Custom Parts Manufacturing, One RFQ, No MOQ
Order exactly what you need, when you need it: one part for testing, 200 for a bridge run, or 10,000 for production, without a standing contract. Our on demand options guide explains how this differs from fixed-batch manufacturing.
One RFQ covers mixed processes and materials, so a titanium bracket and an ABS enclosure can ship on the same purchase order. The capability set centers on CNC machining, EDM, and grinding; sheet metal and 3D printing projects are routed to a matched partner process.
Why Manufacturers Choose DEK
Startups, SMEs, and OEMs, mostly in Europe and North America, rely on DEK for precision machining built around their volumes.
-
No MOQ, Any Quantity
Order one part or ten thousand under the same quote, and reorder in any quantity without switching suppliers or volume tiers.
-
One Partner
One partner across process, material, and volume tier, instead of juggling separate suppliers for prototypes, EDM work, and production runs.
-
Tight Tolerances
Tolerances as tight as ±0.005 mm, ±0.003 mm on micro parts, with part sizes up to roughly 1000 mm on the same RFQ.
-
98.6%+ On-Time Delivery
20+ years of precision machining, roughly 1.2 million parts machined each year and 2,300+ global OEM clients served on schedule.
DFM Review on Every RFQ
Engineers check manufacturability and confirm process and material for each part. Setup is a fixed cost per job, so larger runs spread it over more units and lower your price per part.
What We Manufacture On Demand
Processes, precision, materials, and order volumes available under a single on-demand relationship, from one prototype to production.
On-Demand vs. Fixed-Batch and Additive Supply
Choose on-demand custom manufacturing when volume or part mix changes over time. Our on-demand manufacturing guide details the difference.
| Criteria | This ProcessOn-Demand Machining at DEK | Fixed-Batch Supply | SLS 3D Printing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Machined metal, plastic parts | Locked volume programs | Additive-suited parts |
| Minimum order | None | Supplier volume tier | Partner-quoted |
| Contract | No fixed contract | Standing contract | Partner-quoted |
| Mixed processes | One RFQ, one PO | Separate suppliers | Additive only |
| Where made | In-house at DEK | Per supplier | Matched partner process |

Part Geometries and Sizes We Machine
From micro features to near-meter parts, each geometry is matched to the process and equipment that fits it best.
-
Micro Features
Sub-10 mm parts with micro features held to ±0.003 mm through dedicated micro machining.
-
Large Structural Parts
Structural parts up to around 1000 mm, handled by large part CNC machining.
-
Complex 5-Axis Geometries
Prismatic and complex geometries milled on 5-axis CNC, from a single prototype to a batch.
-
High-Aspect-Ratio Round Parts
Round, slender, and micro turned parts produced on Swiss turning equipment.
-
Fine Internal Features
Hardened materials and fine internal features cut by wire EDM and sinker machines.
-
Shafts and Bores
Tight-tolerance shafts and bores finished by cylindrical grinding after machining.
Common Sourcing Challenges
-
Mixed Part Orders
A titanium bracket and an ABS enclosure on the same purchase order, quoted together under one RFQ instead of two suppliers.
-
Irregular Batches
OEMs sourcing aluminum heat sinks in small, irregular batches as their product lines evolve.
-
Prototype to Production
A single prototype grows into a production line without switching suppliers, with setup cost spread over larger runs.
-
Secondary Operations
Gears, deep holes, and tapping completed as secondary operations on the same part, under the same order.
Certified Quality on Every Order
ISO 9001, AS9100D, and ISO 13485 (via TUV) apply to every order, regardless of volume.
