All Manufacturing Partners must submit a test part as part of the onboarding process. No manufacturer can use our platform without test part approval.

Test Part Specifications:
Tolerance: Manufacture parts to the dimensions specified on the drawing and test part web page.
Material Grade: Any grade of material is acceptable.

Shipping a Test Part
Once your test part is manufactured and meets your quality standards, ship it to our UK Quality Hub for evaluation by one of our Quality Specialists.
Packaging: Carefully wrap and protect the test part in a high-quality box to prevent damage during transit. Include the inspection reports and a delivery note with your company name and contact details.
