Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the typical lead time for CNC machined castings?
A: Lead time depends on complexity and quantity. Standard MOQ (100pcs) takes about 25–35 days from tooling approval. Small prototype runs can be expedited to 15–20 days.
Q2: Can you provide samples before mass production?
A: Yes, we offer sample machining after tooling is prepared. Sample cost is deducted from the first mass production order. Shipping cost is borne by the client.
Q3: What surface treatments are available for A356 castings?
A: Common options include anodizing (clear, black, colored), powder coating, chrome plating, zinc plating, and as-cast with mechanical polishing. Specific requirements can be discussed.
Q4: How do you ensure dimensional accuracy for complex automotive parts?
A: We use in-process inspection with CMM, optical comparators, and custom gauges. Final inspection reports (including dimensional and material certificates) are provided with each shipment.
Q5: What file formats do you accept for custom designs?
A: We accept STEP, IGES, SLDPRT, DWG, DXF, and PDF. A 3D model is preferred for best accuracy. Free design for manufacturability (DFM) review is included.
Q6: Is your A356 material traceable?
A: Yes. All incoming raw material batches are tested with a spectrometer and assigned a lot number. Material test reports can be provided upon request.
Q7: Do you support PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) for automotive clients?
A: Absolutely. We are experienced with PPAP Level 3 submissions and can provide all required documentation including control plans, FMEA, and measurement system analysis (MSA).
Q8: What is your minimum order quantity for a new product?
A: Typically 100 pieces for the initial order, but we can negotiate for lower quantities (e.g., 50 pcs) for pilot projects. Higher volume orders receive better pricing.
