What Production CNC Machining Means at DEK
Production machining reproduces a validated design under a documented, quality-gated process: every unit is traceable to inspection records, not a machinist’s memory. Most programs start after moving from prototype to production, with fixturing and inspection plans locked before the first lot runs.
DEK brings 20+ years in precision machining to these programs, from 3-axis CNC machining to 5-axis CNC machining. For single parts or very small batches, low volume CNC machining is the better starting point.
Why OEMs Choose DEK for Production
Certifications, documented process control and a large OEM base keep a specification consistent as volume grows.
-
On-Time Delivery
Production programs ship at a 98.6%+ on-time delivery rate, with shipping as fast as 1 day once parts clear OQC inspection.
-
Full Traceability
Every unit is traceable to inspection records, and material grade and lot traceability are locked at kickoff to avoid machinability surprises mid-run.
-
Certified Quality System
ISO 9001, AS9100D and ISO 13485 certifications from TUV, with one stage-gated QMS for aerospace, medical, robotics and automation programs.
-
Proven OEM Base
2,300+ OEM clients across Europe and North America and 1.2M+ critical parts machined annually, built on 20+ years in precision machining.
Dedicated Account Management
Each program gets dedicated account management, so a specification stays consistent as volume grows, without the re-qualification risk of switching shops between prototype and production.
Production CNC Machining Capabilities
Quality gates, traceability, tolerances, qualified processes and scale-up rules that govern every DEK production run.
Production CNC Machining vs. Other Order Types
Choose production machining once a design has cleared prototype sign-off and must repeat the same tolerance and finish across a full run.

Part Sizes and Features We Produce
Production runs cover micro parts, large parts and fit-critical features, each held to a documented capability tolerance.
-
Micro Parts Under 10 mm
Sub-10 mm parts held to ±0.003 mm through micro machining, inspected on in-house CMM.
-
Large Parts to ~1000 mm
Part sizes up to ~1000 mm through large part CNC machining, under the same QMS.
-
Fit-Critical Assemblies
Shaft-bore fits and coaxiality held to ±0.005 mm, as on custom shafts run in lots.
-
5-Axis Profiles
Profile control to ±0.01 mm on complex geometry through 5-axis CNC machining.
-
Gears in Production Lots
Gear machining and cutting is qualified for production runs alongside milling and turning.
Production Risks We Control
-
Mid-Run Machinability
Material grade and lot traceability are locked at kickoff, which avoids machinability surprises once the production run has started.
-
Re-Qualification Risk
Running prototype and production in one shop under one QMS removes the re-qualification risk of switching suppliers as volume grows.
-
Tooling Cost on Small Lots
With no MOQ, a pilot lot runs on prototype tooling, and fixturing and tooling costs are amortized across the confirmed release lot.
-
Batch Consistency
SPC monitoring and IPQC checks during the run keep tolerance and finish consistent from the first unit to the last of each lot.
Certified Production Quality
Every run follows IQC, IPQC, FAI, OQC, SPC and CAPA stage-gates, certified by TUV.
