Service detailsYour Aratek manufacturing brief
Every stage.
A clear outcome.
The workflow is built around your part’s information, from the file you send to the terms you approve for manufacturing.
Part files & requirements
Submit the drawing or model, material, quantity and delivery requirements together.
Technical brief
An engineer reviews the request and identifies details that need clarification.
A proposal to evaluate
See price, lead time and manufacturing terms before choosing a supplier.
Manufacture as agreed
After approval, the suitable supplier manufactures the part against the order terms.
Inspection & delivery
The part is checked against the order terms and dispatched for delivery.
Design & engineering
Give your idea
a buildable form.
No production-ready drawing or 3D model? Start with an image, sample or legacy drawing. Our engineers turn it into a model and drawings ready for manufacturing.

Quality & confidentiality
Protecting your files. Precision in manufacturing.
Your technical files are business assets. Access is restricted, and quality requirements are recorded in the order from the outset.
Information confidentiality
Your files, with restricted access
Order drawings and files are first reviewed by the technical team, then shared only with selected suppliers relevant to your request.
- Selected access
- Technical information for people involved in that order.
- Confidentiality agreement
- A confidentiality agreement can be arranged for sensitive projects.
Traceable quality
Your parts, with clear requirements
The order's technical specifications are recorded so material, dimensions and manufacturing requirements form a shared basis for you and the supplier.
- Dimensional inspection
- On request, based on the requirements specified in the order.
- Non-conformity review
- Review of non-conformities and possible remanufacturing under the order's agreed conditions.
For suppliers
Manufacturing opportunities that fit your workshop
Introduce your equipment and capabilities. After evaluation, review relevant requests and submit manufacturing proposals.
- Showcase your capabilities
- Review relevant requests
- Submit manufacturing proposals
Partnership begins after a review of services, equipment and work samples.
Before-manufacture notes
A few things to know before you send
Common questions, answered around your part’s technical brief: files, access and what starts production.
The Aratek request guideFiles / requirements / review
Files & drawings
Should I send a 3D model or a 2D drawing?
A STEP model describes the geometry; a PDF drawing clarifies critical dimensions, tolerances and surface finish. If you have both, send their latest versions together. DXF, DWG, STL and ZIP files are also accepted.
Production preparation
Where do I start without a production-ready file?
An image, legacy drawing or description of a sample can be a starting point. Choose the engineering-help route so file preparation can be reviewed separately from manufacturing.
Drawing access
Will every workshop in the directory see my file?
No. The technical review team sees it first. Supplier access is limited to selected people relevant to that request, not every workshop on the platform.
Review & proposal
Does sending a request start production?
No. Sending files starts review and quotation, not production approval. Initial review and receipt of a manufacturing proposal are free at this stage; production depends on approval of the order terms.
