FAQ
QPrototype vs production?
Prototypes prioritize speed; materials/process may differ from production. We help transition to mass production.
QSilicone casting quantity limit?
Typically 1–50 pieces; silicone mold life ~15–25 shots — ideal for market testing.
QFastest prototype lead time?
3D print/simple CNC as fast as 24h; silicone 5–7 days; rapid tooling 10–15 days.
QNDA available?
Standard and project NDAs supported; files stored with strict access control.
