Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about our custom machine components or how our design-to-manufacture process works? Here are some of the most common questions we get,  and the answers to help you move forward with confidence.

What materials can be used for custom machine components?

We manufacture custom machine components from a wide range of materials, including hot-cast polyurethanes, various rubber compounds, metals like stainless steel, and engineering plastics. Each material offers different performance characteristics suited to specific applications. Our technical team can help you select the optimal material based on your operating conditions and performance requirements.

To provide an accurate quote, we typically need technical drawings or specifications, material requirements, quantity needed, and application details. If you have an existing component, we can also work from a sample. The more information you can provide about the operating environment and performance requirements, the better our experienced engineers can tailor a solution.

Lead times vary depending on complexity, material choice, and quantity required. Simple components might be produced in 1-2 weeks, while more complex parts may take 3-4 weeks. For urgent requirements, we offer expedited manufacturing options where possible. We’ll provide a specific timeline during the quotation process.

Yes, our manufacturing capabilities allow us to produce components ranging from small 10-gram parts to large components weighing up to 250kg for polyurethane and 25kg for rubber components. We have the equipment and expertise to handle both small precision parts and large industrial components.

Absolutely. We recommend prototype development for new designs to validate performance and fit before committing to full production. Our prototyping service allows you to test and refine your component design, ensuring the final parts meet all your requirements before product launches.
