FAQ fREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR PROTOTYPE PREPARED STAGE & PROCESS CHOOSING

No, we don’t do design, we only provide the technical support for prototyping and manufacturing services when client already have the 3D and 2D file which needs design verification or production. We can provide the suggestion and solution for the friendly machining or manufacturing drawing needs after review upon your orders.

Not able to quote according to the picture, will need to know the part size, finish detail, functional design internal and external, size of the under-cut, Radius, and holes.

 If for simple shells product, yes, we can do 3D scanning to get the file for prototyping and samples, or using vacuum casting for the products copy. This will depend on the part detail, size and parts status provide. But it will be better to get the 3D file to avoid the functional and demission different. 

For RFQ, 3D file in STEP/STP, X_T, IGS, STL, will be fine. 2D drawing will prefer the PDF with the material required, tolerance and main dimensions.

For both prototyping and production we will prefer STEP file and 2D drawing in PDF with details.

For functional prototype, if has no impact on the assembly, radius on edge, on root of rib and corners will be bigger the faster. Especially on metal parts which will require EDM to do the radius clean, cost and lead time raise. For appearance parts, split and bond if acceptable, will be faster and cheaper 

We are doing business around the world providing supports for those designers in research and development department, and for end clients the production manufacturing. We totally understand the important for their unpublished product confidential, we keep confidential for everyone so that our business can last long, and we accept all kind of NDA signed and seal.

For any inquiries, we will reply within 24 hours, if it is prototype project, quotation will be share within these 24 hours, as for low volume manufacturing will be within 1-2 days, and Injection molding inquiry, will be within 1-3 days unless otherwise urgent need.

For prototype parts, if without post-finish can finish around 10 days, and if with post-finish will need around 14 days. 

For rapid tooling, mold time around 25 days and production time7-10 days.

It is the working days 6 days a week excluding Sunday for prototyping, and it is the calendar day for injection molding. For all shipping date will avoid Sundays as Sunday has no shipping express working.
