Product Design Teams
Engineers, designers and product teams turning CAD into working metal parts before tooling exists, as GRACTS has done since 2017.
What Gets In The Way
These are the four problems this group of customers arrives with most often.
Quotes that take a week
The design review slips because pricing has not come back yet.
Suppliers who will not read the drawing
Tolerances get ignored, and the problem only surfaces at assembly.
One supplier per process
Machining, printing and finishing each mean a separate vendor and a separate schedule.
Communication through a middleman
Every technical question takes two days and loses detail on the way.
How GRACTS Handles It
- A detailed quote comes back within 24 hours of receiving the drawing
- Drawings are reviewed before quoting, and anything that cannot be held is flagged
- CNC machining, 3D printing and surface finishing run through one vetted factory network
- You work directly with the GRACTS team, with no middleman in between

Product Design Teams Questions
How quickly do you quote?
Send a drawing in STEP, IGES, DXF or PDF and a detailed quote is returned within 24 hours.
Do you work to ISO tolerance standards?
Untoleranced dimensions are worked to ISO 2768-m. Toleranced features are held to ±0.05 mm as standard and ±0.01 mm where specified.
Can one order cover machining, printing and finishing?
Yes. GRACTS works with a network of vetted factories covering CNC machining, 3D printing and surface finishing under one point of contact.
