FAQ

  • 1. What tolerance can you achieve for automotive parts?

    We typically achieve tolerances up to ±0.01 mm depending on part geometry, material, and manufacturing process. For critical components, tighter tolerances can be evaluated based on drawings and technical requirements.


  • 12. CNC machining vs 3D printing for medical parts – which is better?

    Both CNC machining and 3D printing are widely used in medical manufacturing, and the best choice depends on your project requirements.

    • CNC Machining:
      • High precision (up to ±0.01 mm)
      • Excellent surface finish
      • Suitable for functional and end-use parts
    • 3D Printing:
      • Faster for prototyping
      • Ideal for complex geometries and internal structures
      • Lower cost for early-stage design validation

    In general:

    • Choose CNC machining for precision, strength, and final parts
    • Choose 3D printing for speed, complexity, and prototyping

    Not sure which process is right? Upload your design and we’ll recommend the best manufacturing solution.

  • 11. What is the best material for medical device components?

    The best material depends on your specific application requirements, including strength, biocompatibility, weight, and sterilization conditions.

    • Stainless Steel (316L): Ideal for surgical instruments and components requiring high strength and corrosion resistance
    • Titanium (Grade 5): Best for implants due to excellent biocompatibility and strength-to-weight ratio
    • PEEK: Suitable for lightweight, non-metallic medical components with good chemical resistance
    • PTFE: Used for low-friction and chemically resistant applications

    Choosing the right material requires balancing performance, environment, and manufacturing feasibility.

  • 10. How do I get started with my project?

    Simply upload your CAD file or send us your project requirements. Our team will review your design and provide a quotation along with manufacturing recommendations.


  • 9. What industries within medical do you support?

    We support a wide range of medical-related applications, including surgical instruments, medical device components, implants, and precision equipment parts.


  • 8. Can you help optimize my design for manufacturing?

    Yes, our engineering team provides design for manufacturability (DFM) feedback to help optimize your design, reduce risks, and improve production efficiency.


  • 7. How do you ensure part cleanliness for medical applications?

    We apply controlled finishing processes and clean handling procedures to minimize contamination risks. Surface treatments such as electropolishing and passivation also help improve cleanliness and corrosion resistance.


  • 6. Do you provide inspection reports and quality documentation?

    Yes, we can provide full dimensional inspection reports, CMM measurement data, and material certificates upon request to support quality verification and compliance needs.


  • 5. How fast can you deliver medical components?

    Lead time can be as fast as 3–7 days for prototyping, depending on part complexity and process requirements. We prioritize fast turnaround while maintaining high precision and quality.


  • 4. Can you handle small batch or prototype production?

    Yes, we specialize in both rapid prototyping and low- to mid-volume production. We support flexible quantities starting from 1 piece, making it ideal for product development and testing stages.


  • 3. Do you support medical-grade materials?

    Yes, we support a variety of medical-grade materials such as stainless steel (316L), titanium (Grade 5), PEEK, PTFE, and other engineering plastics suitable for medical environments.


  • 2. What surface finishes are available for medical parts?

    We offer a range of surface finishing options including electropolishing, passivation, anodizing, polishing, sandblasting, and laser marking. These processes help improve corrosion resistance, surface smoothness, and cleanliness for medical applications.


  • 1. What tolerances can you achieve for medical components?

    We can achieve tight tolerances up to ±0.01 mm depending on part geometry, material, and manufacturing process. For high-precision medical components, we ensure strict dimensional control through advanced CNC machining and inspection systems.
