What Does Your Project Need?
Start with the component and delivery requirements. A project may use one service or combine several operations.
Machine from stock
Review parts produced from bar, plate or another specified starting form.
Explore CNC machining →Finish-machine a casting
Review critical bores, faces, datums, threads and mating features.
Review secondary CNC →Develop or assess tooling
Review a new tool, an existing tool or lifecycle requirements.
Explore tooling services →Finish or assemble the part
Define surface treatment and any required assembly or packaging.
Explore assembly scope →Explore surface finishes →Not sure which route fits?
Send the drawing, material, quantities and permitted alternatives for review.

Example manufacturing routes
Select the Operations the Part Requires
These routes illustrate planning options. Tooling, secondary operations and release requirements are confirmed for the actual component.
Casting route
- 1Drawing & alloy review
- 2Die tooling and trial approval
- 3Casting
- 4Secondary machining where required
Direct CNC route
- 1Drawing & stock-form review
- 2Tool access and workholding planning
- 3Milling, turning or a combined operation
- 4Feature inspection
Optional downstream operations
Surface finishing → assembly where specified → final verification, identification and packaging. Agree inspection at the relevant stages of either route.
Compare geometry, material, quantity, design maturity, tool investment, secondary work and the cost of the complete delivered part. Review the route again when controlled requirements change.

Manufacturing Capabilities
ZAODA offers tooling, die casting, CNC machining, surface finishing, and product assembly. Each can be quoted independently or connected into a controlled end-to-end route.
Manufacturing Route Selection
Process selection considers tooling, setup, cycle time, material yield, finishing, assembly, quality documentation, design-change risk, packaging and repeat demand to compare the cost of the complete delivered part.
