Q9: What is your usual lead time for molds and parts?

A9: 

1. For Custom Molds:

  Our standard lead time for mold manufacturing typically ranges between 15-25 working days, depending on complexity, size, and material requirements. High-precision or multi-cavity molds may require additional time for quality assurance. Expedited options (30-50% faster) are available for urgent projects, subject to a feasibility assessment.  

2. For Production Parts:

  * Injection-molded parts: 10-15 working days after mold approval (volume-dependent)  

  * CNC machined parts: 5-10 working days (standard), with 3-5 day rush services  

  * 3D printed prototypes: As fast as 24-72 hours for most technologies

3. Key Factors Affecting Lead Time: 

  * Design Complexity: DFM approval may adjust timelines  

  * Material Availability: Specialty alloys/additives may require procurement  

  * Post-processing: Surface treatments (e.g., plating, painting) add 3-7 days  

  * Order Volume: Bulk production scales with quantity (e.g., 50k+ units)  

4. Pro Tip: Share your project specifications (CAD files, material, quantity, and target dates) for a customized timeline with potential optimization options. We consistently achieve 98% on-time delivery** through advanced production scheduling.
