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.
Cutting cost is driven by cut length, material and thickness, and pierce count. Laser is fastest and cheapest on thin steel and aluminum; plasma suits thicker mild steel and is economical on heavy plate; waterjet cuts almost anything with no heat-affected zone but runs slower. Nesting parts on one sheet and ordering in quantity lowers the per-part cost.
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.
Laser is fastest and cleanest on thin to medium steel, stainless and aluminum sheet; plasma is economical on thicker mild-steel plate; waterjet cuts almost anything (thick plate, stone, composite, heat-sensitive material) with no heat-affected zone, but runs slower. Send the material, thickness and quantity and we route to a shop with the right process.
Yes. Plasma and oxy-fuel handle thick mild-steel plate economically, waterjet cuts heavy plate in any material with a clean edge and no heat distortion, and large-format lasers reach into plate on steel. Give the material and thickness so the job goes to a shop tooled for it.
Yes. Tube and profile lasers cut round, square and structural tube to length with copes and holes in one operation. Say whether your parts are flat, tube, or both.
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.
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.
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.
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.
