Custom OEM supply to your drawings
REALJET provides custom welded metal parts to your drawings for OEM and contract manufacturing orders. We review fixture contact points, joint gaps and weld sequence 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 fixture contact points, joint gaps and weld sequence. Agree which dimensions are checked on the free assembly and which use a checking fixture. A photograph provides a configuration example; your approved documentation defines the material, dimensions, performance requirements and acceptance criteria for the ordered component.
Application fit
Fixture contact points, joint gaps and weld sequence are reviewed against the equipment arrangement.
Material selection
Review specified weldable metals against the design, process route and required delivery condition.
Acceptance focus
Agree which dimensions are checked on the free assembly and which use a checking fixture.
Project specification and quotation inputs
| Item | Information to confirm |
|---|---|
| Component / service | Custom Welded Metal Parts |
| Material options | Specified weldable metals |
| Geometry and interfaces | Fixture contact points, joint gaps and weld sequence |
| Production scope | Welded component manufacture with agreed secondary operations |
| Inspection focus | Weld condition, distortion and finished mounting relationships |
| 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?
Welding joins prepared metal parts into a component or subassembly. The joint design, access, material and sequence determine the practical process, while inspection should address the functional requirements of the finished assembly.
For this product, the process is applied to join small metal parts into a repeatable fitted assembly. The particular review priorities are fixture contact points, joint gaps and weld sequence; 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
Joining is planned around final fit and accessible inspection points, with fixture datums established before production.
Clear acceptance points
Inspection scope focuses on weld condition, distortion and finished mounting relationships, 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
- Confirm material, joints and acceptance requirements.
- Prepare edges and fit the components.
- Establish fixtures and the welding sequence.
- Join parts and complete agreed post-weld operations.
- Inspect welds and final assembly geometry.
The final route is selected during technical review. Additional operations, purchased fittings and testing are included only where agreed in the order scope. Identify any required welding qualification, examination or documentation during the enquiry review.
Materials, finish and delivered condition
Material selection for custom welded metal parts can include specified weldable metals. 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
Agree which dimensions are checked on the free assembly and which use a checking fixture. The inspection plan should address weld condition, distortion and finished mounting relationships, 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 welded metal parts
What should I show on the drawing?
Identify fixture contact points, joint gaps and weld sequence, 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. Identify any required welding qualification, examination or documentation during the enquiry review.
Which material and finish should I request?
Start with specified weldable metals. 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?
Agree which dimensions are checked on the free assembly and which use a checking fixture. 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.
