Our standard lead time is 2–4 weeks (covers programming, fixture setup, and production). Urgent projects can be expedited to 1–2 weeks—let us know your timeline

It refers to using CNC tools to process plastic materials (e.g., PS, PU, PEEK) into custom parts—adjusting cutting speed and tools to account for plastic’s softer texture (avoiding overheating or deformation) while ensuring precision and smooth surfaces.
Start by focusing on your project’s key needs: think about how the part will be used and what tolerance levels you require. Match those needs with materials—aluminum works great for lightweight parts, while tool steel handles wear well. Our team can also help pair the perfect material with your exact specs.
Yes. Softer materials (e.g., aluminum, magnesium) cut faster; harder materials (e.g., tool steel, Inconel) need slower machining. We’ll share time estimates per material.
Absolutely. We supply materials that meet relevant industry standards to fit professional sector requirements.
Yes—common options include anodizing (aluminum), galvanizing (steel), powder coating (zinc), and polishing (brass) to boost corrosion resistance, durability, or aesthetics.
Yes. We support small-batch orders and can source specialized materials (e.g., custom-alloy steel, high-performance plastics like PEEK) with minimal lead time.
