Frequently Asked Questions

What information is needed for a prototype quote?

Please provide a drawing (STEP/PDF), required magnet grade (or operating temperature), coating type, and the quantity needed.

Can I get samples before committing to production?

Yes! Our prototype service is specifically designed for this. We provide samples for your testing and validation before you approve a production run.

Will you sign an NDA?

Absolutely. We work with many Fortune 500 companies and startups on sensitive IP. We can sign your NDA or provide our standard agreement.

Can you recommend a magnet grade?

Yes. If you provide your operating temperature, required magnetic field, and environment, our engineers can recommend the optimal material to balance cost and performance.

How easy is it to scale up after a prototype?

Very easy. We use the same materials and quality standards in prototyping as we do in mass production, ensuring a smooth transition once your design is finalized.
