CNC Machining

Material and design considerations

Specify the material grade, critical dimensions, threads and surface requirements. Tool access, internal corners and thin features can affect the machining approach. Tolerances, available materials and any finishing work are confirmed after a drawing review; the workshop photograph is not a specification for your part.

What to include in your quote request

Send STEP or STP files and a dimensioned 2D drawing, material grade, quantity, finish and delivery country. Identify critical dimensions and the inspection records you need. If the material is undecided, describe the part's intended use.

Send your files to ray@hy3dprint.com and include your destination country. Production timing and shipping are confirmed with your quotation.

Ordering from the US or Europe

Parts are manufactured in Dongguan, China, not at a local US or European facility. Send your delivery country and postal code with the CAD revision, quantity and target arrival date. Identify drawing units explicitly: millimeters or inches.

Request a quotation that separates parts, finishing, tooling where applicable, and freight. Confirm who handles import clearance and any duties or taxes before ordering. Production time and transit time are separate; neither is guaranteed before review.

Agree on the sample before the batch

Mark critical dimensions, mating surfaces and cosmetic requirements on a drawing. Ask us to confirm the available material documentation, inspection records and sample approval method before production. Tell us about any confidentiality agreement before sending sensitive design files.

For regulated or safety-critical applications, identify the required certifications and tests first. A workshop photo or sample image is not evidence of certification or suitability for that application.
