CertificationsAS9100 • ISO 9001 • ITAR
Best-fit partsSmall, complex geometries; multi-feature components that benefit from part consolidation
Part size / massRoughly 0.1–150 g sintered mass typical; envelopes to ~75 mm per side (broader on review)
Walls & featuresThin walls ~0.3–1.0 mm typical • Fine details, lettering, undercuts formed in-tool
Tolerances / finishAs-molded ~±0.3–0.5% of nominal; selective post-machining for critical fits • Surface finish ~Ra 16–32 µin typical
Materials316L, 17-4PH, 420/440C, low-alloy steels; Fe-Ni/Fe-Si soft magnetic; Kovar®/F-15; Co-Cr; Cu-base
Volumes / MOQsPrototype (on review) → tens-of-thousands to multi-million per year; strongest value at higher annual volumes
Lead timesNPI/tooling ~8–14 weeks typical • Production 4–8 weeks (depends on finishes/material)
Secondary opsHeat treat • Sizing/machining • Grinding/polish • Passivation/electropolish • Coatings • Laser marking • Assembly
QA / DocumentationLot traceability • Inspection to print • FAI/PPAP as required • C of C
MarketsMedical instruments & devices • Aerospace/Defense hardware • Industrial & consumer precision components

A great fit for

  • Complex, small metal parts that benefit from consolidating multiple pieces
  • High annual volumes needing stable, repeatable output
  • Programs requiring cosmetic detail and fine features without heavy machining
×

Not a fit for…

  • Very large / heavy parts or long prismatic shapes
  • Ultra-low volumes where new tooling cost can’t amortize
  • Commodity hardware or simple turned parts better suited to bar-stock machining
