Share your drawings and discuss manufacturability, materials and finishing for precision-machined metal or plastic parts, from prototype to production.
Machining matched to part geometry
Material selection for the application
From fit checks to repeat orders
A useful CNC quotation begins with the features that make the part work. PCBPit supports machined metal and plastic parts for enclosures, fixtures, prototypes and production assemblies, with engineering review before the manufacturing plan is confirmed.
Share a 3D model together with a drawing that identifies critical dimensions, datums, threads and finish requirements. This gives the team the context to review machining access and inspection needs, rather than treating every surface as equally important.
Material, geometry and finishing work together. Define the functional requirements first, then review the manufacturing approach.
A complete brief helps us review the right design and quote the full scope. If an item is still undecided, tell us what you need to achieve so we can discuss the options.
Start your enquiryA tight tolerance is only useful when it is applied to the feature that matters and can be inspected consistently. Identify critical-to-function dimensions and agree on how they will be measured, including the part condition before or after coating.
Inspection reports and material certificates are available options within PCBPit’s service scope. Specify the required documentation in the enquiry so the team can confirm it with the quotation. For an enclosure or fixture, include mating-part information where it affects acceptance.
For an enclosure, bracket or fixture, the most useful details are the ones that explain how it fits and works. Use the quotation stage to settle these points before the manufacturing route is approved.
Give the CAD model and drawing matching part numbers, revisions and units. If they disagree, identify which information governs each feature instead of leaving the choice to the machinist. Mark threaded holes, mating faces and the dimensions that control assembly. Where a part fits another component, include the relevant mating dimensions or an assembly drawing so the interface can be reviewed.
For anodized, plated, coated or polished parts, identify both the cosmetic surfaces and the functional interfaces. State which holes, threads or contact faces must remain uncoated, and whether critical dimensions apply before or after finishing. Provide the required colour or finish reference if appearance matters. These instructions help define the complete part rather than quoting machining and finishing as unrelated tasks.
State what the first parts need to validate, such as enclosure fit, fastening access or fixture alignment. After evaluation, consolidate changes into a new drawing and model revision. For a repeat order, include the approved specification and any required inspection records. If you request prices for several quantities, keep material, finish and inspection requirements consistent so the quotations are comparable.
Share the model, drawing, material, finish and quantities.
Clarify access, internal corners, wall sections and critical features.
Approve price, schedule, finish and inspection documentation.
Build to the agreed requirements and coordinate delivery.
The published service includes aluminum, steel, brass, copper and engineering plastics. Provide the exact grade and application requirements so availability and suitability can be reviewed for your project.
A 3D model defines the geometry, while a drawing communicates tolerances, datums, threads, finishes and inspection notes. Send both when these details affect how the part functions or will be accepted.
A headline precision figure does not apply automatically to every geometry, material or feature. Identify the dimensions that need tight control and ask the team to confirm achievable tolerances and inspection methods in the quotation.
Send the complete geometry and functional requirements. The manufacturing team can assess access and setup needs. Choose the process around the part rather than assuming that a higher axis count always improves cost or suitability.
PCBPit lists anodizing, plating, powder coating and polishing. Specify the surfaces to be finished, the required appearance and any areas that must remain uncoated. Confirm compatibility with the selected material.
Prototype work is part of the service. State the sample quantity and what it needs to validate, such as fit, assembly access or appearance. Include expected follow-on quantities if you want to discuss the production route.
Yes, these are listed service options. Identify the measurements, material records and report format required before ordering so the team can confirm the documentation scope and any associated cost.
Material, stock size, machining time, setups, tolerances, finish, inspection and quantity all contribute. Mark only the features that need special control, and ask for the cost implications before changing a functional requirement.
Share the application, quantity and requirements, and attach your manufacturing files. Our team will review your project and clarify the next steps.
