Ordering Process

1 Step 1 — Initial Inquiry & Project Definition

We start by understanding whether the project is technically and commercially suitable.

To begin, customers typically provide:

  • 2D / 3D drawings, or
  • Physical samples, or
  • A clear description of function, application, and usage environment

At this stage, we focus on:

  • Functional intent and application scenario
  • Structural and assembly requirements
  • Expected quantities (prototype, trial run, or batch production)
  • Material and surface finish expectations

This step is about project clarification, not pricing.

2 Step 2 — Engineering Review & Manufacturing Feasibility

Before any commercial commitment, we conduct an internal engineering evaluation, including:

  • Manufacturability with our equipment and processes
  • Process planning (cutting, bending, welding, assembly)
  • Risk assessment for tolerance, deformation, and repeatability
  • Identification of major cost drivers

If needed, we may propose:

  • Process-oriented design adjustments
  • Structural simplifications for manufacturability
  • Alternative materials or finishes

Only projects that pass this evaluation move forward.

3 Step 3 — Quotation, Payment Terms & Order Confirmation

After technical alignment, we issue a formal quotation based on confirmed specifications.

At this stage, we confirm:

  • Scope of supply and technical requirements
  • Lead time and production schedule
  • Payment terms and milestones
  • Delivery method and trade terms
Advance Payment Policy

To proceed with an order, an advance payment is required.

  • Prototypes, single-piece trial production, and samples:
    100% payment in advance is required
  • Batch production orders:
    → Advance payment is required according to the agreed payment terms

This policy reflects the fact that custom manufacturing involves non-recoverable setup and material costs .

No material procurement or production activity starts before the advance payment is received.

4 Step 4 — Material Procurement & Production Start

Once the order is confirmed and the advance payment is received:

  • Raw materials are procured specifically for the project
  • Production scheduling is released internally
  • Manufacturing begins according to the confirmed process plan

All custom parts are produced based on customer-confirmed drawings, samples, or specifications .

5 Step 5 — Sample / Trial Production (If Applicable)

For many projects, especially new designs, a production-grade sample or trial run is recommended.

The purpose is to:

  • Validate manufacturing methods
  • Confirm fit, assembly logic, and appearance
  • Verify surface finish and workmanship

Based on the results:

  • Approved → proceed to batch production
  • Adjustments required → refinement and re-confirmation before scaling

6 Step 6 — Batch Production & Quality Control

After sample approval (if applicable), batch production proceeds under controlled conditions:

  • Standardized processes based on approved references
  • In-process inspections for critical dimensions and assemblies
  • Batch-level quality inspection prior to shipment

The focus is not only part-level accuracy, but also:

  • Consistency across units
  • Assembly compatibility
  • Production repeatability

7 Step 7 — Final Payment, Packaging & Shipment

Before shipment:

  • Final inspection is completed
  • The balance payment must be settled in full

Once full payment is received:

  • Products are packaged according to size, structure, and surface finish
  • Shipment is arranged based on the agreed trade terms
  • Export and shipping documents are prepared
Goods are released for shipment only after full payment is completed .

What This Process Is — And Is Not

This process is designed for:
  • Custom, non-standard sheet metal parts
  • Welded structures and assemblies
  • Engineering-oriented OEM and industrial projects
This process is not suitable for:
  • Instant online purchasing
  • Commodity parts with unclear requirements
  • Projects without defined technical responsibility

Final Note

This ordering process exists to protect both technical outcomes and commercial clarity .

Clear payment milestones ensure material procurement, production scheduling, and delivery can proceed without ambiguity — and allow us to focus on delivering stable, repeatable manufacturing results .
