We provide detailed timeline estimates during the quotation process. Contact us with your specific requirements for accurate delivery dates.

How do I request a quote?

Getting a quote is simple and straightforward:

  • Send us your technical drawings (PDF, DWG, DXF, or STEP files)
  • Specify material requirements and quantity needed
  • Indicate any special finishing or treatment requirements
  • Mention your desired delivery timeline

We typically respond with detailed quotes within 24-48 hours. For urgent projects, please contact us directly by phone for immediate attention.

Quality & Standards

What quality standards do you follow?

We maintain rigorous quality control throughout our operations:

  • ISO 9001:2015 Certified: Internationally recognized quality management system
  • First Article Inspection: Complete dimensional verification before production
  • In-Process Inspection: Regular checks during manufacturing
  • Final Inspection: 100% inspection before shipment
  • CMM Verification: Coordinate measuring machine for complex geometries
  • Documentation: Full inspection reports and certificates of conformance provided

We can accommodate customer-specific quality requirements and third-party inspection if needed.

What materials can you work with?

We have extensive experience machining a wide variety of materials:

  • Metals: Aluminum alloys, stainless steel (304, 316), mild steel, brass, copper, bronze, titanium
  • Plastics: ABS, Delrin (Acetal), PEEK, Nylon, polycarbonate, PTFE (Teflon)
  • Exotic Alloys: Inconel, Hastelloy, Monel, and other specialty materials

Our team can help you select the optimal material for your application based on mechanical properties, environmental conditions, and cost considerations.

Technical Support

Do you offer design assistance?

Yes! Our experienced engineering team provides comprehensive design support:

  • Design for Manufacturability (DFM): Review and optimize designs for efficient production
  • Cost Reduction: Suggest design modifications to reduce manufacturing costs
  • Material Selection: Recommend appropriate materials for your application
  • Tolerance Analysis: Help establish realistic and cost-effective tolerances
  • CAD Support: Work with all major CAD formats (STEP, IGES, DWG, DXF, Solidworks, etc.)

This service is complimentary for active projects and helps ensure the best possible outcome for your components.

What tolerances can you achieve?

We routinely achieve precision tolerances suitable for demanding applications:

  • Standard Tolerances: ±0.005" (±0.127mm) for most operations
  • Tight Tolerances: ±0.001" (±0.025mm) with precision grinding
  • Ultra-Precision: ±0.0005" (±0.0127mm) for critical dimensions
  • Surface Finish: Ra 32 to Ra 8 or better depending on process

Tolerances depend on material, geometry, and manufacturing method. Contact us to discuss your specific requirements.
