Frequently Asked Questions

What aluminum grades do you work with?

We work with all common aluminum alloys including 6061, 7075, 5052, 2024, 3003, and specialty grades like QC-10. Our engineering team can help you select the optimal alloy for your specific application requirements.

What are your typical lead times for aluminum parts?

Standard lead time for aluminum parts is 10-15 business days from approved design to shipping. We also offer expedited services with turnaround times as quick as 3-5 days for urgent projects, depending on complexity and quantity.

What is the largest aluminum part you can machine?

Our CNC machining centers can accommodate aluminum parts up to 1000mm × 500mm × 500mm. For larger components, we can design them as assemblies of multiple parts that can be joined together.

Do you offer small batch or prototype services?

Yes, we specialize in both prototyping and production runs. We can produce as few as 1-10 parts for prototyping and testing, with seamless transition to higher volumes when you're ready for production.

What tolerance levels can you maintain for aluminum parts?

Our standard tolerance for aluminum machining is ±0.05mm. For critical features, we can maintain tolerances as tight as ±0.025mm with our high-precision equipment and rigorous quality control processes.

What file formats do you accept for aluminum part designs?

We accept all standard CAD formats including STEP, IGES, X_T (Parasolid), SolidWorks, and more. We prefer 3D models but can also work from 2D drawings with complete specifications.
