How fast can I receive parts after tooling approval?

How Quickly You Can Receive Die-Cast Parts After Tooling Approval

Typical Lead Time After Tooling Approval

Once your tooling has been approved, the typical lead time for die-cast components is approximately 2 to 4 weeks. Factors influencing this timeframe include material selection, complexity, and the specific post-processing operations required. Standard aluminum alloys such as A380, ADC12, or zinc alloys like Zamak 3 usually enable faster turnarounds.

Influencing Factors for Delivery Speed

The delivery timeline can vary based on the following factors:

• Material Type: Zinc alloys typically have shorter cycle times compared to copper alloys such as Brass 360.

• Part Complexity: Intricate geometries or thin-walled structures may add additional machining or finishing steps like CNC machining or surface treatments.

• Post-Processing Requirements: Treatments such as anodizing, powder coating, or detailed assembly procedures extend the overall lead time.

Accelerated Delivery Options

For projects demanding faster turnaround, Neway offers expedited manufacturing through our specialized rapid prototyping and low-volume manufacturing services. Through these optimized workflows, delivery times can be reduced significantly, often within 7 to 14 days after tooling approval.
