Aluminum · MOQ from 1,000
Five suppliers.
Five people to chase.
One contact instead.
Tooling, casting, CNC machining, deburring, finishing — the whole chain, negotiated and coordinated by one person who has actually worked inside it. You brief once. We handle the four handoffs where projects usually die.
Built for DTC and Amazon brands who need production-grade parts without a five-vendor spreadsheet.

Start here
Which one of these is you right now?
Most brands land on this page from one of three places. Pick the closest and skip the sales pitch.
All I have is the sample
No 2D drawing. No CAD file. Every factory you email says send the drawing first, so the project stalls before it starts.
How reverse engineering works → 02I have the file, not the factory
The design is done. Now you need tooling, casting, machining, and finishing — and nobody wants to talk to you about four figures of volume.
What low volume actually costs → 03My last supplier went quiet
Deposit paid, replies slowed, updates stopped. You want someone who will tell you what phase the project is in without being chased.
How we handle this →The timeline
Real numbers, phase by phase
Most quotes hand you one number — '8 to 10 weeks' — and no breakdown. A number without a breakdown isn't a timeline, it's a hope. So here is ours, in public, including the two phases where we won't pretend a fixed number exists.
- 3–4 weeks
Reverse engineering
Only if you don't have a drawing or CAD file
3D scan plus manual measurement of the physical part, rebuilt into production-ready 2D/3D files.
- Varies
DFM review
Before any steel gets cut
Depends on design complexity and order volume. We won't put a fixed number here, because there isn't one — draft angles, wall thickness, and how many revisions your design actually needs decide it.
- 60–90 days
Mold fabrication
The longest single phase
Steel type and part complexity both move this number. If your launch date is tight, this is the phase to watch.
- 3–4 weeks
Post-trial correction
After the first trial shot
First batch of raw castings runs through deburring, then goes to the machine shop to fit fixtures, prove out the CNC program, and get measured.
- 1–2 weeks
Surface finishing
Final stage before shipment
Anodizing, powder coating, polishing — whatever the part and its destination market require.
- Varies
Mass production
Once the process is proven
Driven by order volume and part complexity. You get a phase-specific estimate, not a padded single number.
Two of those say "varies" on purpose. DFM and mass production genuinely depend on your design and your volume, and a shop that gives you a confident number for either one before seeing the part is guessing at you, not estimating for you.
Why it matters
What the coordination actually costs you
Splitting the chain across five vendors doesn't save money. It moves the project-management work onto your desk, in a timezone twelve hours from the factory floor.
| Five separate vendors | One integrator | |
|---|---|---|
| Who you email when a date slips | ✕ Five separate shops, each blaming the one upstream | ● One person, who already knows what the other four are doing |
| Who owns the DFM decision | ✕ Nobody — each vendor optimizes their own step | ● Decided once, up front, against every downstream process |
| Where the schedule lives | ✕ In five different heads | ● In one phased timeline you can see |
| What happens when a part fails inspection | ✕ A round of finger-pointing you have to referee | ● We find the cause and tell you which stage it came from |
| Who eats the coordination work | ✕ You do, at 2am, across a 12-hour time gap | ● We do — that is the actual service |
Who you're actually talking to

Daichen — foundry floor, 20 yrs
I started on the foundry floor, not in a sales office
My first job in this industry was inside a casting plant. That's where you learn which mold shops are genuinely good and which ones just quote well — you find out when their steel comes back and you have to run it.
My family's business is deburring. Post-processing is the stage nobody asks about during a quote, and the stage that quietly decides your yield and whether machining downstream goes smoothly at all. I grew up around the parts other people had already given up on.
The shops in this network aren't small operations. They've been supplying large manufacturers shipping overseas for years. What's changed is who gets access: the same quality bar, opened up to orders that start at 1,000 pieces instead of a hundred thousand.
Twenty years in, the thing I'd tell anyone starting out is the same thing that got me here — don't be afraid of getting it wrong. The mistakes are where the actual skill comes from.
Before you ask
Things most factories won't put on their website
You're going to find this out eventually. Finding it out now is cheaper for both of us.
We won't quote off a sample from a brand-new mold
A mold wears. Flash increases, wall thickness drifts, surface pitting shows up. Quote off a fresh-mold sample and the number is wrong before production even starts — we learned that the expensive way.
Cheap and high-quality at the same time gets a no
There's a floor we won't quote under. Customers have walked over it, gone to a cheaper shop, watched quality collapse at volume, and come back holding a mold that can't hold spec. We'd rather lose the quote than be that story.
Some designs need to change before they can be made
Draft angle and wall thickness set wrong for production don't fix themselves downstream. We'll show you exactly what goes wrong if you leave it — and what the fix costs later, which is usually the part that changes minds.
We don't do the gift-giving thing
It has cost us orders. We're telling you anyway, because it's the same reason your parts get inspected honestly instead of waved through.
Start a project
Send the part. We'll tell you if it can be made.
A sample, a sketch on a napkin, a competitor's product you bought online, or a finished CAD file — any of those is enough to start. If the honest answer is that your design needs to change first, or that we're the wrong shop for it, you'll hear that instead of a quote designed to win the order.
