FAQ
CNC Machining & Custom Metal Parts sourcing questions.
Can Alpha Sourcing help compare CNC prototype suppliers?
Yes. We can coordinate RFQs for prototypes and compare pricing, material, tolerances, finishing, inspection scope, and lead time.
What files are needed for accurate CNC quotes?
STEP files, 2D drawings, material grades, tolerances, finish requirements, and quantities are the most useful starting points.
Can inspection reports be requested?
Supplier inspection reports can be requested and compared, but final quality acceptance remains with the buyer.
Do small batch metal parts have high MOQ?
MOQ varies by supplier, material, setup time, and complexity. Prototype and small batch options should be quoted separately.
