Custom parts machining may bring to mind large quantities for mass production. However, not every customer needs large numbers of parts. Some customers require custom fabrication services for their specialized projects. Industries such as aerospace, automotive, and aerospace devices require parts machining that involves faster production and tight tolerances. The advent of electric vehicles (EVs) increases that need.
Demand for customized parts and products is at its highest levels in most industries. Parts, especially replacement parts, are what keep everything we use daily running. Without them, almost everything would cease to work. Custom parts machining means that you are not limited to standard, commercial-off-the-shelf sizes for specialized projects. You can get whatever you need for your current and future projects made to exact specifications.
Modern Machining
Custom parts machining creates components for specialized projects that can’t be sourced from a supplier. It involves computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software, as well as CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines. These highly specialized machines can perform multiple functions, such as cutting and drilling, in a single setup while making the part to an exact standard.
Because machining is now automated, custom fabrication services for these types of parts are faster and incredibly accurate. What used to take hours and days to do by hand can be done in less time and nearly error-free. A CNC machine can easily make one part or a large number of the same part.
In contrast with mass production and assembly lines, custom parts machining uses specially made equipment that does more and involves less labor. These machines can conduct more than one task at a time, meaning faster turnaround for one part, a dozen, or more, as needed.
How Custom Parts Machining Helps
A prototype can bring a new design to life to test and see if it will work before engaging in full-scale manufacturing. The process usually starts with 3D Modeling and creating a mockup to see if the design is workable in a test phase.
Creating custom parts for a prototype may be a one-off design that’s being tested but might never make it to production. A prototype may also be used for marketing to show what a company can design and create. Custom fabrication services can help you gain proof of concept to discover if the design will work and make the process affordable without a large capital outlay for manufacturing and testing.
Sometimes emergencies happen and you need a part immediately. Your regular supplier may have to back-order that part for you, taking days, weeks, or even months. Worse, maybe it’s just not made anymore. A custom-made machined part may be needed to replace a discontinued OEM so that critical machinery can continue working. It could also be a nonstandard part that’s difficult to find and needs to be made to spec. Custom parts machining can re-create the exact part needed to keep critical equipment running in the quantity you need.
