よくある質問
Q1: What amount would be considered a small batch?
Small batch production usually involves a small quantity of a product, such as a few to several hundred pieces, with a typical volume of 5 to 500 pieces. Small batch production is most appropriately used in small batch CNC machining jobs because it prevents high cost investments in mold making but produces higher-quality pieces than 3D printing.
Q2: Which file formats do you support?
We support a variety of common file formats, and it would be ideal if you used a solid model format such as STEP or IGES, which will allow us to quickly and accurately create tool paths and quotes with less chance of miscommunication when translating dimensions.
Q3: What is the average step-by-step procedure from quotation to delivery?
The particular process is given by: You upload part drawings & requirements → Our engineers analyze the drawings & give a quotation → Your confirmation of order & payment of deposit → Our engineering & production → Final quality inspection → Shipping of product & providing tracking information.
Q4: What are some common surface finishes for aluminum components?
Some common surface finishes considered for aluminum components include anodizing (which can be in various colors such as black, silver, and red), sand blasting, chemical conversion coating, and powder coating. The above finishes can improve the corrosion resistance, appearance, and hardness of aluminum components.
Q5: What is the smallest piece or detail which can be machined?
The lowest machining scale will rely on tooling and machining accuracy. Typically, scaling down to 0.5mm will be achievable to machine holes or ribs. As for micro-machining, our engineers will then examine if micro-machining is feasible based on the part configuration.
Q6: How do you achieve a perfect surface finish where appearance is a critical parameter?
To remove surface scratches, cutting parameters can be optimized, new sharp cutter tools can be used to prevent material adhesion, special points of contact for clamping can be specified to prevent damage during clamping, and polishing can be performed in post-processing steps.
Q7: Is a quotation inclusive of all costs? Are there any hidden charges?
Our quotation takes into consideration the drawings and processing requirements you have confirmed, and this comprises processing charges, standard post-processing charges, packaging charges, and basic logistics charges. In case of special requirements or design modifications, we shall discuss with you in advance and inform you of additional charges.
Q8: How long does it take to deliver to the UK/Europe/USA? And how much will I be charged?
The cost and time involved in consigning goods to UK/Europe/USA depend upon the consignment service used. Air transport takes 3-7 working days and is charged according to the weight and size of goods consigned, with sea transport taking 4-6 weeks and being cheaper. We can advise you accordingly based on your requirement.
概要
Small batch CNC machining is far more than "small volume processing," and in fact represents a systematic engineering approach based on cost, accuracy, time to delivery, and performance considerations. In partnering with JS Precision, you not only acquire a product, but a total cost of ownership solutions provider.
