Question 1

Quels services de fabrication TigerHubs prend-il en charge ?

Accepted Answer

TigerHubs prend en charge l'usinage CNC, l'impression 3D, la fabrication de tôles, le moulage sous pression, le moulage au sable, l'outillage de moulage par injection, la finition, l'assemblage et l'inspection pour les programmes de prototypes et de production.

Question 2

Comment choisir entre l'usinage CNC, la tôle, la fonderie et l'impression 3D ?

Accepted Answer

L'usinage CNC est idéal pour les pièces métalliques ou plastiques à tolérances serrées, la tôle convient mieux aux supports et boîtiers, la fonderie est adaptée aux pièces métalliques complexes en volumes plus élevés, et l'impression 3D est utile pour les prototypes rapides ou les géométries complexes. Nos ingénieurs peuvent recommander la meilleure solution après avoir examiné votre CAO, votre matériau, votre quantité et vos exigences de tolérance.

Question 3

Pouvez-vous prendre en charge à la fois les prototypes et les séries de production ?

Accepted Answer

Oui. Nous prenons en charge les prototypes uniques, la production de transition et les commandes de production récurrentes. La méthode de fabrication, le plan d'outillage, le niveau d'inspection et le délai de livraison sont ajustés en fonction de votre quantité cible et de votre application.

Question 4

Fournissez-vous l'outillage de moulage par injection ainsi que les pièces moulées ?

Accepted Answer

Oui. Nous pouvons prendre en charge la DFM du moule d'injection, la conception du moule, l'outillage CNC et EDM, l'assemblage du moule, les essais, l'échantillonnage, les modifications techniques et la remise en production. Si vous avez également besoin de pièces moulées, nous pouvons examiner cette exigence lors du devis.

Question 5

What files should I send for an accurate quote?

Accepted Answer

Send a 3D CAD file such as STEP, X_T, IGES, STL, or 3MF when available, plus 2D drawings for tolerances, threads, surface finish, material grade, heat treatment, coating, inserts, and critical dimensions. Quantity and target lead time also help us quote accurately.

Question 6

Can TigerHubs review my design before production?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can review manufacturability risks such as thin walls, deep pockets, sharp internal corners, bend reliefs, draft angles, porosity risk, parting lines, gating, tolerances, and finish requirements before production begins.

Question 7

What affects the price of my parts?

Accepted Answer

Main cost drivers include process selection, material, part size, geometry complexity, tolerance requirements, surface finish, tooling needs, inspection scope, order quantity, and requested lead time.

Question 8

Can you quote multiple manufacturing options for the same design?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If a part could be made by more than one process, we can compare options such as CNC machining versus casting, sheet metal versus machined plate, or 3D printing versus tooling, so you can balance cost, lead time, and performance.

Question 9

What materials can TigerHubs work with?

Accepted Answer

Common materials include aluminum, stainless steel, carbon steel, tool steel, brass, copper, zinc alloys, magnesium alloys, engineering plastics, and 3D printing resins or powders. Final availability depends on the process and regional sourcing.

Question 10

What surface finishes are available?

Accepted Answer

Available finishes include anodizing, powder coating, painting, plating, brushing, polishing, bead blasting, shot blasting, tumbling, passivation, heat treatment, and basic deburring. We can recommend finish options based on appearance, corrosion resistance, wear, or assembly needs.

Question 11

Can you handle secondary operations after the main process?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can support CNC post-machining, tapping, threaded inserts, PEM hardware, welding, riveting, assembly, trimming, deburring, blasting, coating, and packaging depending on the part and service route.

Question 12

Can you help select a material if I only know the application?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Share the part function, load, temperature, environment, cosmetic expectations, regulatory needs, and annual quantity. Our team can suggest practical materials and finishes for your manufacturing process.

Question 13

What inspection reports can you provide?

Accepted Answer

Depending on project requirements, we can provide dimensional inspection reports, CMM reports, first-article inspection, material certificates, surface finish checks, hardness reports, leak testing, X-ray inspection, and production sampling records.

Question 14

How do you handle tight tolerances?

Accepted Answer

Tight tolerances are reviewed during quoting and DFM. We check the selected process, datum scheme, inspection method, material behavior, and whether post-machining or fixture inspection is needed to hold the requirement reliably.

Question 15

Can you inspect cosmetic parts and visible surfaces?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For cosmetic parts, define visible surfaces, texture, color, coating, acceptable marks, and packaging requirements. We can align inspection criteria before production so appearance expectations are clear.

Question 16

Do you support quality requirements for production orders?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For repeat production, we can document critical dimensions, inspection frequency, control plans, approved samples, packaging standards, and change-control expectations so future batches stay consistent.

Question 17

What are typical lead times?

Accepted Answer

Lead time depends on process, material, complexity, finish, quantity, and inspection scope. Simple CNC, sheet metal, or 3D printed prototypes can often move quickly, while casting, tooling, complex finishing, and production batches require more planning.

Question 18

Can you support urgent prototype projects?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tell us the deadline, must-have tolerances, acceptable material alternatives, and finish requirements. We will identify what can realistically be accelerated without risking quality.

Question 19

How do you manage communication during production?

Accepted Answer

We keep communication focused on quote confirmation, DFM issues, production start, key process updates, inspection status, and shipment. For complex projects, we can share photos, reports, and engineering notes at agreed checkpoints.

Question 20

Can you ship internationally?

Accepted Answer

Yes. TigerHubs supports international delivery. Packaging, shipping method, customs documents, and delivery terms can be discussed during quote confirmation, especially for heavy castings, molds, or production batches.
