Cost & pricing

Material costs more than steel, but the fastest cutting speeds in the shop often make brass parts very competitive overall.

Tolerance: ±0.05mm easily held; ±0.01mm possible on turned features.

Frequently asked questions

Is leaded C360 safe for drinking water fittings?
C360 contains ~3% lead — use a lead-free grade such as C27400 for potable-water or RoHS-critical applications.
Does brass corrode in tropical conditions?
Brass tarnishes in humid air; a clear lacquer or nickel plating keeps it bright outdoors in Thailand.

Frequently asked questions

How long does production take?

Lead time depends on the process and quantity — 3D printing typically ships in 2–3 business days, CNC machining in 3–5, and injection molding in 10–15 after tooling. You'll see the exact lead time on every quote.

What is the standard tolerance?

CNC-machined parts are held to ±0.1 mm as standard, with ±0.05 mm achievable on critical features. 3D-printed parts are typically ±0.2–0.3 mm. Add your critical dimensions in the notes field.

What is the minimum order quantity?

There is no minimum order — we produce single prototype parts as easily as large production runs. Quantity discounts start from around 10–25 pieces.

What surface finishes are available?

A wide range of finishes is available locally, including as-machined/printed, bead blasting, anodizing (clear, black, gold), powder coating, painting and polishing.
