ONE PART MADE RIGHT, THEN MADE AGAIN THE SAME WAY
Building a machine or a fleet part and need the same piece every time?
Low volume sheet metal production starts with one part you can hold and test, then repeats it in small runs. These guides cover what to check, what to sign, and what to send each time you reorder.
Approve it once, and reorder it for years.
Start Here With Sheet Metal Prototype to Production, From First Sample to Reorder →
The steps between a first prototype and a part you can reorder with one email. Learn when a prototype is worth it, what to check before signing, and how drawing revisions keep every run matching.
Each guide settles one decision between the first sample and the hundredth part. Start with the one that matches where your part is today.
The first part is your chance to catch a wrong hole or bend before the rest are made. Learn what to measure, test, and sign.
A drawing change partway through a run can leave two versions of a part on the shelf. Learn how revision letters keep the old and the new apart.
Ordering ten at a time or a hundred changes what each part costs. Learn where the savings come from and where they stop.
A cracked guard or a rusted bracket can sometimes be fixed and sometimes needs replacing. Learn which way to go and what to send.
Have a drawing for a part you'll need again? Send it over, and we'll quote the sample and the run together. If you also order standard ductwork, it prices instantly on WebDuct, the online pricing and ordering portal, once your company has an account.
Weighing a local run against an imported one? Local Fabrication vs Imported Parts covers that choice, and Custom Fabrication Cost Guides explains what drives the price. Every other choice to make before an order is covered in the Spec Room.
