CNC & Molding Quotation in 24–48 Hours with Transparent Pricing

For most RFQs with complete data, we return a quotation within 24–48 hours. If drawings are incomplete or involve multiple subcontract steps (for example anodizing for 5-axis CNC parts or texture for injection molding ), we will send clarification questions and a new ETA.

The fastest and most accurate combination is a 3D STEP or IGES file + a PDF drawing. The 3D model defines the geometry and machining strategy, while the PDF drawing lists tolerances, surface finishes and any notes that affect price.

Our quotation is built from materials + machine time + tooling + secondary processes + quality documentation. Once scope is agreed and there are no drawing changes, we do not “price creep”. For plastic tooling projects we will compare rapid tooling versus full export mold production to find the best fit.

Tighter tolerances require slower cutting parameters, more re-clamping and additional inspection. They also increase scrap risk. On features such as bores, shafts and sealing faces, even a small change from ±0.01 mm to a standard fit can significantly reduce machining time and cost.

For standard CNC machining, our typical capability is ±0.01 mm. On critical features (for example in complex 5-axis parts or Swiss-turned shafts ), tighter limits such as ±0.002 mm may be validated case by case, supported by CMM and process capability (CPK) reports.

We can supply material and heat-treat certificates, RoHS/REACH declarations, CMM reports, and customer-specific documentation such as PPAP, FAI/AS9102 where required. Export molds follow standard export mold documentation.

Yes. You can upload your own NDA or use our template. For early design validation, we often combine NDA protection with 3D printing or plastic models so you can test form and fit without disclosing full production data.

Yes. We recommend a pilot run before full mass production. Depending on project needs, we may bridge the gap with vacuum casting , rapid tooling , sand casting or laser cutting so you can validate design and market response.

Unless otherwise stated, our quotations are typically valid for 30 days. For projects with volatile material prices or special alloys, we may specify a shorter validity or update the quote based on the latest material rates.

Absolutely. Our engineers can review your design and propose alternatives: relaxing non-critical tolerances, changing wall thickness, choosing a more common alloy, or switching between 5-axis CNC machining , Swiss turning and injection molding when volumes justify it.

Consider batching quantities on complex 5-axis parts , relaxing cosmetic finishes, and using 3D printed prototypes to validate design before cutting hard tooling. We can highlight which dimensions and features drive the most cost in your quotation.

Yes. Please state the required material grade, specification and approved vendors in your RFQ. For plastic tooling and injection molding , we can follow your resin brands, color codes and texture standards according to your AVL.
