For the tighter tolerance work—say medical fixtures or aerospace jigs, we’re hitting ±0.01mm consistently, though most sit comfortably at ±0.03mm or so, which is basically what ISO 2768 M demands anyway, and that suface roughness of Ra 0.1-3.2 means we can do a mirror polish if that’s what your optical bench needs.

It’s not built for thin-walled tubing below 1mm wall thickness—we’ve had failures there in 304 stainles, so unless you’re comfortable with a bit of warpage, I’d stick to bracketry or blocks for those 150mm max milling parts, and the 2200×1800mm bed handles most things you’d throw at it.

batches we typically run for R&D accounts are 50-200 units, often with anodizing or clear plating—but your bulk order of 5000 would need about 30 days, give or take, and we usually have stock on 6061-T6 and brass, though 316L lead times can stretch if the mill’s backed up.

We’re using a mix of new and older Mazaks (so don’t expect perfect toolpath optimization for nanosurfaces), but the real thing you want is that we’ll do a DXF or STEP for free and you get a COA with each run—most buyers actually ask about thread size first, and our company can go down to M1×0.25mm, which is pretty fine.

Anyway, the packging is standard cardboard boxes with foam dividers—unless you specify plastic trays or anti-static bags—and for prototype orders, you’ll see parts in 3-7 days, though ship in about a month; we just lost one suplier on polishing for aluminum, so confirm that finish if it’s critical.
There's no strict MOQ — we take orders as low as 1 piece for prototypes. For production runs, we’ll quote based on your quantity, so just send your drawing and we’ll work it out.
Yes, we can hit ±0.01mm on stainless steel parts within our size limits. We don't include CMM reports by default, but we can add them for an extra cost — just let us know when you order.
For corrosion resistance on aluminum, anodizing is our go-to — it's tough and comes in different colors. Plating or powder coating also work, but anodizing is usually the most cost-effective option.
Prototype lead time is 3 to 7 days once we approve your STEP file. If you need it faster, we can rush it for an extra fee — just ask.
We follow ISO 2768 M as our standard quality tolerance. For medical research parts, we can include a certificate of conformance with the order, but note these are for research use only — not clinical or implantable.
