When low volume makes sense
Choose low volume CNC machining for engineering validation, urgent equipment parts, design changes, pilot production or replacement parts where tooling is not justified.

Manufacturing and quotation review
XHR reviews the part function, drawing definition, material, finish, tolerance and inspection needs before confirming quotation details.
Quote details that matter
Send 2D drawings, 3D files, quantity, expected repeat quantity, material, finish, tolerance notes, inspection requirements and target delivery date.
Cost and delivery drivers
Setup time, programming, material availability, tolerance level, surface finish, inspection depth and shipping plan usually affect price and lead time more than the outside size alone.
What to send for quotation
A complete RFQ helps reduce assumptions and shortens the back-and-forth before machining starts.
2D and 3D drawings
Send STEP/STP/IGES when available plus a 2D PDF drawing with material, tolerance, thread and finish notes.
Quantity and revision
Include prototype quantity, expected repeat quantity, drawing revision and the target delivery date if timing matters.
Critical features
Mark fitted surfaces, datum faces, moving interfaces, cosmetic areas and any dimensions that control assembly or inspection.
Inspection and packing
Tell XHR if inspection reports, material documents, special packing, NDA handling or shipment photos are required.
