FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What tolerances can you achieve for bumper prototypes?

We achieve ±0.02 mm to ±0.05 mm tolerances, verified by CMM inspection reports to ensure dimensional accuracy and reliable fitment for assembly and validation.

Do you support automotive-grade materials for functional testing?

We machine ABS, PC, PP, and aluminum alloys, supporting functional testing, structural validation, and material performance evaluation aligned with automotive prototype requirements.

Can you meet surface finish requirements for aerodynamic testing?

We control surface roughness through optimized machining and secondary finishing, achieving consistent Ra values suitable for wind tunnel testing and appearance validation.

How do you handle oversized bumper prototype machining?

We segment large parts and use precision bonding and alignment methods to ensure structural integrity, accurate geometry, and consistent performance across the assembled prototype.

What is your lead time for complex bumper prototypes?

Typical lead time is 7–10 business days, depending on geometry and material, supporting fast iteration cycles and timely automotive development and validation schedules.
