Engineer-led contract manufacturing
Metal, plastic and assembly programs coordinated from drawing review through inspection and delivery. Share a drawing to define a practical production route and quote scope.
01Requirement & drawing review
Send us a hand sketch, CAD file or legacy part sample. We review the information, identify missing requirements and agree any confidentiality needs before sharing files for quotation.
02DFM & tolerance stack-up
A design review can flag wall thickness, bend radius, tolerance and assembly risks before tooling or production is approved.
03Primary fabrication & tooling
Laser cutting and forming suit many sheet parts. Stamping or injection molding may suit repeat production after tooling cost and volume are reviewed.
04Manufacturing facility routing
A production route can be selected around geometry, material, volume and the inspection plan agreed for the order.
05Mechanical & electro-mechanical assembly
For assemblies, the build instructions can define component sequence, torque checks and traceability where the product requires them.
06In-line testing & quality inspection
07Export logistics & delivery
Packing, freight and customs needs depend on the destination and agreed delivery terms. We can include those items in the quote when requested.
08Program release & repeat production
Keep the approved drawing revision, inspection scope and delivery terms together when planning repeat orders.

About us
Prime Craft Metal coordinates custom metal and plastic component programs. We review drawings, materials, quantities and delivery requirements with you, then define suitable manufacturing and inspection plans for quotation.

Who we work with
Whether you are validating a design or running a multi-year supply program, the process and quality plan should match your stage and volume.
Prototype to pilot
Use DFM feedback and prototype samples to evaluate a design before committing to production tooling.
Flexible volumes
Plan repeat production with quantities, tooling and releases matched to the program.
Volume programs
Build-to-print programs need clear drawings, approval records and controlled changes.
How we support you
Start with a single machined part or hand us the whole product. Choose the scope that fits the drawing and volume.
From initial BOM to retail or industrial packaging.
For a complete product, define the bill of materials, sourcing rules, assembly instructions, tests and packaging before requesting a full program quote.
Sub-assemblies specified for your production sequence.
Sub-assemblies can combine fabricated parts, purchased components and hardware. Confirm the build sequence, tests and traceability in the order requirements.
Low-volume prototypes to high-volume production.
Compare machining, fabrication, stamping and molding by geometry, material, volume and tooling cost. Specify any material certificates or inspection reports in the quote request.

Application areas
Illustrative applications show how material, process and inspection choices change with the part. Share the standard and service conditions that apply to yours.
OEM subcontracting
Build-to-print parts and sub-assemblies for equipment builders, from first article to scheduled production.
Drainage applications
Drainage and plumbing components may use stainless, cast or formed parts depending on load, corrosion exposure and required standard.
Key sheet-metal components
Door and window hardware often combines stamped, cut and formed parts. Finish, hole pattern and packing should be specified on the drawing.
Illustrative applications
Industrial equipment
Example gear reducer: specify housing material, gear geometry and the run-in checks needed for your application.
Industrial equipment
An enclosure can combine cut panels, formed bends, hinges and a specified protective finish.
Drainage & plumbing
A floor drain design may pair a stainless strainer with a cast body; confirm load and corrosion requirements.
Water management
Choose channel material, grate opening and load class to suit the installation.
Doors & windows
Hinge geometry, material and cycle testing depend on the door specification.
Doors & windows
Stamped plates can be finished and packed to a hardware bill of materials.
Images and applications are illustrative, not client projects.
Why Prime Craft Metal
A useful quote defines the part, material, finish, volume, inspection and delivery terms. Use the checklist below when comparing manufacturing options.
Request separate lines for part price, tooling, finishing, freight and duties so you can compare the complete delivery scope.
Raise tolerances, material and assembly questions before tooling or production is approved.
Ask which facility will make the part and which certificates or inspection documents can be supplied for that order.
State your confidentiality and file access requirements before drawings are shared for quotation.
Agree sample approval, tooling ownership and change control before repeat production.
Confirm who owns quotations, drawing changes, inspection questions and delivery updates.
Manufacturing capabilities
Explore the processes that may fit your part. Machine limits, tolerances and available equipment are confirmed at quotation.
Turning and milling for shafts, housings, fittings and precision components.
Spur and helical gears cut, heat treated and ground to drawing.
Die, sand and investment castings machined to final tolerance.
Laser cutting, CNC bending and welding for covers, brackets and frames.
Bearings, seals, motors and purchased parts scoped to the assembly BOM.
Standard and custom hardware, plated and finished to specification.
Sub-assembly and final assembly with project-specific test requirements.
Protective packing and freight options reviewed for the destination.
Quality assurance
Raw material and purchased parts can be checked against specifications and certificates when required by the plan.
First-piece checks and in-process sampling can be included in the control plan.
Dimensional, visual and functional checks selected against agreed acceptance criteria.

FAQ
Send what you have. We can discuss the engineering work needed before a manufacturing quote, including whether a production drawing is required.
The production location and facility details should be confirmed in the quotation for your part.
Share the destination so available freight options and import responsibilities can be confirmed.
Pilot quantities depend on the process and tooling. Send your target quantity and intended production volume for a suitable route.
PDF, DWG, DXF, STEP, IGES and clear photos. Sketches on paper are fine too.
Minimums vary by process, material and tooling. State both your first order and annual demand when requesting a quote.
Tell us if an NDA or restricted file access is required before you share confidential drawings.
Freight, duties and customs responsibilities depend on the agreed delivery terms. Ask for these costs to be itemized in the quote.
A DFM review can check wall thickness, bend geometry, draft, tolerances and material availability. The scope depends on the part and process.
Specify the critical dimensions, acceptance criteria and documents needed. Inspection methods and reports should be agreed before production.
Timing depends on drawing readiness, process, tooling, quantity and delivery route. Request a schedule with the quotation.
