TDBTec by the Numbers
How TDBTec Outperforms the Competition
What others are just starting to offer, TDBTec has delivered for years—with higher precision, broader scope, and greater scale.
| Them | TDB | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. TDBTec
| 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 |
