Approved Sheet Metal FAQ
We typically quote prototype sheet-metal parts within hours and can deliver finished parts in as little as 2–5 days, depending on material, part complexity, and quantity. For rush flat parts, we offer same-day shipping when ordered by 10 a.m. EST. Standard lead time for formed parts with hardware is 5-10 days.
We accept a wide range of CAD formats including DXF, STEP, IGES, SLDPRT (SolidWorks) and PDF for drawings. Upload your native file or flattened part and our DFM team will review it for manufacturability and quote accordingly.
If you’re working with low volumes, evolving designs or multiple iterations, our prototype sheet-metal option is ideal—flexible tooling, fast lead times, low minimums. For higher volumes (hundreds or thousands of units) with stable designs, full production via tooling or stamping may be more efficient. We’ll help you assess which route suits your budget and schedule.
We offer a full suite of finishing options—from mill finish to Class A cosmetic finish—and we typically hold tolerances of ±0.005″–±0.010″ on laser-cut profiles and ±0.010″ flatness on composite parts. If tighter tolerances are required, we’ll evaluate during quoting. We’ll also guide you on finish class (A, B, or C) based on end use.
We use a secure quoting platform and custom ERP system with real-time material inventory and job scheduling. Once the quote is accepted, your job is immediately released to the shopfloor with in-house laser cutting, forming, finishing and inspection—all under one roof. Communication is direct, and you receive status updates throughout the process.
