01 · How it works

Four steps from CAD to delivery.

Upload CAD

Drag-and-drop STEP file on quote form. Include material, finish, quantity, and any drawings. NDA signed on request before file review.

Receive quote

Engineers review for manufacturability within 4 hours (business hours). Written quote with DFM feedback, pricing by quantity breakpoint, and lead time.

PO & production

Confirm quote with PO or online payment. Material ordered, CAM programmed, production scheduled. Status updates at key milestones.

QC & ship

First-article inspection, final QC, packaging. DHL Priority to 50+ countries. Tracking number and invoice provided. Typical transit 3–5 days USA/EU.

02 · Lead times

Actual timelines by process.

Honest numbers from our shop floor. Lead times start from PO confirmation and include QC. Rush service available at 1.5–2× cost for critical deadlines.

FAQ

On-demand manufacturing questions.

Quote response: average 4 hours during business hours, under 24 hours for complex RFQs. First-article production lead times: CNC 3–7 days, 3D printing 2–5 days, sheet metal 5–10 days, injection molding prototypes 14–21 days. Rush service available at 1.5–2× standard cost for same-day quote + next-day production start on simple parts.

For 80% of parts, 3D CAD (STEP file preferred) is enough — we extract dimensions directly from the model. For parts with critical tolerances, surface finish callouts, GD&T requirements, or special materials: provide a 2D drawing (PDF) with the 3D model. Our engineers can generate a drawing from CAD if needed, but direct drawings eliminate ambiguity.

Preferred: STEP (.step, .stp) — universal format. Also accepted: IGES (.igs), Parasolid (.x_t, .x_b), SolidWorks (.sldprt), Pro/Engineer / Creo (.prt), Autodesk Inventor (.ipt), Fusion 360 (.f3d), Catia (.CATPart). For 2D drawings: PDF is standard, DWG and DXF also accepted.

Yes — quote-for-quantities is standard. Typical quote includes 3 breakpoints (e.g., 10 / 100 / 1,000 parts) to show volume discounts. This helps you select the right quantity when cost is tight. Let us know your target quantity range in your RFQ and we'll price accordingly.

Three options: (1) Quote form on /quote.php — drag-and-drop file upload, most common method. (2) Email directly to [email protected] with files attached. (3) Large files (>100 MB) or sensitive files — request a secure upload link (SFTP or OneDrive) and we'll send a private transfer link. NDAs signed before receipt on sensitive files.

50+ countries regularly. Primary markets: USA, Canada, Mexico, Germany, UK, France, Italy, Japan, Korea, Australia, Israel. DHL Priority Express standard (3–5 business days to USA). For non-urgent shipments, FedEx Economy or sea freight available for cost reduction. EU customs cleared through our EU-registered freight partner.
