justify dedicated fixturing that lowers per-part cost. That trade-off is stated in the quote.
Drawing revision control
Repeat work needs a fixed revision. Send the released drawing so later changes can be re-quoted cleanly.
Inspection frequency
First-article versus in-process versus per-lot inspection changes cost. Tell us what your process requires.
Material sourcing
Buying material for the full quantity can improve cost and lead time compared with buying per release.
Packaging and delivery
Protective packaging, labeling, and split deliveries are part of the job and belong in the quote.
