Most procurement managers choose their 5-axis supplier based on price and lead time.

Those should be the last two criteria on your list.

Complex parts in titanium, Inconel, or specialty steels leave no room for the wrong supplier choice. The cheapest quote becomes the most expensive decision — once rework, scrap, or delays follow.

These 6 criteria should drive the decision instead:
→ Proven experience with similar geometry classes
→ Simultaneous or 3+2 — and the expertise to explain the difference
→ Material competence that goes beyond aluminium
→ A real metrology concept: CMM, FAI reports, material certificates
→ CAM expertise that starts with DFM questions
→ Post-processing from one source — fewer interfaces, fewer risks

At FACTUREE, you bring the drawing — we bring the network that meets every criterion.

Steel rusts. Zinc-coated steel doesn't. Even when the surface is damaged.

That's not a marketing claim. It's electrochemistry: the zinc layer acts as a cathodic sacrificial anode, actively protecting the base material even at edges and cut surfaces.

But good corrosion protection doesn't start in the zinc bath. It starts with the right pre-treatment: degreasing, pickling, fluxing.

And it doesn't end with the zinc layer either. Passivation, norm compliance, and where required, the duplex system combining hot-dip galvanizing with powder coating.

We've put together everything procurement and engineering teams need to know in our complete guide on zinc coating. Take a look: https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0vSLVW0

Zinc coating is one of 50+ surface treatments FACTUREE handles end to end. Not as an intermediary, but with full responsibility for quality, delivery, and cost. Together with CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, casting, and 3D printing from a single source.

As part of this year's series on surface treatments, today we want to talk about powder coating.

Powder coating is the standard solution for metal surfaces in industrial manufacturing. Electrically charged resin particles are electrostatically sprayed onto the part and cured at 160–200°C. No solvents. High material efficiency.

But the process is only as good as its pre-treatment. No phosphating specified? No mention of conversion coating for aluminium? No duplex system for outdoor applications?

This is the step many overlook in specifications and the one that causes most complaints in practice.

What engineers and procurement teams should know:
→ Steel requires phosphating — zinc phosphate is mandatory at C4/C5
→ Aluminium for facade applications: Qualicoat or GSB International are requirements, not recommendations
→ Zinc die casting: max. curing temperature 160°C — low-temperature powder is essential
→ TGIC-free powder is not optional in many industries — it's REACH-driven
→ Duplex system (hot-dip galvanizing + powder coating) per DIN EN 15773 for maximum outdoor protection

Powder coating is one of over 50 surface treatments we offer at FACTUREE — from standard polyester systems to PVDF for facade architecture and IATF-compliant processes for the automotive industry.

Turned drawings into quotes. 5-axis, sheet metal, casting — all covered.
Ra 0.8, H7, ISO 2768? No problem.
Post-processing included. No second supplier.
That was our week. 👋

Moving a ton – with one finger. That's the CeiliX InfinityCrane in action.

What most people don't see: for a system like this to reach series production on time, procurement has to be just as precise as the mechanics. CeiliX solved that with FACTUREE.

Here's what they gained:
✦ No in-house supplier pool – one contract partner for the entire process
✦ Design changes implemented quickly, without interrupting development cycles
✦ CNC-machined parts with tight tolerances, helicoils and surface treatments from a single source
✦ Significant resource savings in sourcing
✦ Part quality that delivers in industrial use

„Eliminating our own supplier search saves us significant resources. With FACTUREE, we were able to significantly shorten the time-to-market of our InfinityCrane."
— Dr.-Ing. Torsten Siedel, CTO CeiliX Technology

At FACTUREE, we offer heat treatment for metals and a wide variety of other materials. It is one of the 50+ surface treatments we provide, in addition to manufacturing processes and a broad range of materials.

That is why we understand that heat treatment alters the microstructure of the material itself. Whether it’s hardening, tempering, nitriding, or annealing. Only temperature, holding time, and cooling rate determine the result here.

For safety-critical components in the automotive, aerospace, mechanical engineering, and toolmaking industries, this can make all the difference.

We believe that designers, engineers, and buyers should therefore be aware of the following:
→ Steel with a carbon content of 0.3% or higher is hardenable
→ Case hardening and nitriding enable a hard surface layer with a tough core
→ Titanium and special alloys absolutely require inert gas or vacuum
→ Standards such as DIN EN 10052, AMS 2759, and NADCAP are not recommendations, but mandatory requirements for safety-critical components

Many design errors do not occur in the geometry, but in the heat treatment. Wrong process, wrong standard, wrong sequence. ‼️

What do you think? 🤔

That’s why we’ve put together an overview: processes, suitable materials, relevant standards. All in one guide: https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0vsnpr0
