1,000 titanium rings, mirror polished, in one month.
A 1,000-piece Grade 5 titanium ring run, from prototype to mirror polish, with the fixture and program carried into production.
What the customer needed
A jewellery brand needed 1,000 Grade 5 titanium rings with a mirror polish, a consistent fit and a one-month delivery. The first samples had to prove the finish before the run was released.
Material
Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5), selected for strength, corrosion resistance and a finish that holds up in wear.
Finish
Mirror polish through our partner finishing plant, quoted as one finished part and one invoice.
Inspection
First article measured on the CMM before the run continued; report supplied as a PDF.
Fixture first, then the run
The prototype fixture and program stayed with the part. That is why the 1,000th ring matched the first, and why the customer did not pay for a second setup.
- Prototype. Machined the first rings, checked the fit and sent a finish sample for approval.
- Fixture and program. Kept the setup under the customer part number; no re-qualification for the batch.
- Production. Ran the 1,000 pieces in one schedule, with in-process checks on the critical diameters.
- Finishing. Mirror polish at the partner plant, managed by us as one finished part.
- Inspection and packing. Final check, then packed and shipped on the agreed date.

The fixture and program from the prototype carried into the run, so the mirror finish did not drift between the sample and the 1,000th piece.
