Sample and New Part Development
Turning a requirement into a stable, producible and inspectable manufacturing plan.
What This Covers
Engineering support runs from drawing review and manufacturability analysis through supplier technical discussion to sample development. The goal is to convert a parts requirement into a plan that can be produced repeatedly and inspected objectively.
The Stages In Order
Drawing and Standard Review
Identify critical dimensions, material, heat treatment, inspection and acceptance requirements.
Process Route Proposal
Select a suitable process and supply base according to the use, quantity and risk.
Rapid Prototyping
Use rapid pattern making and 3D printed metal parts for fast development where it shortens the cycle.
Sample Follow Up
Follow sample production, inspection and feedback, and close the loop with necessary improvements.
Decisions Taken At The Right Stage Cost Almost Nothing
- Drawing review is where a casting can become a forging or a weldment can become one part.
- Supplier matching is where process fit is weighed against price ranking.
- Process control is where inspection turns a specification into a delivered part.
- Logistics is where packing is designed around the destination, not around the factory.
Process Families Covered
Precision Casting
Silica sol lost wax and quick-drying investment casting from 0.01 kg to 300 kg, holding CT5 - CT9 and Ra 3.2 - Ra 6.3.
Process FamilyAluminum Alloy Casting
Sand, gravity, high pressure and low pressure aluminium casting with machining, welding and surface finishing in one route.
Process FamilyPrecision Forging
Closed die forging on 300 T - 8000 T presses, rolled rings up to 9000 mm diameter and open die forging for large parts.
Related Services
Drawing to Delivery Sourcing
One route from a drawing to a packed and documented shipment, instead of five separate purchases.
SolutionSupplier Qualification and Audit
Choosing the production base is the decision that fixes quality, cost and lead time for the life of the part.
SolutionQuality Control and NDT
Inspection planned before production, not improvised after the parts are cast.
SolutionExport Logistics and Delivery
Packing, documents and shipment handled as part of the part, not as an afterthought.
Sample and New Part Development — Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a separate paid service?
No. These stages are how every overseas order is run. They are described separately here so that buyers can see which decisions belong at which point.
Who is the point of contact during a project?
A technical sales contact covering the relevant process family, supported by the quality and logistics teams. Contact details for each area are listed on the about page.
Can you work with our own inspection agency?
Yes. Third party testing can be arranged, and inspection scope and reporting are agreed during drawing and standard review.
Start With A Drawing Review
Send the drawing, material, quantity, quality standard and target date, and the review comes back with a process route and a production base recommendation.
