Sector buyers need shops whose processes, materials and certifications match the demands of their industry. Sourcing medical manufacturing across Canada? Made to Spec matches your job to vetted Canadian shops. Describe your part once, process, material, tolerance, quantity and any required certifications, and our team routes your RFQ to shops that can actually make it, then comes back with 3 to 5 quotes. It is free for buyers, with no account needed, and your drawing stays in Canada.

The attributes that decide a good match are the specific process, the materials a shop is tooled and experienced for, the tolerance class they can hold, and, for regulated work, their certifications. An AS9100 shop is effectively mandatory for aerospace parts, ISO 13485 for medical devices, and IATF 16949 for automotive production. We confirm those before we route your job.

Examples of what can be made

  • Machined and fabricated production parts
  • Certified components for regulated sectors
  • Prototype through production runs
  • Finished, inspection-ready assemblies

What medical manufacturing across Canada typically costs

Cost depends on the process, material, tolerance and certification your parts require. Regulated sectors (aerospace, medical, defence) carry added cost for documented quality systems, traceability and inspection, but that documentation is non-negotiable. The economical path is matching the job to a shop already tooled and certified for your sector.

Why source through Made to Spec

One RFQ instead of cold-calling ten shops. We only route to Canadian shops we have vetted for the specific capability and certifications your job needs, so the quotes you get back are from shops that can genuinely fulfill the work.

How to spec your part

  1. Describe the part: process, material, quantity, tolerance and finishing.
  2. List the certifications your sector requires (AS9100, ISO 13485, IATF 16949).
  3. Send a drawing or 3D model and note any inspection or traceability requirements.
  4. Share your timeline and volume so we match a shop with the right capacity.

Frequently asked

What certifications should a medical manufacturing shop have for aerospace work?

AS9100 is the aerospace quality standard and is effectively mandatory for flight and defence parts. It builds on ISO 9001 with added requirements for traceability, risk and configuration management. Tell us if your part needs it and we only route to certified shops.

What are typical lead times for production medical manufacturing across Canada?

Prototype and short-run work often turns in 1 to 2 weeks; production runs typically run 2 to 4 weeks depending on material availability, finishing and shop capacity. Share your timeline in the RFQ and we prioritise shops that can hit it.

Can shops ship parts to the United States?

Yes. Under CUSMA, qualifying parts move tariff-free across the border. Ask for cross-border-ready shops and we route to ones that already handle the customs documentation and freight.

What is CGP registration and when do I need a CGP-registered shop?

The Controlled Goods Program (CGP) is Canada's domestic industrial security program under the Defence Production Act. A shop that examines, possesses or transfers controlled goods or controlled technical data in Canada must be CGP-registered. If your part or its drawings are controlled goods, common in defence and some aerospace work, we route only to registered shops.
