While direct comparisons are complex, Alpha-Mold’s prices for plastic injection molds and CNC machined parts are typically 25-45% lower than those of suppliers in North America and Europe. Rather than competing solely on price with other Chinese suppliers, we emphasize high standards of efficiency, quick response times, and expert craftsmanship.

Tolerances depend on several factors such as part size, design geometry, material, surface finish, and manufacturing process. After confirming your order, we will conduct a design review to highlight areas where achieving specific tolerances may be challenging. We encourage you to specify which areas are critical to maintain tight tolerances and which can be adjusted to help save time and reduce costs.

General tolerance guidelines:

1、For CNC machining, we follow ISO 2768 (medium) for plastics and ISO 2768 (fine) for metals.

2、Typically, CNC machining tolerances range from ±0.005″ (±0.125mm) to ±0.0008″ (±0.002mm).

Please note that higher tolerances often lead to increased costs. All specifications should be clearly defined in your 2D drawings to ensure precision.

We prefer 3D CAD files in X_T, STP, STEP, STL, SolidWorks, or IGES formats. For 2D drawings, we accept DWG or PDF formats, as long as they contain clear dimensional details and specific manufacturing requirements.

Yes, your design is strictly confidential. We are happy to sign any necessary non-disclosure agreements. Additionally, we enforce a strict no-photography policy in our factory to ensure your product’s privacy. We pride ourselves on our long-standing reputation for working with numerous innovative designs while maintaining confidentiality.
