Step 1 — Requirement intake
Send a drawing, sample, photograph or problem statement with the machine or application, quantity and timing. Incomplete inputs are fine; the review exists to identify what is missing.
CMTA
Custom engineering should feel controlled rather than mysterious. This is the sequence every CMTA project follows — and drawing approval, step four, is entirely yours.

How it starts
Incomplete inputs are a normal starting point
Send a drawing, sample, photograph or problem statement with the machine or application, quantity and timing. Incomplete inputs are fine; the review exists to identify what is missing.
An engineer reviews the enquiry and comes back with the questions that matter. Not a form response — the specific things that change the answer.
You receive a feasibility view, the proposed approach, the in-house and coordinated scope, and a quotation with a realistic timeline.
For custom, reverse-engineered and fixture work, a drawing or model is issued for your written approval before manufacture. This is the step that prevents expensive surprises, and it is yours to control.
Manufacture follows the planned route, with specialist processes coordinated through approved partners under CMTA's sequence and allowances.
Critical dimensions are inspected in-process and at final inspection, and documentation is compiled as ordered.
Parts are protected for dispatch. Where trials on your machine form part of acceptance, results are recorded and the job is closed against the agreed criteria.
Feedback is written back into the drawing and route so repeat orders match, and improvements found in production are captured for next time.
Scope and responsibilities are written down. Changes after approval are agreed on a revised drawing rather than absorbed silently. Drawings and samples are used only for your order, stored privately, and NDAs are signed where appropriate.
FAQ
The questions engineers and buyers ask before sending a drawing. If yours is not here, ask it directly — you will get an engineer's answer, not a brochure.
Still have a question?
Talk to Anita M.N, Managing Partner, or send the drawing and let the review answer it.
A drawing, sample or problem statement, the machine or application, quantity and timing. Send what you have.
Yes, for custom, reverse-engineered and fixture work — issued for your approval before manufacture.
On a revised drawing, agreed in writing, before manufacture continues.
Trials where agreed, feedback captured, and the drawing and route retained so repeat orders are straightforward.
