Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our custom prototype machining services for R&D, universities, and DIY projects.

We offer true 1-piece minimum orders with no MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) restrictions. This makes our service ideal for R&D testing, single prototype validation, university research projects, or DIY hobbyist creations. We also support small-batch production (10-500 units) for scaling from prototype to initial production runs.

Turnaround times depend on part complexity, material, and quantity, but we prioritize rapid delivery for R&D timelines:

Standard prototypes: 5-7 business days
Complex 5-axis machining parts: 7-10 business days
Rush orders: 2-3 business days (available for urgent projects)

We provide a detailed delivery estimate in your quote, with real-time updates throughout production.

Our precision machining capabilities ensure tight tolerances for critical applications:

Standard machining: ±0.005mm
High-precision projects: ±0.001mm
5-axis machining: ±0.002mm (for complex geometries)

Tolerances are verified with advanced measuring equipment (CMM, laser scanners) to ensure compliance with your specifications.

Yes, we specialize in machining a wide range of materials to meet diverse prototype requirements:

Metals: Aluminum (6061, 7075), Stainless Steel (304, 316), Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V), Copper, Brass, Nickel Alloys, Tool Steel

Non-Metals: Engineering plastics (PEEK, Nylon, Delrin), Composites (Carbon Fiber, Fiberglass), Acrylic, Wood, Ceramics, Foams

We also accommodate specialty materials—contact us to discuss your specific material needs.

Absolutely—our engineering team offers free DFM reviews to optimize your design for machining, reduce costs, and improve part performance. Services include:

CAD file analysis and modification (STEP, IGES, STL, OBJ)
Material selection recommendations
Geometry optimization to avoid machining challenges
Cost-reduction insights (e.g., simplifying features, reducing setup time)

We collaborate with you to refine your design without compromising functionality.

5-axis machining is ideal for prototypes with complex geometries that can’t be efficiently produced with traditional 3-axis machining, such as:

Multi-sided parts requiring machining from multiple angles
Curved surfaces, undercuts, or hollow features
Aerospace, automotive, or medical components
Parts needing minimal setup to reduce production time

Our team can advise if 5-axis machining is the best fit for your design during the quote process.

FEA (Finite Element Analysis) is a simulation tool that predicts how your prototype will perform under real-world conditions (stress, vibration, temperature, etc.). Our FEA services help:

Identify structural weaknesses before production
Optimize material usage and part thickness
Reduce the need for costly physical testing iterations
Validate that the prototype meets performance requirements

FEA is particularly valuable for R&D projects where reliability and performance are critical.

We accept all major CAD and 3D model formats, with preference for:

STEP (.step, .stp) – Most preferred for machining accuracy
IGES (.iges, .igs) – Compatible with all CAD software
STL (.stl) – For 3D models (best for simpler geometries)
Other formats: OBJ (.obj), 3DM (.3dm), SolidWorks (.sldprt)

If you have questions about file compatibility, send us your model for a free review—we can help convert or optimize files if needed.
