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 What tolerances can you achieve for CNC machined prototypes?
-
Q How fast can I get my prototypes manufactured and shipped from China?
A Standard lead times for rapid CNC prototypes and 3D printed parts are typically 3 to 5 business days, depending on geometric complexity and required surface finishes. Vacuum casting projects generally require 7 to 12 business days for mold fabrication and part casting. We ship globally via expedited air express (DHL, FedEx, UPS), which typically takes 3 to 5 days to reach most locations in North America, Europe, and Australia.
-
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.
-
