Drawing-Based CNC Manufacturing / Engineering Application
Custom Metal Components for AI Server & Data-Centre Equipment
Grandmec supports engineering teams developing server, rack and infrastructure equipment with drawing-based machined components. Applications include mounting plates, brackets, housings and mechanical interfaces associated with equipment assembly and thermal integration.
Application Scope
AI Servers & Data-Centre Equipment
Assembly fit, drawing revisions, repeatability and thermal-component integration need to remain controlled across the equipment build.

Engineering Review
Engineering Points Before Manufacture
A drawing review is more useful when the functional interfaces and approved acceptance requirements are clear. Engineering design consultancies can use the same route for prototype iteration and transfer into repeat production.
- Establish hole patterns and functional datums
- Confirm assembly clearances and finish allowances
- Maintain clear revision status
- Review whether machining, formed metal or a coordinated process route best suits the part
Requirements at a Glance
- Component scope
- Mounting plates, brackets, housings and mechanical interfaces for server, rack and infrastructure equipment.
- Material and finish
- Specified by the approved drawing and reviewed with assembly function and finish allowance.
- Critical inputs
- Drawing revision, hole patterns, datums, assembly clearances, quantity and acceptance criteria.
- Batch approach
- Prototype, pilot and small-to-medium repeat batches reviewed against the approved requirement.
- Drawing inputs
- CAD model and dimensioned drawing, with revision status, material, quantity and critical features.
- Inspection
- Critical dimensions, documentation and acceptance criteria confirmed for the individual project.
- Limitations
- Tolerance, process route, finish, testing and delivery timing remain project-specific until technical review.
AI Servers & Data-Centre Equipment FAQ
Answers are shown below for direct review. Final feasibility follows the approved drawing and project-specific requirements.
Can one supplier support server mechanical parts and cooling components?+
Related mechanical components can be reviewed together, but each part requires its own material, drawing and acceptance criteria. Cooling assemblies also require a defined joining and test scope.
Where are detailed cooling-component requirements addressed?+
This page covers server and rack mechanical integration. For cold plates, fluid passages, sealing surfaces, cleanliness and test requirements, see the Liquid Cooling application page.
