Our quality control processes include first article inspection, in-process monitoring, final inspection with CMM verification, material certification tracking, and comprehensive documentation for full traceability.

We specialize in tight-tolerance machining to meet the most demanding specifications:

• Standard Tolerances: ±0.005" (±0.127mm) for general machining
• Precision Tolerances: ±0.001" (±0.025mm) for most components
• Ultra-Precision: ±0.0001" (±0.0025mm) for critical features
• Surface Finish: Down to 8 Ra microinch or better

Our CMM inspection equipment verifies all critical dimensions, and we provide detailed inspection reports with each shipment.

Lead times vary based on project complexity, material availability, and current workload:

• Quote Response: 24-48 hours for standard projects
• Prototype Parts: 5-10 business days typical turnaround
• Production Runs: 2-6 weeks depending on quantity and complexity
• Rush Services: Available for urgent projects with expedited processing

We provide detailed scheduling information with each quote and maintain regular communication throughout the manufacturing process to ensure on-time delivery.

To provide an accurate and timely quote, please supply the following information:

• Technical Drawings: CAD files (STEP, IGES, Solidworks) or detailed 2D drawings with dimensions
• Material Specification: Preferred material grade and any special requirements
• Quantity: Prototype quantity and anticipated production volumes
• Tolerances: Critical dimensions and required tolerances
• Surface Finish: Any specific finish requirements
• Timeline: Required delivery date or scheduling constraints

The more complete information you provide, the faster and more accurate our quote will be. We're also happy to review specifications and suggest optimization opportunities.

We work with projects of various sizes to accommodate different needs:

• Prototypes: No minimum - we accept single piece orders
• Production Runs: Flexible minimums based on part complexity
• Volume Pricing: Discounts available for larger quantities
• Repeat Orders: Special pricing for ongoing production requirements

Whether you need a single prototype or thousands of production parts, we can structure a solution that meets your needs and budget.
