OEM vs. ODM Custom Aluminum Cases
Which manufacturing model is right for your brand? This guide helps you decide with a reliable aluminum case supplier.
Interactive Model Comparison
OEM and ODM models differ across several key areas. Use the buttons below to visually explore how they stack up in terms of control, speed, cost, and uniqueness.
Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)
The OEM model gives you complete control. You provide the detailed design, and the manufacturer builds it to your exact specifications. This path is ideal for brands with a unique product vision and a desire to own all intellectual property.
