FAQ

Sheet metal questions

Typically 0.5 mm to 6 mm depending on material. Send your drawings and we will confirm feasibility for your specific part.

Yes. PEM nuts, studs, and standoffs are routinely inserted. Specify the hardware type and location on your drawing.

Yes. Powder coating in any RAL color, plus zinc, nickel, and chrome plating, anodizing, and silk screen printing are coordinated through our finishing partners.

Yes. Minimum order is 1 piece. We handle prototypes and low-volume production runs.

A flat-pattern DXF or DWG plus a STEP model or PDF drawing showing bends, hardware, and finish gives us everything we need.
