Capabilities
The whole shop floor, with numbers attached.
If your part does not fit one of these envelopes, we would rather you found that out here than after a week of email.

Before you send a print
- CAD formats accepted
- STEP, IGES, Parasolid, SolidWorks, and 2D PDF with dimensions
- Minimum order
- One piece. Prototypes are normal work here, not a favour
- Quote turnaround
- Two business days for most parts, same day for repeats
- Typical lead time
- 10 – 15 business days for a first article, 5 – 10 for repeats
- Material certification
- Available on request; state it on the RFQ so we buy to certificate
- Inspection report
- First-article dimensional report included on every new part number
What a dimensioned print tells us
A solid model plus a print with tolerances called out where they matter is the fastest route to an accurate quote. If everything on the drawing carries the same tight tolerance, we will ask which features actually need it — loosening one dimension often takes real money off the price.
