Home / Engineering Guides / Is It In Our Niche?

Our niche is the set of parts where we expect to beat the field on price and lead time.

A quick gut-check before you send the print.

Hardware and push-pull cables, volume barely matters

Ball joints, clevises, clevis pins, spherical rod ends, yoke ends, and threaded push-pull cables are competitive whether you need 5 or 5,000.

Fabrications, our sweet spot is 250 to 2,500 pieces

Because we cost setup and run time separately, wire, bar, flat-bar, and plate fabrications are most competitive in that mid-volume range.

Material size

Rod diameters from 3/16" to 3/4", plus metric equivalents, are where we're strongest.

Structural, not fluid

We do well with structural tube fabrications, not fluid or air-bearing tube.

Materials

Mostly carbon steel, but stainless and aluminum widen our advantage because fewer shops will touch them.

Lots of operations on one part

The more operations a part needs, the more our under-one-roof model saves you.

What we're not: we're not your bank, and we're not negotiators. You get the real number, the first time.
