What If the Price for Custom Parts Is Too High on Other Platforms?

Nowadays, many online platforms are acting like middlemen. They add a big margin to the price. If you’re looking to make custom parts, producing in China is usually the most cost-effective option.

Nowadays, many online platforms are acting like middlemen. They add a big margin to the price. If you’re looking to make custom parts, producing in China is usually the most cost-effective option.

China is known as the world’s manufacturing hub, with advanced equipment and mature technologies. Many high-precision and complex parts can be made here—at a much lower price than in other countries. Some people think Chinese manufacturing means poor quality. That’s not true anymore.

China has developed rapidly over the past 30+ years. CNC machining technology is now highly advanced. Many factories have adopted international quality systems like ISO 9001, and quality is guaranteed. It’s true that products from 10–15 years ago were not as good, but today is a different story.

China now uses machines from the U.S., Germany, Japan, etc., and many CNC machining service platforms outside of China actually get their parts made in China—then deliver to their customers.

In the end, the part is still made in China. You just don’t know it. You think it was made in the U.S. or Germany, but that’s not the case.

So trust this: Chinese-made parts are not low quality. If it costs $100 to make the part in the U.S., you could probably get the same thing from China for $70—with the same quality.

Does China Have Quality Control?

Yes. Factories here use various inspection tools, like CMMs (3D measuring machines), to check every sample dimension carefully. No need to worry about tolerance issues.

I’ve had cases where a customer changed the part dimensions after production. We accepted the return, re-machined the parts, and sent them back. No problem. It’s very convenient to get parts from China nowadays.

Is It Difficult to Order from China?

Many people worry that they don’t know how to order from China, or how the shipping works. Actually, it’s very simple. The global logistics system is highly developed. China has couriers that can ship worldwide, straight to your door.

Others worry about communication. But honestly, you don’t need to speak Chinese or make phone calls. Email is enough. Translation tools are also very accurate now. I’ve worked with many clients for almost 10 years—we’ve never met in person, and they’ve never been to China. Still, we work very smoothly.

I usually communicate in English. You don’t need to speak Chinese. And for tolerance, machining specs, drawings—we understand all that clearly. Don’t assume you can’t work with a Chinese factory. Many of us can work with you in English just fine.
