Custom OEM supply to your drawings
REALJET provides custom metal stampings to your drawings for OEM and contract manufacturing orders. We review forming sequence, burr direction and assembled fit before confirming the custom manufacturing scope. The manufacturing definition starts with the part's function, its installation space and the components it connects to. We review the requested geometry and delivery condition against those interfaces before defining the supply scope.
For this application, the drawing review focuses on forming sequence, burr direction and assembled fit. Define which dimensions are measured before and after forming and establish die maintenance requirements for repeat orders. A photograph provides a configuration example; your approved documentation defines the material, dimensions, performance requirements and acceptance criteria for the ordered component.
Application fit
Forming sequence, burr direction and assembled fit are reviewed against the equipment arrangement.
Material selection
Review specified formable metal stock against the design, process route and required delivery condition.
Acceptance focus
Define which dimensions are measured before and after forming and establish die maintenance requirements for repeat orders.
Project specification and quotation inputs
| Item | Information to confirm |
|---|---|
| Component / service | Custom Metal Stampings |
| Material options | Specified formable metal stock |
| Geometry and interfaces | Forming sequence, burr direction and assembled fit |
| Production scope | Stamped component manufacture with agreed secondary operations |
| Inspection focus | Die-produced features, burr direction and batch consistency |
| Quantity | Prototype, pilot batch or repeat order quantity for review |
| Supply condition | Loose component, part set or assembly as specified |
| Delivery | Schedule, destination and packing confirmed with the quotation |
Working size, thickness, tolerances and lead time depend on the approved design, material, quantity and inspection scope. Identify critical features and the applicable measurement conditions on the drawing so the quotation can confirm a practical acceptance basis.
What is sheet metal fabrication for this application?
Stamping uses tooling to cut or form repeat component features. Tooling design, material feed and production quantity influence whether stamping is appropriate compared with a cutting-and-bending route.
For this product, the process is applied to combine cutouts, embossing and formed details in repeat-order OEM parts. The particular review priorities are forming sequence, burr direction and assembled fit; those details connect the manufacturing steps to the equipment's assembly requirements.
REALJET manufacturing advantages for this application
Review before release
The drawing revision, component function and mating interfaces establish a shared manufacturing reference before production begins.
Process matched to the part
Production tooling and sample acceptance are reviewed against the planned order volume and repeat-order requirements.
Clear acceptance points
Inspection scope focuses on die-produced features, burr direction and batch consistency, together with the critical characteristics identified by the buyer.
Controlled repeat supply
Approved samples, material choices and drawing changes are recorded against the part number so subsequent orders can refer to the same release condition.
Fabrication technology and production sequence
- Review part geometry and annual quantity.
- Define tooling scope and material specification.
- Produce and inspect initial samples.
- Agree sample corrections and release the production revision.
- Run and inspect batches against the approved requirements.
The final route is selected during technical review. Additional operations, purchased fittings and testing are included only where agreed in the order scope. State expected batch and repeat quantities so tooling investment can be considered alongside piece cost.
Materials, finish and delivered condition
Material selection for custom metal stampings can include specified formable metal stock. The choice must reflect the actual application, rather than relying on the appearance or colour of the example image.
Review coating, plating or a bare-metal finish against the specified material and environment. Identify appearance zones, threads, grounding contacts and fitted surfaces before defining masking and finishing requirements.
Inspection and quality documentation
Define which dimensions are measured before and after forming and establish die maintenance requirements for repeat orders. The inspection plan should address die-produced features, burr direction and batch consistency, with critical dimensions and test methods identified before production release.
Agree whether the order requires material identification records, dimensional reports, sample approval or additional tests. Any specified certification, qualification or compliance evidence is reviewed for the actual supply scope before order acceptance. Packaging should protect finished surfaces and the geometric features used to install the part.

Questions about custom metal stampings
What should I show on the drawing?
Identify forming sequence, burr direction and assembled fit, together with the part number, revision and mating references. Provide a dimensioned PDF and available STEP, DXF or DWG files as appropriate to the component. State expected batch and repeat quantities so tooling investment can be considered alongside piece cost.
Which material and finish should I request?
Start with specified formable metal stock. Describe the operating environment and identify any functional or visible surfaces. The material, manufacturing route and finish are reviewed together before the quotation is finalized.
What needs particular attention on this project?
Define which dimensions are measured before and after forming and establish die maintenance requirements for repeat orders. State the acceptance method for any critical characteristic, and confirm whether the order includes only the component or additional hardware and assembly operations.
Can I order an initial sample before repeat production?
A prototype or pilot batch can be reviewed against the design and requested quantity. Agree sample acceptance, any required test evidence and the revision to be used for the subsequent order. Lead time is confirmed after the scope and material availability are checked.
