What if my material isn’t in stock?
We can source other materials, this would just mean longer lead times and we would transfer your job over from our Rapid+ program into our standard service.
Can you handle multiple setups or complex assemblies?
In order to meet tight deadlines, our rapid service focuses on single-setup operations. For complex multi-setup parts or assemblies, we'll provide timeline and pricing for our standard service.
What is your capacity for rush jobs?
In order to maintain tight deadlines we only have a certain number of time slots available. We will confirm availability when you submit your quote request
