Common Questions
Our manufacturing services include multi-axis CNC milling and turning, toolmaking, plastic injection molding, micro molding, polyurethane vacuum casting, sheet metal fabrication and painting. Our partners also provide anodizing, metal plating, laser etching, waterjet cutting and more.
For CNC milling and turning, we comply with DIN / ISO 2768-medium and fine for most jobs, but we can achieve higher tolerances upon request. We also follow the standard guidelines of the Plastics Industry Association for toolmaking and injection molding. More detailed tolerance information can be found here.
Prototypes prioritize speed and economy. To achieve this, they may feature looser tolerances and employ less robust material that’s easier to fabricate. Production parts must achieve higher tolerances consistently, with better fit and finish. This requires longer development lead times with more careful design and engineering input
All incoming raw materials are carefully tested and verified before going into production. We also perform in-process inspection at every step, as well as a thorough final inspection backed up with complete test reports and certificates of compliance. We are proud to be compliant with ISO 13485 and 9001 standards and we also have prefered AEO customs clearance certification.
