§ 01 — Process Controls
The floor runs three processes.
Your part needs one.
CNC Precision Machining
Five-axis machining centers run aluminum, stainless, and engineering-grade thermoplastics in lights-out shifts. From heat sinks to structural housings, every feature is verified against your CAD file before it leaves the cell.
Injection Molding
Multi-cavity tooling in P20 and H13 steel. We run PP, ABS, PC, PA66, and POM daily. Mold flow analysis on every new tool; small-batch trials before full production release. Consumer electronics enclosures, connector housings, and appliance bezels — all from the same floor.
Sub-Assembly & Kitting
PCB insertion, hardware fastening, labeling, and retail-ready packaging run on the same floor as fabrication. One PO, one shipment, one point of contact. Consolidate three suppliers into a single container.

§ 02 — Compliance & Quality
Certifications aren't a shelf trophy.
They run on every traveler sheet.
Every lot released against a documented control plan. SPC charts are live on the floor, not filed after the fact.
Quality Management Systems — scope covers all production cells, incoming inspection, and final release.
Automotive-grade process discipline applied to every run. APQP, PPAP, FMEA, SPC, and MSA baked into standard workflow — not just available on request.
All materials and surface treatments comply with EU Directive 2011/65/EU. CoC issued with every shipment of consumer electronics components.
Production floor and electrical systems certified under UL 508A. Required for any component destined for North American market appliance or industrial control applications.

§ 03 — Sourcing Memo Evidence
Three verticals. Real tonnage.
Paste these into your memo.
Named verticals, verified lot sizes, actual defect figures. No vanity metrics.
18,000 enclosures. 19 days. Zero field returns.
A Bluetooth speaker manufacturer came to us with a 14-week backlog at their previous supplier and a retail launch date that couldn't move. We re-tooled in P20 steel, ran mold flow analysis on their existing CAD, and pulled forward the schedule by 11 days. Defect rate on final inspection: 0.3%. First-pass yield: 99.7%.
4,200 machined housings. ±0.003″ across every lot.
A hydraulic valve manufacturer was scrapping 4–6% of incoming parts from their previous shop on dimensional non-conformance. We ran SPC on the first 200-piece pilot lot, locked the process at Cpk 1.67, and held that capability through a 4,200-unit production run. Zero dimensional rejects on their incoming inspection line for six consecutive shipments.
From prototype to 10,000-unit PO in one supplier relationship.
Founder walked in with a 3D-printed prototype and a $1.4M Series A. We ran DFM review, identified three features that would have blown their tooling budget, redesigned them collaboratively, and delivered a 500-unit NPI run in week six. Full 10,000-unit production order shipped by Q3 — the quarter they promised their investors.

§ 04 — The Quote Process
Three steps from drawings
to a number you can defend.
No black-box pricing. No 14-day wait. The RFQ form on the next page takes 4 minutes to fill out.
Upload Your Drawings
STEP, IGES, DXF, or PDF. If you have a spec sheet, attach it. If all you have is a sketch and a target price, that works too.
Engineer Review in 48 Hours
A process engineer — not a sales rep — reads your files and returns a model-fit recommendation with preliminary costing.
Formal Quote with No Surprises
Line-item breakdown: material, tooling amortization, per-unit cost at your run quantity. No hidden setup fees. No rounding up MOQ.
Your part number is waiting
on the traveler sheet.
Quotes returned within 48 hours. Engineer review, not a form letter. Transparent line-item pricing you can put in front of your CFO.
"The line-item breakdown showed us exactly where our tooling costs were going. No other supplier had ever done that."
"We had a prototype on Monday. Forge had a formal quote with DFM notes in our inbox by Wednesday morning."
