Frequently Asked Questions

F: I have an idea for a new product, but I don’t know if it can be manufactured. can you help ?

A:Yes! We are always happy to work with potential customers to evaluate the technical feasibility of

your idea or design and we can advise on materials, tooling and likely set-up costs.


F: What are the advantages to have my parts manufactured locally?

A:we offer quick reaction times to any changes in specification, batch size or material. We can ship

small or large quantities anywhere in North America,   Europe overnight to   accommodate unforeseen changes in demand.


F: My components have already been developed on CAD. Can you use the drawings?

A: Yes! DWG, DXF, IGES, Solid works and STEP, X_T   STL  IGS Ect . the files can all be used to generate quotes models and mould tools-this can save time and money in producing your parts.


F: Can I test my idea/component before committing to mould tool manufacture?

A:Yes, we can use CAD drawings to make Prototype models for design and functional evaluations or market  test.


F: What type of plastic is best for my design/component?

A: Materials selection depends on the application of your design and the environment in which it   will  function. We will be happy to discuss the alternatives and suggest the best material.


F: What type of mould tool do I need?and can you offer rapid sample to testing beefore with mold ?

A:Mould tools can be either single cavity (one part at a time) or multi-cavity  2/4/8 or 16parts at a tine   Single cavity tools are generally  up to 10,000 parts per year whereas multi-used for small quantities,cavity tools are for larger quantities. We can look at your projected annual requirements and recommend the best tooling options  for you .

Surface TreatmentTreatment Description
StandardThe 3D printed parts are sandblasted to remove the remaining powder. The surface finish is similar to the grain/crystal structure of sugar cubes.
SandblastA surface smoothing operation relates to the orientation of fine boscallops on the surface of a part under high pressure. Sandblasting creates a smooth, even surface finish on the part.
Transparent coatingClear coating is a popular beauty procedure used to create a clear beauty appearance in 3D printed parts.
PaintingAfter grinding and polishing to make the surface smooth, the 3D printed parts can be covered with automotive quality paint and sprayed in any color.
PolishingUsed to create high quality surface finish in 3D printed parts. Before polishing, the parts should be polished and smoothed to ensure that the final surface appearance and cost meet expectations
TextureTexture helps enhance ergonomics, cosmetics and weather resistance. It uses thousands to give 3D printed parts a better grip, reduce their slip, and mimic certain textures
Custom Surface Treatment(Mores)Depending on the material and use of the end-use pieces, you can also offer a range of custom finishes for your pieces.
