Surface treatment capabilities of products

Nine different surface treatments available for customers to choose from.

Post-processing,Anodizing,Polishing

Recommended to choose post-processing, which is an economical and efficient option. However, if a higher surface finish is required, an alternative treatment should be selected.

Sandblasting,Brushed Finish,Powder Coating

Powder coating enhances wear resistance, brushed finish adds gloss, and sandblasting provides a matte effect.

Electroplating,Black Oxidation,Electropolishing

Electroplating effectively improves surface conductivity, black oxidation reduces surface gloss, and electropolishing removes tiny imperfections from the metal surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our CNC turning services.

What file formats do you accept for sheet metal designs?
We accept all common CAD formats including STEP, IGES, SolidWorks, AutoCAD DXF/DWG, and PDF. For best results, we recommend providing 3D models with detailed drawings including material specifications, tolerances, and bend information.
What is the minimum order quantity for sheet metal parts?
We accommodate projects of all sizes. For prototypes, we can produce as few as 1-5 pieces. For production runs, our minimum order quantity is typically 50 pieces, but we can discuss smaller quantities for specialized projects.
What tolerances can you achieve in sheet metal fabrication?
Standard tolerance for sheet metal parts is ±0.005" for linear dimensions. For hole diameters and positions, we can achieve ±0.003" with CNC machining. Bend angles are typically held to ±0.5°. Tighter tolerances are available for critical features.
How long does it take to get sheet metal parts manufactured?
Lead times vary based on complexity and quantity. For prototypes, we typically deliver in 5-10 business days. Production quantities of 100-500 pieces generally ship in 2-3 weeks. We offer expedited services for urgent projects.
Do you provide design for manufacturability (DFM) feedback?
Yes, our engineering team provides complimentary DFM analysis for all projects. We'll review your design and suggest modifications to optimize for manufacturability, reduce costs, and improve quality without compromising functionality.
What quality certifications do you maintain?
We are ISO 9001:2015 certified and ITAR registered. Our quality management system includes in-process inspections, first article reports (FAI), and material certifications. We provide full documentation packages including CMM reports and certificates of conformity.
