General FAQs
Got questions about our low volume manufacturing services? Check out our frequently asked questions for answers to common queries.
If you need to keep producing the same set of parts on a monthly or quarterly basis, then you can opt for a manufacturing contract.
If you’re still in the prototyping phase, we recommend using our platform for instant pricing and DfM feedback.
Hemtom has no minimum order requirements. Our services can help you scale from one-off products and prototypes all the way to mid-volume and high-volume production. Unit prices may drop significantly as volumes increase.
For manufacturing contracts, we select experienced engineers to produce all batches. Therefore, you can expect consistent part quality throughout the contract period.
Local tolerances are +.005”/-.005” for most metal geometries and +/- 0.010” for plastics. All manufactured parts have 0.010” dimensional and 1° angular tolerances.
Please standardize your needs in the inquiry, we can make adjustments for you according to our business level.
