01. Size

SMALL

smart bracelets, e-cigarettes, earphone etc.

MEDIUM

mobile phones, tablets, portable speaker etc.

LARGE

laptops, large tablets, LCD screen etc.

02. Basic Requirements

Paint Help

Painting can apply onto most plastic or metal parts. We can customize paint to match specific color and finish, such as Pantone color, VDI texture, soft touch, pearl effect, etc. There will be additional costs for special painting effects, like fading, speckle.


 

Laser Etch Help

Laser etch on plastic, metal or rubber for deboss logo, pattern…etc. The color option is limited due to laser etch power.

Screen Print Help

Print text, logo etc… on flat or curved (with limited curvature) surface with specific color and finish per the .ai file you offered.

Pad Print Help

Print  text, logo etc… on a curve with high curvature surface with specified color and finish per the .ai file you offered. The thinnest width is about 0.05mm. Lead time is longer than Screen print.

03. Metal Finishing

Anodize Help

Anodizing can apply on aluminum. We can customize the color and finish, such as pantone color, okuno color, hairline and sandblast effect, etc. There will be additional cost for color development and special effects, like dual ano.

Stainless Steel / Titanium Help

Stainless steel and Titanium have high strength and high rigidity which can apply on the thin structure design. Our high precision CNC machines are able to process these high hardness metal and our finishing process can customize the color and finish, such as Pantone color, glossy, matte, sandblast and hairline effect, etc.

PVD Help

PVD can apply on stainless steel, titanium, or conductive layers of plastic. There are multiple color options and finishes such as different color level black, silver, gold, matte and gloss effects. 

VM/NCVM Help

Sputter can apply on acrylic parts. There are multiple color options and finishes, such as different levels of metallic color, glossy and matte effect.

Plating Help

Plating is a surface covering in which a metal is deposited on a conductive surface. The appearance will be chrome effect.


 


 

04. Soft Goods

Fabric Wrap Help

We can source fabric for different colors and textures to wrap on models. Fabric can be bonded by stitching or gluing, and can also achieve seamless effect. Adding graphics and texts by printing, hot stamping and embroidery are doable too.

Leather Help

We can source leather for different colors and texture. Leather can be bonded by stitching or gluing; leather edge oil is applicable too. With printing and hot stamping, there can be graphics and texts on the leather surface.

Rubber / Silicone Help

In model making, we can use silicone and PU rubber to cast models in different hardness and customized color. There will be additional cost if overmold is required.

Overmold Help

Overmold can combine soft material and other materials to achieve seamless effect. For mechanical purposes, we can also use overmold to achieve better strength and performance.

05. Special Texture

Pattern Help

CNC Machine pattern on plastic or metal, like stripe, knurled... but there is limited width and depth. We can offer suggestions per pattern shown in CAD. Moreover, we can also help to build CAD per the photo you offered (additional cost charged).

Chemical Etch Help

Chemical etch on metal for deboss logo, pattern…etc.

06. Functionality

Lighting Help

LED lighting effects can be various with just simple on/off, breathing, color changing, etc. Not only by clicking the button to activate LED, it can be by magnets, cable, or by app control. Based on lighting complexity, the cost will differ.

Hinge Mechanism Help

By defining how the model is desired to move, we can help to design hinge mechanisms. Based on the complexity, the cost will differ.

Sliding Mechanism Help

By defining the desired sliding effect, we can help to design a sliding mechanism. Based on the complexity,the cost will differ.

Swappable Parts Help

Model parts can be designed with exchanging features to swap for different geometry or CMF parts. It can be by using magnets, screws etc for exchanging.

Push-push Mechanism Help

Once you click the button it will trigger the model's function. Such as a push-push mechanism.

Electrical and mechanical function Help

Illumination effects can be made for the model. We can do programming to change the light color and have different illumination effects.

07. Mechanical Validation

Tapping Help

All parts have mechanical structure and require tapping for assembly with other parts.

Assembly with existed electronic components Help

Assembly electronic components (PCBA, motor, LCD display etc.) to build full function prototype.
