- Part ID, drawing revision and matching setup record
Product Overview
GPT Precision supports custom CNC prototype manufacturing for metal and engineering-plastic components. Prototype work may involve evaluating machining feasibility, assembly fit or selected functional features before further design development. Workshop images and finished sample photographs can help explain the process when they represent the same verified manufacturing project.
Key Features
- Consider a bracket with a machined locating face and a precision hole pattern.
- A suitable setup photograph can show how the workpiece is supported and located during machining.
- A corresponding finished sample image can show the resulting faces and holes.
- Together, these views can explain the relationship between workholding and finished geometry.
Manufacturing Considerations
- Prototype manufacturing begins with the intended evaluation.
- Identify the functional surfaces, fit requirements, relevant material and any features that must represent the final design.
- Inspection scope is established accordingly.
Quality Control & Inspection
- A manufacturing photograph should not be presented as evidence of a particular sample unless the connection is verified.
- Where actual records are available, confirm the part identification, drawing revision and machining operation before pairing setup and finished-part images.
- Captions should describe only visible or confirmed manufacturing details.
Specifications to Confirm
| Sample identity | Record the part ID, drawing revision and machining operation before pairing a setup image with a finished sample. |
|---|---|
| Locating face | Identify the surface used to locate the part during machining. |
| Features to verify | Mark the hole pattern or other feature linked to the setup. |
Assembly Considerations
Shared locating face
Use the same locating face to orient the setup and finished-sample views.
Mating requirements
Identify any mating surface or fastener pattern the prototype must represent.
