RFQ Complexity
Fit-critical bores + corrosion resistance requirements
Time Facets: Quote → Shipping
A practical breakdown for a corrosion-resistant SS316 CNC job with inspection focus on fit-critical features.
Quotation
0.5 day
Quote with lead time, assumptions, and recommended inspection approach.
DFM + Critical Features
0.5–1 day
Confirm bores, threads, sealing faces, and any datum scheme for consistent fit.
Material Procurement
1–3 days
Source SS316 stock and verify material documentation if required.
Programming + Setup
0.5–1 day
CAM + workholding plan to protect cosmetic faces and maintain datum stability.
Machining
4–6 days
Production machining with in-process checks on fit-critical dimensions.
Deburr + Finishing
1–2 days
Deburr/edge break and finish processing to meet surface requirements.
Inspection + Packing
0.5–1 day
Final inspection, optional report, and protective packing for stainless parts.
Shipping
3–7 days
Dispatch by express/economy based on delivery target and budget.
Engineering Decisions That Reduce Cost
Consolidate datums to reduce setups and maintain alignment
Clarify surface finish only where it matters to avoid over-spec
Define gauge/fit notes for bores and mating parts
Use realistic tolerances for non-critical features to shorten cycle time
