General details
Custom-made to drawing is a service where a Seller makes parts to a Buyer's drawing or works out a solution from a stated requirement. It covers fasteners, fittings, assemblies, wire forms and fabricated parts. The drawing or requirement sets the shape, material and finish.
Process
A drawing or a requirement is given to the Seller. The Seller works out the shape, material and grade, and may suggest a solution if no drawing exists. The part is then made to that specification.
Materials handled
Custom parts are often made in carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminium and other metals. Harder materials can be machined or formed, but tooling and process may need to change.
Capacity
Ask about the largest and smallest part the Seller can make. Ask about the quantity for a first run and for repeat orders. Ask about lead time for a new drawing and for repeat parts.

This is a general guide to what to ask for, and it is not a statement from any supplier.
Ask for a certificate of conformance and a material certificate if needed. Check the drawing revision and the material grade before production. Ask for a first article inspection report for a new part.
