Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
We have expertise in machining a wide range of materials, including various metals (aluminum, stainless steel, tool steel, brass, copper, etc.) and engineering plastics. Please contact us to discuss the specific material requirements for your project.
We are an ISO 9001:2015 certified contract manufacturer, ensuring high quality and adherence to regulatory requirements.
Yes, Falk Precision Inc. is ITAR registered and currently support U.S. Defense programs.
Yes, we can work with clients to develop an inventory or stocking program to ensure a consistent and reliable supply of parts for your production needs free of charge.
You can request a quote by sending design files and project specifications via the company website or email - RFQ@FalkPrecision.com 2D drawings (DXF or PDF for reference) and 3D models (STP or IGS preferred) are typically required to provide an accurate estimate.
We typically turn quotes around in 48-72 hours, however exact time depends on complexity and value add services required.
To ensure an accurate quote, provide:
- 3D CAD models (STP or IGS format) and 2D technical drawings (including critical tolerances).
- Material type and any specific finish requirements.
- Required quantity and estimated annual usage (EAU).
- Desired lead time.
The standard minimum order quantity varies depending on the part's complexity. However, orders for single prototypes or small-batch runs can often be accommodated. Please contact the company to discuss specific volume requirements.
Yes, the company applies its engineering and production experience to optimize designs for manufacturability (DFM) and suggest cost-saving measures.
- CNC Milling: The material is held stationary while a spinning cutting tool moves to remove material and create the part's shape. This is used for a wide range of complex shapes.
- CNC Turning: The material is rotated while a stationary tool is fed into the material to shape it, primarily used for round or cylindrical parts.
The quality department performs rigorous inspections throughout the manufacturing process, from incoming material quality control to in-process and final shipment inspection. Testing equipment such as CMMs (Coordinate Measuring Machines), laser measuring machines, calipers, micrometers, and roughness meters is used to ensure all parts meet specified tolerances.
A variety of in-house and outsourced secondary services are offered, including chemical conversion film (chem film), anodizing, sandblasting, plating, powder coating, wet paint, CARC, heat treatment, screen printing, letter fill, and laser engraving.
Standard production lead times typically range depending on complexity, value add services and current capacity. Rush services may be available for an additional. Please contact us for exact lead time on your project.
