Contract machining for custom machine builders

Total Manufacturing controls production to released drawings and customer requirements. When an ECO, ECN, or other revision affects work in process, the team reviews the impact on material, routing, machining, inspection, cost, and delivery before the updated requirements move forward. Customer-specific approval and documentation requirements are followed as applicable.

Yes. Total Manufacturing focuses on complex, low-to-medium-volume work, including one-off components, prototypes, small batches, recurring parts, and replacement needs. The same broad capability set supports the shift from an initial machine build to repeat orders without requiring the project to move to a different manufacturing partner.

Machine-builder engineers can work directly with Total Manufacturing’s production and technical teams during quoting and planning to review datums, bearing bores, mounting patterns, mating features, tolerance stacks, workholding, process sequence, and inspection access. Identifying these risks early helps prevent parts that meet isolated dimensions but create alignment or fit problems during assembly.

Total Manufacturing can coordinate milling, turning, grinding, wire and sinker EDM, waterjet cutting, welding, fabrication, finishing, and inspection through one Mentor facility. Keeping more of the manufacturing route with one team reduces supplier handoffs and makes it easier to manage process sequence, schedule, quality, and documentation.

Yes. Total Manufacturing supports large-format components and machined fabrications with vertical and horizontal equipment offering work envelopes up to 96" × 200". Practical fit depends on the complete geometry, weight, workholding, tool access, tolerances, and inspection requirements, so the drawing and model should be reviewed during quoting.
