01 Manufacturing Processes
How machining, casting, forming, finishing and assembly are chosen for a given geometry, material and volume.
ENGINEERING SUPPORT
ATOS supports custom mechanical parts projects with engineering review, process selection, inspection planning and quotation support. The pages below explain how we actually work, and each one links to the technical capability behind it.
Send us the drawing or just the question. We will tell you which process fits, what tolerance is realistic, and what we would need to quote it - including the case where we are not the right shop for the part.
Send Your Technical Request →Four areas that come up in almost every custom parts project. Each one links to the page that explains it in detail.
How machining, casting, forming, finishing and assembly are chosen for a given geometry, material and volume.
Material grades, coatings, plating, heat treatment and corrosion requirements we can work to.
CMM measurement, NDT, material verification, salt spray testing and the documents behind them.
What to send for a usable review: 2D drawings, STEP or IGES files, samples, quantities and tolerances.
TECHNICAL REFERENCE PAGES
These are the technical pages on this site. They cover how parts are designed, validated, manufactured, inspected and delivered - written for buyers and engineers who need to judge whether a supplier can hold the requirement.
Finite element review, tolerance stack-up and design-for-manufacturing feedback before tooling is cut.
Test benches, durability runs, leakage checks and performance validation for parts under load.
Machining, casting, stamping, forming, welding and surface finishing compared against your volume.
Incoming material checks, in-process measurement, CMM reports and final inspection documentation.
Tooling ownership, repeat-order planning, packing and export documents for North American buyers.
The eight component families we build for gas station equipment, industrial OEM and commercial vehicles.
If a requirement is not covered on these pages, it is usually faster to ask directly than to search for it.
HOW A PROJECT MOVES
No account, no download, no form to fill in before you get an answer. This is the sequence every custom parts project goes through with our engineering team.
PDF, DWG, DXF, STEP, IGES, photos or a physical part - whatever you have at this stage.
We check geometry, material, tolerance and volume, then say what is feasible and what is not.
We propose the manufacturing route and flag the changes that reduce cost or risk before tooling.
Price, lead time, MOQ and sample schedule in writing, against the exact drawing revision you sent.
ENGINEERING SUPPORT
Send your drawings, a sample photo, or simply describe the part and the quantity. Our team will review the requirement and come back with a process recommendation, realistic tolerances and a quotation.
