Top 10 FAQs of Our CNC Machining Services
What types of materials can be used for CNC machining?
CNC machining can be used for a wide range of materials, including metals (aluminum, steel, brass, titanium, etc.), plastics (acrylic, nylon, polycarbonate, etc.), and even some composites.
What file formats do you accept for CNC machining?
We accept a variety of file formats, including .STL, . STEP, . IGES, . DXF, and .DWG. However, we recommend that you contact us to confirm if we can work with your specific file format.
What is the maximum size of parts that you can machine?
What is the typical turnaround time for CNC machining projects?
The turnaround time for CNC machining projects depends on the complexity and quantity of parts. However, we strive to complete most projects within 3-14 days.
Can you produce prototypes using CNC machining?
Yes, CNC machining is an ideal process for producing prototypes as it allows for high precision and accuracy.
Do you offer finishing services for CNC machined parts?
Yes, we offer a range of finishing services for CNC machined parts, including anodizing, powder coating, and plating.
Can you work with custom designs or do you have standard designs available?
We can work with custom designs provided by customers or create custom designs for their specific needs. We also have standard designs available for certain parts.
What is the maximum tolerance that can be achieved with CNC machining?
The maximum tolerance that can be achieved with CNC machining is typically +/- 0.005 inches.
Do you have a minimum order quantity for CNC machining projects?
No, we do not have a minimum order quantity for CNC machining projects. We can produce small prototype runs as well as large production runs.
What is the cost of CNC machining services?
The cost of CNC machining services varies depending on the complexity of the part, the quantity of parts needed, and the material used. We provide quotes based on each individual project.
Top 10 FAQs of Our Sheet Metal Services
What materials can be used for sheet metal fabrication?
Sheet metal fabrication can be performed on various materials including steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, and titanium, among others.
What thicknesses of sheet metal can be used for fabrication?
What is the maximum size of the sheet metal that can be fabricated?
What type of finish can be provided to the sheet metal parts?
What is the maximum thickness of sheet metal that can be cut with a laser?
The maximum thickness of sheet metal that can be cut with a laser depends on the power of the laser and the type of material. Generally, sheet metal up to 0.75 inches thick can be cut with a laser.
What are the common techniques used in sheet metal fabrication?
What is the typical lead time for sheet metal fabrication projects?
The lead time for sheet metal fabrication projects depends on the complexity of the design, the quantity of parts required, and the availability of the materials. Generally, the lead time ranges from a few days to several weeks.
Can sheet metal be fabricated into complex shapes and forms?
Yes, sheet metal can be fabricated into complex shapes and forms using various techniques such as bending, stamping, cutting, and welding.
Can sheet metal parts be fabricated with tight tolerances?
Yes, sheet metal parts can be fabricated with tight tolerances using precision machinery and skilled operators.
Can sheet metal fabrication be used for both prototyping and production runs?
Yes, sheet metal fabrication can be used for both prototyping and production runs. Prototyping allows for testing and fine-tuning of the design before full production runs, which can save time and money in the long run.
Top 10 FAQs of Our Injection Molding Services
What materials can be used for injection molding?
What is the typical lead time for injection molding production?
What is the maximum size of parts that can be injection molded?
What is the minimum order quantity for injection molding production?
What is the typical cost of injection molding production?
The cost of injection molding production depends on several factors including the material being used, the size and complexity of the parts, and the quantity of parts needed. Typically, costs can range from a few dollars per part to several hundred dollars per part.
What is the typical tolerance for injection molded parts?
The typical tolerance for injection molded parts is generally +/- 0.005 inches. However, tighter tolerances can be achieved with specialized tooling and manufacturing techniques.
Can injection molding produce parts with varying wall thicknesses?
Yes, injection molding can produce parts with varying wall thicknesses. However, care must be taken to ensure that the parts cool evenly to prevent warping or other defects.
Can injection molding be used for prototyping?
Yes, injection molding can be used for prototyping. However, the cost and lead time for tooling and production may be prohibitive for small-scale prototyping.
Can injection molding produce parts with multiple colors or textures?
Yes, injection molding can produce parts with multiple colors or textures by using specialized tooling and processes.
