What we do

One partner for the whole development arc.

Choose by stage and quantity — we machine, print, cast and tool in-house, so a design moves from validation to volume without leaving the building.

What clients say

Trusted from prototype to launch.

“They approached our robotics prototype like a true manufacturing partner from the first design review. The critical shaft-and-bore interfaces on the bipedal leg assembly were CMM-verified to ±0.001 inch fit tolerance on the first article.”

— R&D Lead, Robotics Research Lab, U.S.

“JierChen helped us complete clear PC parts, dyeing, surface finishing, and assembly for our AI wearable prototype in two weeks. Having one prototype manufacturing partner reduced hand-offs, saved time, and kept the design validation process moving.”

— Product Manager, AI Wearables Startup

“For our precision machined components, we received engineer-reviewed quotations, clear manufacturability feedback, and inspection documentation for critical dimensions. When CMM reports are required, they provide the data our sourcing and QA teams need.”

FAQ

Your questions, answered.

What product teams ask us most — about quoting, tolerances, lead times, materials and getting from a single prototype to volume.

How fast can I get a quote?

For qualified projects with complete CAD files and 2D drawings, we return an engineer-reviewed quotation as fast as 24 hours. Complex geometries, multi-process assemblies, tight tolerances or special finishing may need a short DFM (design-for-manufacturing) review before we can quote.

What are your typical lead times?

Lead time depends on the manufacturing process, quantity, part complexity, material availability, and finishing requirements. As a general reference, our shortest possible lead times are: SLA 3D printing from 1–3 days, CNC machining from 3–7 days, silicone vacuum casting from 5–10 days, and steel-mold injection from 4–8 weeks including tooling.

Actual delivery time may vary depending on the project scope and number of parts. We will confirm a firm delivery date with every quotation.

What tolerances can you hold?

Unless otherwise specified on the 2D drawing, our general machining tolerances follow ISO 2768-f for CNC-machined parts. If your project has tighter tolerance requirements, critical dimensions, fits, or functional features, please share your 2D drawings with us. Our engineers will review the geometry, material, process, quantity, and inspection method to confirm whether the required tolerances are achievable.

As a reference, CNC machining can achieve local best-case tolerances down to ±0.01 mm under suitable conditions. However, this represents localized achievable precision, not the tolerance for every dimension on every part. SLA 3D-printed parts typically require looser tolerances depending on material, geometry, orientation, support removal, and post-processing.

Critical dimensions can be verified by CMM or other suitable inspection equipment, and dimensional inspection reports can be provided upon request.

General Linear Tolerances — ISO 2768-f Reference

Nominal Dimension RangeISO 2768-f Tolerance
0.5 mm to 3 mm±0.05 mm
Over 3 mm to 6 mm±0.05 mm
Over 6 mm to 30 mm±0.10 mm
Over 30 mm to 120 mm±0.15 mm
Over 120 mm to 400 mm±0.20 mm
Over 400 mm to 1,000 mm±0.30 mm
Over 1,000 mm to 2,000 mm±0.50 mm

For dimensions tighter than ISO 2768-f, please mark them clearly on your 2D drawing for engineering review.

Is there a minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

No MOQ for prototypes — we start from a single piece. Typical ranges by process are SLA 1–10 pcs, CNC 1–100 pcs, silicone casting 10–100 pcs, and steel-mold injection 500 pcs and up for volume production.

What materials and finishes do you offer?

We work with a wide range of engineering metals, plastics, and prototyping materials for functional prototypes, appearance models, and low-volume production.

Common metals include aluminum alloys such as AL6061, AL6063, AL6082, stainless steel such as SUS304 and SUS316, carbon steel, alloy steel, brass, copper, and zinc alloy. Common plastics include ABS, PC, PC+ABS, POM, PMMA/acrylic, nylon/PA, PP, PE, PPS, PTFE, PU, and other engineering plastics depending on project requirements.

For 3D printing and casting projects, we also support SLA resin parts, SLS nylon parts, silicone parts, and PU vacuum-cast parts for prototype validation and small-batch applications.

Available finishing options include anodizing, painting, clear coating, silk-screen printing, laser marking, brushing, polishing, sanding, sandblasting, texturing, plating, vacuum metallizing, and assembly-related post-processing. Color matching can be reviewed based on Pantone, RAL, or customer-provided samples.

Material and finishing availability may vary depending on geometry, tolerance requirements, quantity, lead time, and application. Share your 3D CAD file, 2D drawing, target appearance, mechanical requirements, or end-use environment, and our engineers will recommend the most suitable material and finishing process.

Can you take my prototype all the way to volume production?

Yes. We machine, print, cast and tool under one roof, so a design moves from SLA/CNC validation to silicone-casting pilots and finally steel-mold injection for scale — with no vendor hand-offs and no lost time.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes. We’re ISO 9001 certified and D-U-N-S® registered, and we serve product teams in 10+ countries including the United States, Switzerland, Sweden, Japan and Australia, with export-ready documentation.

How do you protect my design and IP?

Your files and designs stay confidential and remain your property. We’re glad to sign an NDA before reviewing your CAD, and quotations, drawings and inspection data are shared only with your team.
