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
