Do you need complex custom metal parts?
Product or machine building often require customisation. Thanks to our high-technological machines and the expertise of our employees at Vanderscheuren nv, we are able to process the most complex custom metal parts.
Our engineers base themselves on the design that you supply to us or have developed by us. From the design stage onwards, we start thinking about we can produce the part for your machine in a feasible, practical and affordable way. We determine the most suitable metal for your application and process it into the required end product, according to the right techniques.
1. Draft of the quotation and discussion
As soon as we have received your request, we review all the information and draw up a price quote. We then meet with you to discuss your concept and your expectations, the technical information, the quality and the desired delivery term. We incorporate this information in our quotation.
2. Technical design
At Vanderscheuren nv we work to a technical drawing, a 2D or 3D design. Either you supply this to us or our engineers create this for you.
3. Dispatch of the quotation and registration
As soon as the technical drawing is complete, we finalise your price quotation and send it to you. When we have received your approval or order, we register it in our price quotation system.
4. Internal meeting
All our department heads meet to map out the possibilities, bottlenecks and price indications of your concept.
5. Production
We launch the first production run of your part. After a first piece inspection, we make adjustments and produce your project.
6. Delivery and invoicing
You will receive the final product within the agreed deadline. We will send the invoice when the entire process has been finalised.

We aim to maintain long-lasting relationships with our customers by rigorously checking the quality of our work. We have a dedicated quality control and customer service department, a climate-controlled measurement chamber and a fully-equipped workshop with machinery for this. Our expert team takes every aspect of the metalworking process off your hands, from the engineering to the delivery of your product(s).
More innovation, productivity and turnover
Increasing innovation, productivity and turnover is a top priority for many companies in the machine engineering industry. It’s one way of strengthening your competitive position, in addition to creating added value for your customers. You can modernise your machines by having metal parts or entire machines custom-built. Moreover, they can also handle larger capacities, last longer and become more user-friendly and ultimately also increase your turnover.
Types of metal for machine engineering
Rustproof or stainless steel
Rustproof steel contains chromium, carbon, nickel and iron, among others. It is an easily machinable type of metal for machine applications that often come into contact with water. Rustproof steel is water-resistant, as well as corrosion-resistant, making it ideally suited for the production of custom metal parts.
Aluminium
Do you need lightweight metal parts? Aluminium is an interesting option in that case. This material has a natural, protective oxide layer, making it resistant to corrosion and the outside air. Aluminium has a low melting point and is easy to machine.
Steel
Steel is a strong, lightweight material! It can take a beating, but is also very malleable. This combination means steel has a very long life. Do you need custom metal parts for an interior application? Steel is definitely a good choice.
