Materials
Every part starts with a purpose
Start with the part and what it needs to do. Explore machined examples, prototypes and small batches through materials, dimensions, quantities and supplied scope, then prepare the drawing details needed for a technical discussion.
Function and fit
Holes, threads and tolerances are defined by use.
Quantity and drawing pack
Provide the drawing revision and quantity required; a photograph alone does not define every dimension.
Materials
Materials and capabilities
From drawing to component, define material, dimensions and quantity for a focused technical discussion.

How it works
Material and finish
Material grade and finish are two details to specify separately on the drawing.
Choose a grade
The machined part lists 6082-T6 aluminium; the steel grade and prototype polymer still need confirmation.
Specify the surface
Brushing describes surface appearance; deburring concerns edges. Identify which areas need treatment.
Illustrative terms; no real order or contract.
