Precision micro metal parts, quoted in about a day.

Send your drawings, specs, and requirements. A customer development engineer reviews the files directly — no gatekeeping — and most quotes return within 24 hours.

WE REGULARLY QUOTE

  • Parts at the 2–5 mm scale with tight tolerances and complex geometry
  • Fine or internal features not feasible with CNC machining
  • 17-4PH and 316L stainless steel components
  • Prototype builds of a few parts through production volumes — 1 to 100,000+ parts on one process

How a quote comes together

~24 h

Engineering review and quote

A customer development engineer reads the STEP file directly, checks it against RIPL's feature-size and tolerance envelope, and returns pricing and lead time. If something in the geometry should change, you hear that first.

On order

Same process, first part to production

No tooling to make, no requalification cliff. 1 to 100,000+ parts run on the process that made the prototype.

~2–4 weeks

Parts in hand

Typical delivery from order, inspected to the critical tolerances you flagged.

Who this is for

The RFQ process is built for teams whose parts have outgrown their manufacturing method.

Engineers & R&D teams

Developing complex, miniaturized next-gen metal parts — or hitting the wall where CNC and MIM limitations start dictating the design.

MedTech & device teams

Evaluating prototype or production options for robot-assisted, catheter-based, or interventional devices.

CDMOs & procurement

Sourcing difficult-to-manufacture precision components with the documentation regulated environments require.

What to include for the fastest quote

A complete submission usually means a same-day answer.

  • Target quantity or expected volume
  • Material preference — 17-4PH or 316L stainless steel, or ask us
  • Critical tolerances or performance requirements
  • Timing or delivery goals
  • Application context, and whether this is prototype or production
  • Any manufacturability questions your team is working through
Design-for-RIPL quick checks

CAD format — STEP preferred; STL lacks full design fidelity.

Fillets — add fillets on sharp external edges where design intent allows; the Design Guide gives the minimums.

Drawings — optional; helpful for flagging critical tolerances outside the default window of ±0.0006″ [15 µm] or ±1.5%.

Inspection — if no drawing is provided, indicate whether standard visual + outer-dimension inspection is acceptable.
