A CNC Machine Shop in China Built for Global OEMs
DEK is a China-based CNC machining company that answers the buyer’s core question with documentation: certified quality systems, inspection records and direct-factory pricing for aerospace, medical, robotics and automotive programs.
Send 2D/3D drawings (STEP, STP, IGES or DWG) with target material, tolerance and volume. An engineer reviews the file directly, and one supplier carries the part from prototype to production without a vendor handoff.
Why OEMs Shortlist DEK
A few numbers carry more weight than a capabilities page full of adjectives. Here is what separates DEK from a directory listing.
Engineering Review at Intake
Quotes are not generated by a cutting-time calculator. An engineer who programs the part checks GD&T, thin walls, undercuts and tolerance stacks, then flags DFM issues before you commit to a price.
What to Check in Machining Suppliers
Process breadth, tolerances, quality stages and lead times: the data to check before shortlisting any overseas supplier.
Direct Factory vs. Other Sourcing Options
Choose a direct factory when you need documented quality and no-MOQ flexibility between prototype approval and full production. See contract machining.

Industries We Support
Aerospace, medical devices, robotics and semiconductor programs each get the tolerance, documentation and material control their sector requires.
Typical Parts & Challenges We Solve
From gearbox housings to micro components, these are the part types and risks buyers bring to DEK most often.
-
Gearbox & Actuator Housings
Machined to ±0.005 mm fit-critical tolerance for joint and drive assemblies. See robotics machining.
-
Brackets & Motor Mounts
Airframe brackets and motor mounts in lightweight materials for unmanned platforms. See drone machining.
-
Micro Precision Components
Sub-10 mm parts held to ±0.003 mm; Swiss lathes keep slender parts steady under cutting load. See Swiss turning.
-
Semiconductor Fixtures
Precision fixtures and chamber components where consistency across repeat batches matters. See semiconductor.
-
Complex Multi-Face Parts
5-axis milling holds ±0.01 mm profile control on parts that would otherwise need multiple setups. See complex parts.
-
Field Equipment Parts
Hydraulic fittings, gearbox housings and wear plates for off-highway builders. See agriculture parts.
Common Challenges We Handle
-
Hard-to-Machine Alloys
Validated on Ti-6Al-4V, Inconel 718, 17-4PH and 316LVM, materials where poor practice shows up as chatter, drift or tool failure. See superalloys.
-
Process Drift Mid-Batch
IPQC checks during the run catch a drifting tool or fixture mid-batch, and SPC flags variation on repeat-run parts.
-
Wrong-Alloy Stock
IQC inspects raw material and purchased components before anything touches a machine, catching out-of-spec stock before it is cut.
-
Unrealistic Tolerance Stacks
Engineering review surfaces undercuts, unreachable features and stacks beyond process capability before you commit. See undercut guide.
Certified Quality, Audited by TUV
ISO 9001, ISO 13485:2016 and AS9100D, enforced stage by stage on every production order.
