Engineering at the center of the program

Prime Craft Metal coordinates contract manufacturing for companies that need parts or assemblies produced without managing each production supplier directly. The work can span drawing review, process selection, supplier coordination, inspection planning and delivery scope.

Programs begin with the information available for the part: drawings or models, material and finish requirements, quantities, critical features, documentation and destination. The proposed route and responsibilities are then defined for review before an order is placed.

  • Manufacturing routes selected for the part and program
  • Production coordinated through partner facilities
  • Requirements and commercial scope confirmed in the quotation

A four-stage execution model

The review points, deliverables and responsibilities are agreed for each program.

  1. 01

    Engineering review

    Review drawings, material, finish, quantity and critical features. DFM feedback and open questions are scoped with the quotation where applicable.

  2. 02

    Matched routing

    Evaluate process and partner facility options against part requirements, volume and required controls. The selected route is confirmed before production.

  3. 03

    Quality verification

    Agree acceptance criteria, inspection checkpoints and records. First article inspection and customer approval can be included when required and defined in the program.

  4. 04

    Scoped logistics

    Set packaging, freight responsibility, delivery point and shipping terms in the commercial scope before the order proceeds.

Programs we support

Engagements can be shaped around the stage, complexity and sourcing needs of the program.

  • New product teams

    Prototype and early production planning with drawing review, route options and approval needs identified for the part.

  • Growing manufacturers

    Additional production capacity or process coverage, with quantities, timing and inspection scope reviewed by program.

  • Established OEM programs

    Components and subassemblies to customer drawings, with required quality documents and supplier controls scoped before order.

  • Sourcing and procurement

    Coordinated supplier routing and a quotation that defines included parts, tooling, finishing, freight and other agreed charges.

How we operate

Five principles guide decisions from enquiry through delivery.

Quality management

  1. Clarify the scope

    Confirm drawings, quantities, materials, finishes and required records before commitments are made.

    • Requirements
    • Quotation

  2. Give useful engineering feedback

    Raise manufacturability questions and cost or risk drivers when they are identified during review.

    • DFM
    • Trade-offs

  3. Match the route to the work

    Evaluate production partners against the process, material, volume and controls needed for each program.

    • Process fit
    • Partner network

  4. Agree how quality is shown

    Define acceptance criteria, inspection evidence and any sample or first article approval before production release.

    • Inspection
    • Approval gates

  5. Communicate changes early

    Raise schedule, specification or production changes for discussion as soon as they are known.

    • Updates
    • Changes
