Frequently Asked Questions
Q: DO YOU MANUFACTURE SMALL QUANTITIES OF SPRINGS AND METAL FORMS, OR DO YOU ONLY MANUFACTURE LARGE RUNS?
A: We manufacture short runs, large runs, and custom metal form and spring prototypes. We can work with you to determine the best and most cost effective manufacturing solution for your part.
Q: WHAT IS TYPICAL LEAD TIME FOR SPRING, WIRE FORM OR METAL STAMPING SAMPLES?
A: This varies depending on geometry of the part and the manufacturing processes required. Compression springs, extension springs and torsion springs average approximately 5 – 7 days turnaround time, while more complex shaped steel springs or stampings can require 2 - 3 weeks. Secondary/finishing operations, such as plating and heating treating may require additional time. Expedited options are available, so please contact us to discuss your order.
