Early design review can often result in significant savings over the life of a product.

What is the difference between laser cutting and CNC punching?

Laser cutting uses a focused laser beam to cut material and is ideal for complex profiles, intricate geometries, and tight-tolerance features. CNC punching uses specialized tooling to create holes, forms, louvers, embosses, and other features quickly and efficiently. Depending on the part design, one process may be more economical than the other, and in some cases both processes may be used to maximize efficiency.

How quickly can a custom fabricated part be produced?

Production timelines vary depending on material availability, manufacturing complexity, quantity requirements, and current production schedules. Simple prototype components may be completed in 1-2 weeks, while larger production orders take 2-3 weeks or complex assemblies may take 4-6 weeks.
