Multi-function custom parts
Components that combine structural, mechanism, shaft, gear or interface features in one drawing.
For a drawing that does not fit a standard component family, the right starting point is function, material, critical interfaces, annual demand and current manufacturing pain point — then compare the process routes.
Custom OEM components combine the geometry, material and functional features required by your design. SINTS reviews the drawing to compare practical manufacturing routes, finishing needs and production costs.
Components that combine structural, mechanism, shaft, gear or interface features in one drawing.
Programs where material, heat treatment, corrosion, magnetic behavior or finishing drives the route.
Small complex parts currently requiring several CNC setups that may justify MIM or a hybrid preform.
Parts that need DFM and process screening before tooling, supplier qualification or cost-down decisions.
| Component / condition | First route to evaluate | Why / watchout |
|---|---|---|
| Small complex 3D part | MIM / hybrid review | MIM may reduce setups when geometry and repeat volume support tooling. |
| Press-friendly structural form | PM | Conventional PM can be the lower-cost route when compaction and density requirements fit. |
| Simple turned / milled part | CNC | Do not add tooling when direct machining already fits geometry, volume and risk. |
| Thin sheet form | Stamping / fabrication | Sheet processes remain natural for flat, bent or drawn geometry. |
| Unusual material / performance requirement | Project-specific route | Review the exact grade, target properties, finishing requirements and material availability to select the process. |

SINTS custom reference
Complex near-net geometry for comparing manufacturing routes.
SINTS custom MIM reference
Custom small-part geometry combining several functional features.
SINTS custom referenceExplain what the part must do, what it mates with and what failure mode matters most.
Identify only the datums, bores, faces, teeth, threads or sliding surfaces that truly need tighter control.
Tooling economics depend on annual demand and design stability, not only unit price.
Heat treatment, machining, grinding, coating, polishing, assembly and inspection should be planned as one chain.
