Do you rely on a request for quote (RFQ) to get accurate pricing from your CNC machining partners? This vital process not only results in a quote but also provides details about timelines, capabilities, machining techniques, external services, and more. It also serves as a guide after the work has been awarded.
In today’s world, people don’t just want a job. People want fulfilling careers, with opportunities to learn, grow, and advance while doing work that matters. Just as important are the people you work alongside, knowing that your coworkers have your back and enjoy sharing a laugh or two.
Many factors make an industrial CNC machining project challenging, from materials and tooling to complexity and tolerances. Sometimes the circumstances make it a challenge, like supply chain issues, tight timelines, or hitting budgetary goals with limited volume.
Stecker (SMC) has seen it all and worked with industrial clients to help them reach their goals and deliver the highest quality custom CNC parts possible. Here are a few examples.
For more than 50 years, Stecker Machine has been a leader in CNC machining, serving customers both big and small. So, why talk about our vision, mission, and core values now when it’s been a driving force for decades?
Stecker Machine is proud to be a leader in the CNC machining industry, and we occasionally — and humbly — like to toot our own horn. Today’s topic is a tough one: selecting just four CNC automotive parts to talk about. It almost feels like being asked to choose a favorite child!
Sourcing and procuring precision parts with complex designs requires a balance between cost, quality, and on-time delivery. And when CNC machined parts enter the equation, precision, complexity, and speed of production add even more complexity to the task, making your choice of CNC engineering partner critical.
When designing a machined part, one of the main considerations is its material. Aluminum alloys are commonly used in CNC machining for a variety of industries and applications. However, before it can be shaped into precision parts, it must first undergo one of several casting processes.
Sustainability has become a crucial part of nearly every industry, and manufacturing is no exception.
Few industries are growing as rapidly as electric vehicle (EV) production. This urgency is pushing manufacturers to constantly seek innovative solutions to enhance efficiency, precision, and reliability while integrating advanced manufacturing techniques.
CNC machining (computer numerical control machining), is precision machining that's fully automated, ensuring exceptional accuracy and remarkable precision. CNC machining achieves levels of complexity beyond conventional precision machining, plus it’s cost-efficient, particularly for complex components and parts.
