The fixtures, controls, inspection records and commercial information needed when a part moves beyond sampling.
Sampling should confirm the process route, datum strategy, tool access, inspection method and finish sequence. Record drawing revisions and approved deviations before volume planning begins.
Volume production may require dedicated fixtures, tool-life controls, first-article inspection, sampling plans and packaging standards. Share annual demand and delivery cadence early so capacity can be planned realistically.

CNC machining may have no technical MOQ, but every order carries fixed engineering, programming, tooling, setup, inspection and administrative cost. For one to five parts, unit price is dominated by t
First protect production: identify the affected drawing revision and lot, stop use, segregate stock and define a verified sort. Then establish measurement agreement, disposition authority, root cause,
Select a finish from function first: substrate, corrosion exposure, wear, electrical contact, appearance, dimensional allowance and compliance. Then define color/texture samples, masking, rack marks,
