deliver within lead times as short as 3 business days.
Product Details
The CNC machining process predominantly employs metals as its primary materials.
These metals encompass alloy steel, carbon steel, cast iron, stainless steel, aluminum, copper,
magnesium, and zinc.
Nonetheless, this versatile process can also be applied to machine plastic components and work
with an array of other materials, including ceramics, composites, thermoplastics, and thermosets.

Company Profile
FAQ's
1. How does our pricing compare to other suppliers?
When it comes to pricing, making direct comparisons can be challenging.
However, as a general guideline, our prices for plastic injection mold tools and CNC
machined/turned parts are typically 25-45% lower than those of suppliers in North America
and Europe.
In contrast to Chinese suppliers, we prioritize delivering the utmost quality, swift response
times, and professional outcomes, rather than engaging in a price-driven competition.
2. How soon can I receive my parts?
We can produce high-quality parts in as little as two weeks if you furnish us with comprehensive
2D and 3D CAD models.
However, for more intricate parts with additional requirements or special features, the lead time
may be longer. Feel free to request a quote to obtain precise lead times tailored to your project.
In terms of shipping, the majority of our shipments are dispatched via air freight. The transit time
from China to Europe or North America typically takes a few days.
3. What tolerances can achieve?
Tolerances are not universally fixed and vary depending on the specific processes and materials
involved. The final tolerances for your part are influenced by several factors, including:
1. Part Size
2. Design Complexity
3. Number, Type, and Size of Features
4. Material(s) Used
5. Surface Finish Requirements
6. Chosen Manufacturing Process
Upon order confirmation, we conduct a Design for Manufacturing review of your design.
This review helps identify areas that may require adjustments to enhance manufacturability.
It's beneficial if you can specify which areas in your design have critical tolerances that must be
met and which can be adjusted slightly if necessary to optimize production time and cost.
Below are some general tolerance guidelines:
General tolerances for CNC machining in metal and plastic
Tolerances for plastic injection molding
Reference charts for CNC machining materials and plastic injection molding materials
General tolerance for metal 3D printing is +/- 0.5mm
A shrinkage rate of +/- 0.15% is typical for vacuum casting
To ensure precise adherence to your manufacturing and technical specifications, all requirements
should be clearly detailed in the 2D drawings.
