  • Tight Tolerances: ±0.001" (±0.025mm) and tighter
  • Surface Finish: Ra values from 125 to 8 microinches
  • Geometric Tolerancing: GD&T per ASME Y14.5 standards

Specific tolerance requirements depend on material, geometry, and application. Contact us to discuss your precision requirements.

Orders & Delivery

What is your typical turnaround time?

Turnaround times vary based on project complexity:

  • Standard Projects: 2-4 weeks for most orders
  • Rush Orders: 24-48 hour expedited service available
  • Prototypes: 3-7 days for single or small batch prototypes
  • Large Production Runs: Custom scheduling based on quantity

We provide accurate quotes with estimated delivery dates. Rush orders incur additional charges but guarantee priority processing.

Do you handle small batch and prototype orders?

Absolutely! We accommodate all order sizes:

  • Single Prototypes: Perfect for product development and testing
  • Small Batch (1-100 units): Ideal for limited production runs
  • Medium Volume (100-1000 units): Competitive pricing for regular orders
  • Large Production (1000+ units): Volume discounts available

Our flexible manufacturing approach ensures cost-effective solutions regardless of order size.

How do I request a quote?

Getting a quote is simple:

  • Submit Technical Drawings: CAD files (STEP, IGES, DWG, PDF) via email or contact form
  • Specify Requirements: Material, quantity, tolerances, finish, delivery date
  • Receive Quote: Detailed quotation within 24-48 hours
  • Review & Approve: Discuss any modifications before production begins
