How Fictiv Outperforms the Competition

What others are just starting to offer, Fictiv has delivered for years—with higher precision, broader scope, and greater scale.

Them Fictiv
Tolerances CNC milling down to 0.0010” (standard 0.005”), 10–50x looser than Fictiv’s tightest tolerance CNC machining down to ±0.0002” across milling, turning, EDM, gear hobbing, & more
Geometric Features Only recently able to machine hard-to-reach features (previously just ignored them!) Complex geometries supported for 10+ years
Finishing Options Limited: mechanical finishing, anodizing, chromate, nickel, zinc, powder coat Full menu: chem film, plating, blasting, tumbling, painting, dyeing, custom coatings, & more →
Assembly & Hardware Rudimentary: dowel pins, helicoils, PEM inserts Comprehensive assemblies & sub-assemblies: welding, hardware, kitting, full BOM builds
Quality & Documentation Basic inspection reports, cannot inspect advanced GD&T, no historical CMM capability Robust QMS: in-region inspections, CMMs, advanced GD&T, CoCs, visual inspection reports standard

Traditional Suppliers & Digital Marketplaces vs. Fictiv

See how Fictiv stacks up on speed, quality, scale, support, and risk. 

Traditional Suppliers Digital Marketplaces Fictiv
Speed Slow quotes, inconsistent lead times Instant quotes, little follow-up—delivery not guaranteed Instant quotes & fast, reliable lead times
Quality Inconsistent checks, manual oversight Little to no oversight QMS, in-region inspections, certified materials
Scale Narrow, regional capacity Broad but unvetted 250+ vetted partners in USA, Mexico, China, India
Support Minimal service Digital-only, self-serve Real engineers, dedicated PMs
Risk Exposed to tariffs & disruptions Lowest-bidder sourcing Trusted suppliers with regular audits, tariff risk management, multi-region resilience

JOE TEDESCO

Production at the pace of innovation

"The difference that Fictiv offers is that tight turnaround time. I have a concept in my head, upload it to a website, and I get the part 3 days later -I don't think there's anything faster available."
