Precision Metal Parts Turned Around Rapidly

An engineering firm has set up shop here to provide design engineers with prototypes of micro-engineered metal parts within five days. The parts-typically manufactured using electro-forming or chemical etching processes-are produced with extremely tight tolerances for semiconductor lead frames, hybrid lids, fine-tolerance gaskets, and other precision parts for a wide range of applications. The company operates an in-house plating facility. And in addition to rapid delivery of low-volume parts, the service also offers free access to the company’s engineering expertise. Multiple design options can often be delivered within the set time frame and modifications can be quickly implemented using the company’s CAD system.
