CUSTOM INDUSTRIAL COMPONENTS

Drawing-led manufacturing support for custom mechanical parts.

True Blue connects drawings and project requirements with suitable manufacturing resources, process planning, quality expectations and repeat-supply needs.

MANUFACTURING SCOPE

Select the route around the part—not a preset service package.

Geometry, material, quantity, critical features, downstream processes and inspection requirements are considered together. Capability and resource availability are confirmed for each project.

01

CNC milling

Prismatic components, machined faces, pockets, bores and interface features evaluated against geometry, material, quantity and inspection needs.

Geometry / datums / workholding

02

CNC turning

Shafts, sleeves, threaded parts and rotational features matched to an appropriate turning route and any required downstream operations.

Rotational features / interfaces

03

Precision grinding

Feature-specific grinding considered where flatness, cylindrical geometry, dimensional accuracy or surface finish requires it.

Qualified features / verification

04

Secondary processes

Applicable finishing, heat treatment, fabrication and assembly operations coordinated as part of the confirmed manufacturing route.

Process sequence / documentation

DRAWING + PROCESS REVIEW

Resolve manufacturing questions before production begins.

A useful technical package separates confirmed requirements from assumptions. Drawing revision, material condition, tolerances, interfaces, finishes and inspection responsibilities should be aligned before the manufacturing route is released.

01
Identify critical-to-function features and mating interfaces.
02
Confirm material, condition, finish and any downstream processing.
03
Define inspection methods and required documentation.

QUALITY PLANNING

Inspection begins with what the drawing needs to prove.

Tolerances down to ±0.005 mm for qualified features and applications.

Achievable tolerance depends on material, part size, geometry, manufacturing process, feature definition, and inspection requirements.

Drawing definition
Datums, tolerances, finishes, notes and revision status
Process suitability
Material, geometry, feature access and process sequence
Verification
Critical characteristics, inspection method and reporting needs
Repeat supply
Approved requirements, revision control and documentation continuity
Review the quality framework

APPLICATION CONTEXT

A part is evaluated in the system where it has to work.

Function, interfaces, operating conditions and repeat-supply expectations provide the context needed to define a suitable manufacturing and verification route.

Explore application considerations

Industrial equipment

Load, operating environment, wear, interfaces and replacement cycles

Automation components

Alignment, repeatability, weight, sensing and assembly interfaces

Vacuum and sealing

Groove geometry, mating surfaces, material, cleanliness and verification

Mechanical assemblies

Fit, interface control, sequence, documentation and packaging
