ARapidPrototype FAQs
Getting to Know ARapidPrototype
1. Where is the manufacturing done?
All processes including injection moulding, cnc machining and 3D printing, are done in-house in our 12,000 sqm manufacturing plant in Shen Zhen, China.
2. Is ARapidPrototype financially secure?
ARapidPrototype is a profitable business with zero outstanding debt.
Uploading Parts
1. What type of files do you accept?
As far as possible we prefer a step or iges file for quoting along with a 2D engineering drawing with key dimensions and tolerances detailed. For 3D printing an .obj or .stl is needed. We can quote some projects from a 2D drawing only but this is generally more time consuming.
Getting a quote
1. How long does it take to get a quote?
We aim to quote all prototype projects and rapid tooling projects within 24 hours. All injection molding, production and export tooling within 3 days. There are sometimes processes and materials which ARapidPrototype does not offer in house; these could add time to the quotation and will be highlighted as and when.
Quality and shipping
1. How Do You Manage Quality?
- Stage One: full DFM at time of quotation by highly experienced engineers. They will highlight any problem areas or make suggestions for changes.
- Stage Two: incoming inspection of materials with our own PIM Spectrometer
- Stage Three: Full QC inspection and report before shipping
2. What Are ARapidPrototype Shipping Terms?
All projects are DDU unless otherwise stated. This means the quote includes all freight and charges to a port of your choice. Any and all import and other taxes in your country are your own responsibility. If you require different shipping terms these can be negotiated on a case by case basis.
3. What if I Am Not Happy?
If the parts reach you and for whatever reason you are not satisfied you should notify ARapidPrototype within 7 days of receiving the parts and we will replace or rework for free.
