Swiss and micro-machining shops: small-part precision RFQs routed to you
Parts under half an inch with sub-thousandth tolerances usually bounce off a general CNC marketplace. If your shop runs Swiss lathes or micro mills, we have the work the big engines will not quote.
RFQs on the board
Small-part RFQs on our board
Medical and surgical instrument components
- Bone screws, orthopedic pins, dental drivers in Ti-6Al-4V ELI and 17-4 PH
- Surgical hand-piece parts in stainless and PEEK
- ISO 13485 traceability where the end use requires it
Electronics and electromechanical
- Connector pins, terminals, and threaded standoffs in brass and beryllium copper
- Encoder shafts and sensor housings
- Low-volume prototype and mid-volume production (100–50,000 pcs)
Aerospace fasteners and fittings
- Fuel-system fittings in 316L and Inconel
- Instrumentation and sensor fittings for turbines and engines
- AS9100 or NADCAP where the drawing calls for it
Micro-machining
- Features below 0.030 in on medical, optical, and electronics parts
- Tiny milled parts: lens barrels, probe tips, micro-fluidic manifolds
- Workholding and metrology confidence at sub-millimeter scale
What qualifies you
What a qualified Swiss or micro shop looks like
- Swiss lathes
- Citizen, Star, Tornos, Marubeni, Tsugami, or equivalent. Live tooling, sub-spindle, bar-feed capacity for your typical lot sizes.
- Micro mills
- Kern, Makino iQ, Mikron HSM, or equivalent. HSK or micro-collet toolholding and sub-micron positioning.
- Material experience
- Routine with free-machining stainless (303, 316L, 416), medical titanium, 17-4 PH, brass, PEEK, and medical polymers.
- Inspection at scale
- Vision measurement systems, Keyence or equivalent profilometer, air gaging. First-article inspection reports standard.
- Certifications
- ISO 9001 is enough for general industrial. AS9100 opens aerospace fittings; ISO 13485 opens medical.
- Secondary ops
- Deburring (hand, thermal, electrochemical), passivation partner, electropolish for medical.
What you get
What a Swiss / micro partner gets
Free to join; no fees
No subscription, no per-RFQ fee, no commission.
Repeat production, not just prototypes
Many Swiss RFQs are prototype 50 pcs now with a production release of 10,000–50,000 if the first article qualifies.
Realistic MOQ respect
Set your minimum lot size on your profile; we respect it and route accordingly.
Keep your own customers
Our RFQs are new to your shop; we do not call your existing accounts.
DFM credit
If you review drawings for feature-driven cost (undercut depth, L/D ratio, concentricity callouts), flag DFM review and we bring you in early.
