Good machining starts
with a clear conversation.

Material selection. Critical dimensions. The right surface finish. FORMCRAFT brings machining, sheet metal and secondary processes into one conversation, starting with your drawing and how the part will be used.

For equipment development, fixtures and product prototypes.

Different processes.
The same attention.

From individual parts to supporting components, the manufacturing approach follows the design and its purpose.

Feasibility, tolerances and lead times depend on the drawing and manufacturing conditions.

Beyond the surface.
Into the details.

A well-made part is more than a clean finish. Critical dimensions, mating features and surface requirements deserve attention before manufacturing begins.

01Drawing review
Clarify datums, tolerances and revisions to keep everyone aligned.
02Dimensional checks
Discuss critical dimensions, measuring methods and records based on intended use.
03Delivery requirements
Agree on deburring, finishes and protective packaging.

  1. 01

    Share the brief

    Start with a drawing or describe the application. Open questions are welcome.

  2. 02

    Define the requirements

    Clarify material, quantity, key dimensions and your preferred schedule.

  3. 03

    Discuss the approach

    Review the process, quote scope and finishing requirements.

  4. 04

    Make & deliver

    Plan machining, inspection and delivery around the agreed requirements.

Before we begin,
a few useful answers.

Can I start without a complete drawing?

Start with the application, approximate dimensions and quantity. A photo or sketch can help the discussion; manufacturing feasibility and a formal quote still require the necessary dimensions and technical information.

Can we discuss prototypes and small batches?

Yes. Use this page to outline either requirement. Feasibility, minimum quantity and cost depend on the material, process, setup and finishing; there is no blanket minimum-order promise.

Which drawing formats should I prepare?

STEP or IGES for 3D parts, DXF or DWG for flat profiles, and PDF for dimensions and tolerances. This page records file names only; it does not upload or read file contents.

Will I receive an instant quote?

This page prepares a request, not an automatic price. A quote needs the drawing, quantity, material, finishing and inspection requirements.

Will someone contact me after I fill this in?

This design showcase does not send information or create orders. You can prepare, copy or download your request here. Completing the form does not submit an inquiry.
