Q How do I get a quote and start my rapid prototyping project?
A The process is simple. Send us your 3D CAD files (STEP, IGES, or STL formats are preferred) along with your material and finishing requirements. Our engineering team will provide a detailed, tailored quote and a free Design for Manufacturing (DFM) analysis within 24 hours.
-
Q Will my product design and intellectual property (IP) be protected?
A Absolutely. We take confidentiality very seriously. We are happy to sign a strict Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before you even share your CAD files. All customer data is stored on secure servers, and our manufacturing facility strictly prohibits unauthorized photography.
-
Q What tolerances can you achieve for CNC machined prototypes?
A Precision is our priority. For custom CNC machining, we generally follow the ISO 2768 standard. However, depending on the material and part geometry, we can achieve extremely tight tolerances down to ±0.01 mm (±0.0004 inches).
-
Q How fast can I get my prototypes manufactured and shipped from China?
A Our standard manufacturing lead time is 1 to 3 days for CNC machining and 3D printing, and 7 to 15 days for vacuum casting. We partner with international express couriers like DHL, FedEx, and UPS to ensure global delivery typically within 3 to 5 business days.
-
Q What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for your prototyping services?
A We have absolutely no minimum order requirements (Zero MOQ). Whether you need a single proof-of-concept prototype to verify a design, or a low-volume production run of 1,000 parts, we can accommodate your needs efficiently.
-
Q What is the difference between sheet metal and plate metal?
A Sheet metal is thinner (typically under 6mm), ideal for bending and forming, while plate metal is thicker, used for structural applications.
-
Q What’s K factor in sheet metal?
A The K factor represents the ratio of the neutral axis to material thickness in bending, critical for accurate bend allowance calculations.
-
Q Is there a minimum order quantity for fabrication services?
A No minimum order quantity is required. We support projects of all sizes, from single prototypes to high-volume production.
-
Q How much does sheet metal fabrication cost?
A Costs vary based on material, complexity, and quantity. Upload your design for an instant quote, ensuring transparency and competitive pricing.
-
Q How long does it take to receive my custom parts?
A Standard lead times are as short as 3 business days, depending on project complexity and material availability. We offer flexible shipping options for faster delivery.
