Process Coordination
Primary and secondary manufacturing requirements are reviewed together around the final component.
Integrated Manufacturing Support
Manufacturing Service Package
FSD Precision coordinates multiple manufacturing processes within one OEM project, from primary part production to secondary machining, surface finishing and assembly support. Instead of managing each process separately, customers can review compatible manufacturing requirements through one coordinated project workflow.
This coordinated manufacturing approach can support medical equipment component projects combining precision machined parts, housings, structural components and engineering plastic parts.
This coordinated manufacturing approach can also support EV charging and power electronics projects that combine aluminum housings, thermal components, structural parts and engineering plastics.
- Multiple manufacturing processes coordinated around one project
- Primary manufacturing plus secondary operations
- Drawing-based review for custom OEM components
Why It Matters
Why Coordinate Multiple Manufacturing Processes?
Many OEM components require more than one manufacturing step. Primary production, secondary machining, finishing and assembly requirements can affect each other, so reviewing them together can reduce unnecessary handoffs between separate suppliers. This coordinated manufacturing approach can support semiconductor equipment projects combining precision machined parts, structural components, housings and downstream operations.
Fewer Supplier Handoffs
Related manufacturing stages can be coordinated through one project communication path.
Drawing-Based Review
Processes are selected according to component geometry, material, surface and assembly requirements.
Production Continuity
Downstream operations can be considered earlier instead of being treated as separate steps later.

Project Workflow
From Drawing Review to Finished Components
Project Review
2D drawings, 3D models and project requirements are reviewed.
Outcome: Requirements aligned
Process Selection
Suitable primary and secondary manufacturing processes are identified.
Outcome: Process route defined
Manufacturing Planning
Tooling, machining, finishing and downstream requirements are coordinated.
Outcome: Production plan prepared
Part Production
Components move through the selected primary manufacturing process.
Outcome: Parts manufactured
Secondary Operations
Required machining, finishing, assembly and inspection steps are coordinated.
Outcome: Requirements verified
Finished Component Supply
Completed components are prepared for repeat production and supply.
Outcome: Finished components supplied
Beyond Primary Manufacturing
Primary Manufacturing Is Only Part of the Project
Secondary Machining
Additional machining can be coordinated where cast, molded or formed components require precision features.
Surface Requirements
Finishing needs can be considered alongside the component's material and intended application.
Hardware Integration
Compatible inserts and hardware requirements can be reviewed as part of the project.
Assembly Support
Where appropriate, component interfaces and assembly requirements can be considered before final supply.

Cast Parts Requiring CNC Machining
Die cast components requiring secondary machining of critical surfaces, holes or mounting features.
Formed Parts Requiring Finishing
Stamped or formed sheet metal components with downstream finishing requirements.
Tooling-to-Production Projects
Projects where tooling, production and downstream manufacturing requirements need to be coordinated. See Mold-to-Production Solutions →
OEM Subassembly Projects
Custom component sets requiring manufacturing, hardware integration or assembly review.
Build the Right Process Route
Your Manufacturing Package Depends on the Part
Primary Manufacturing
- CNC Machining
- Die Casting
- Injection Molding
- Metal Stamping
Secondary Operations
- Secondary CNC Machining
- Surface Finishing
- Hardware Integration
Final Project Support
- Inspection
- Assembly Support
- Repeat Manufacturing
Not every project requires every service. The manufacturing route is reviewed according to the component, drawing and downstream requirements. For projects that also involve drawing revisions, engineering communication and ongoing production follow-up, see OEM Project Coordination.
This coordinated manufacturing approach can also support new energy and energy storage projects that combine housings, thermal components, structural parts and engineering plastics.

FAQ
Manufacturing Service Package FAQs
What is included in a manufacturing service package?
A manufacturing service package can include the compatible processes required for a specific OEM component, such as primary part manufacturing, secondary machining, surface finishing, inspection and assembly support.
Do I need to use every manufacturing service in the package?
No. The manufacturing route is reviewed according to the part, drawing and downstream requirements. Some projects may need only one or two coordinated services.
Can FSD combine die casting with CNC machining?
Yes. Die cast components can be reviewed with secondary CNC machining requirements where features such as mounting surfaces, holes or interfaces need additional processing.
Can metal and plastic components be supplied within the same OEM project?
FSD can review projects that include both metal and plastic components, including molded parts, metal parts, inserts, hardware and compatible assembly requirements.
Can surface finishing and assembly requirements be reviewed together with part manufacturing?
Yes. Surface requirements, hardware interfaces and compatible assembly needs can be considered alongside the selected manufacturing process.
What information should I send for a multi-process manufacturing project?
Useful information includes 2D drawings, 3D models, material requirements, estimated quantity, surface requirements, assembly needs and any known project constraints.
