FAQ
Industries — frequently asked questions
Do you work with companies outside these six industries?
These are the industries where our process and material focus fits best, but the underlying capabilities — casting, forging, and precision CNC machining in demanding alloys — apply more broadly. Submit an RFQ and we'll confirm fit.
Can you support both prototype and production orders in the same industry program?
Yes. Many programs start with prototype or first-article quantities and transition to production once the part is approved — this applies across all six industries listed here.
Ready to submit your RFQ?
Send your drawing, material or process requirements, and program details. Oakmet will review and respond with next-step feedback.
