As the global transition toward clean energy gains momentum, the new energy industry is experiencing unprecedented growth. From electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage systems to solar, wind, and hydrogen power, the demand for high-performance, customized components is rapidly increasing. In this dynamic environment, manufacturing technologies such as CNC machining, die casting, sheet metal fabrication, and 3D printing are playing a pivotal role in supporting innovation and scaling production.
Amidst this trend, custom manufacturing based on client-supplied drawings has emerged as a preferred approach. For suppliers with fast response times, mature processes, and multi-process capabilities, this creates a new window of opportunity to integrate into the fast-moving new energy supply chain.
Diverse and Fast-Evolving Demands in New Energy
Unlike traditional industries that focus on standardized mass production, the new energy sector emphasizes lightweight, compact, modular, and often highly customized design.
For example, in electric vehicles and energy storage systems, critical components such as:
Motor housings, gear components, and flanges (CNC machining),
Battery trays and inverter enclosures (aluminum die casting),
Control cabinets and battery module casings (sheet metal fabrication),
Complex cooling parts and functional prototypes (3D printing)
...often require small batches, short lead times, and multiple design iterations. These evolving needs demand flexible, precise, and highly collaborative manufacturing partners.
Custom Machining: A Flexible Model for Rapid Market Response
To meet such demands, many new energy customers prefer to provide their own part drawings and work with capable suppliers for precision production. This “build-to-print” or “custom on-demand” model has become increasingly mainstream.
It requires not only deep technical understanding and interpretation of engineering drawings, but also strong production flexibility, quick delivery capabilities, and quality assurance systems.
At our company, we specialize in CNC machining, die casting, sheet metal fabrication, and 3D printing, and we provide reliable custom solutions based on client drawings. We support our partners from prototype to volume production, offering:
Precision-machined aluminum motor housings and shafts (CNC),
Complex cast enclosures and heat sink structures (die casting + post-processing),
Custom sheet metal boxes and module housings (laser cutting, bending, welding),
Rapid prototyping of special parts (3D printing with engineering-grade materials)
Multi-Process Integration Adds Real Value
Design changes are common in the development of new energy products. Beyond machining to spec, we also assist clients in evaluating structural designs, optimizing manufacturing feasibility, and recommending suitable processes to reduce lead time and cost.
Some examples include:
For an energy storage client, we provided sheet metal + 3D printed samples during design validation, which shortened their R&D cycle by over 40%.
For an EV parts client, we proposed an aluminum die casting solution to replace a welded assembly. With optimized mold design and faster post-processing, the total delivery time was reduced from 45 days to 28 days.
Such flexible, drawing-based production support has become our core capability in serving the fast-evolving needs of new energy clients.
Manufacturing for the Future of Energy
The rise of clean energy is not only reshaping the global economy—it is also redefining manufacturing. Agile, high-precision, and multi-process custom manufacturing capabilities are now essential for building the next generation of sustainable technologies.
At KAIYE, we are committed to helping our clients turn their designs into high-quality, manufacturable products. By responding quickly, integrating multiple fabrication techniques, and continuously adapting to evolving demands, we aim to be more than just a supplier—we aim to be a reliable partner in the energy transition.
