Buyer Guides
Use these guides to prepare requirements and clarify supplier quotations. Project-specific feasibility and terms require written confirmation.
Choose a process comparison
Start with the finished part, material and acceptance requirements. Use the relevant comparison to prepare a supplier discussion; an article does not confirm feasibility for your drawing.
- CNC or sheet metal? Compare the released design and identify any redesign assumptions.
- CNC or stamping? Compare feasible routes at the same accepted quantity and order scope.
- Laser cutting or stamping? Separate flat blanks, forming, tooling and change assumptions.
- Milling or turning? Discuss features and operations without inferring equipment availability.
