Industry requirement matrix

Define what matters before choosing the process

The same manufacturing process can require a very different control plan depending on the application. Use this matrix to identify the technical, inspection, and documentation inputs that should accompany an RFQ.

Industry manufacturing requirements including typical parts, engineering priorities, material and process considerations, and RFQ inputs.
Industry Typical components Critical engineering requirements Material & process focus RFQ & quality inputs
Robotics & automation Joints, grippers, end effectors, frames, motor mounts, shafts, sensor housings, and fixtures Repeatable alignment, controlled fits, low moving mass, stiffness, cable routing, wear life, and assembly access Machined aluminum and steel, engineering plastics, sheet structures, precision grinding, and wear-resistant finishes Load and cycle conditions, interface datums, bearing and motor fits, motion envelope, assembly drawing, and inspection points
AI hardware & thermal management Cold plates, manifolds, heat sinks, liquid-cooling hardware, server brackets, and equipment housings Thermal contact, flatness, sealing surfaces, internal cleanliness, flow paths, leak integrity, and corrosion compatibility Aluminum and copper machining, sheet metal, controlled surface finishes, precision interfaces, and assembly-ready features Coolant, operating pressure and temperature, flatness and roughness targets, leak-test method, cleanliness level, and port specification
Semiconductor equipment Vacuum hardware, motion components, stages, fixtures, gas or fluid handling parts, frames, and precision covers Particle control, cleanliness, vacuum compatibility, low outgassing, corrosion resistance, precision alignment, and stable surfaces Aluminum, stainless steel, and compatible engineering plastics with CNC machining, grinding, passivation, electropolishing, or controlled coating Vacuum level, allowed materials, surface finish, cleaning and packaging instructions, critical datums, inspection report, and certificate requirements
Electronics Housings, heat sinks, shields, brackets, connector hardware, front panels, and molded internal components Thermal management, EMI and grounding strategy, electrical insulation, connector alignment, cosmetic surfaces, and compact assembly Aluminum, copper, sheet metal, and engineering plastics with machining, molding, anodizing, conductive contact masking, and marking Thermal load, grounding points, keep-out zones, connector positions, color and texture standard, marking artwork, and assembly interfaces
Medical & laboratory equipment Instrument housings, sample-handling parts, stages, brackets, fixtures, fluid-contact hardware, and equipment mechanisms Cleanability, corrosion resistance, controlled surfaces, traceability, repeatable motion, risk-critical dimensions, and material compatibility Stainless steel, aluminum, and engineering plastics with machining, sheet metal, molding, polishing, passivation, or electropolishing Intended equipment use, contact environment, cleaning method, material specification, critical-to-function dimensions, traceability, and applicable customer or regulatory documentation
Automotive R&D components, powertrain parts, brackets, housings, fluid hardware, fixtures, plastic parts, and low-volume assemblies Functional safety inputs, fatigue and wear, temperature and fluid exposure, repeatability, revision control, and production consistency Aluminum and steel machining, sheet metal, injection molding, heat treatment, grinding, and corrosion-resistant finishing Prototype or production stage, annual volume, load and duty cycle, material and heat treatment, special characteristics, control-plan needs, and PPAP level if required
EV & new energy Battery housings, cooling plates, busbars, connectors, inverter hardware, charging components, and energy-storage enclosures Electrical isolation, conductivity, thermal transfer, sealing, corrosion control, creepage and clearance, and safe assembly interfaces Aluminum, copper, stainless steel, and insulating plastics with CNC machining, sheet fabrication, molding, plating, coating, and marking Voltage and current, thermal load, coolant and pressure, dielectric requirement, joint design, plating thickness, leak-test method, and traceability
Aerospace & drones Structural brackets, motor mounts, gimbals, housings, thin-wall parts, landing hardware, fixtures, and prototype flight components Low mass, stiffness, fatigue-sensitive geometry, controlled material condition, complex multi-face features, traceability, and configuration control Aluminum, titanium, stainless steel, and engineering plastics with 5-axis machining, turning, grinding, EDM, and controlled finishing Application category, load case, material and temper, critical features, surface treatment, material certification, first-article requirements, and customer specifications
Industrial equipment Shafts, frames, housings, wear parts, machine spares, guards, fixtures, tooling, and mechanical assemblies Load capacity, wear, impact, corrosion, maintainability, interchangeability, alignment, and repair or replacement fit Steel, stainless steel, aluminum, bronze, and engineering plastics with machining, grinding, sheet fabrication, welding, heat treatment, and finishing Mating equipment data, load and environment, hardness, fits and clearances, replacement-part sample or drawing, inspection scope, and quantity forecast

Compliance note: industry names do not by themselves define certification or regulatory scope. State every applicable customer standard, inspection plan, material certificate, traceability level, cleanliness method, packaging instruction, and approval requirement in the RFQ so feasibility can be reviewed before production.
