Q: What makes HDI so special?
A:

We started out (30 years ago) building prototype molds and parts for one of the leading automotive electronic development groups. These parts were incredibly complex and very interesting to build (they were like experiments in design of what future automotive electronics would look like).

With high demands on delivery, quality, and price, we had to develop new, more efficient ways to build and produce molds and parts. Over the years, we have refined our processes even more to produce incredible results with production and prototype tooling.

 

Q:

How quickly can I get a prototype part?
A:

In most cases, we are able to produce prototype parts as fast as two weeks.

 

Q:

How do you produce prototype tooling and parts?
A:

We use proprietary techniques with different tooling steels to build molds that can easily be modified in the case of part revisions. We also use special quick change mold bases to speed setup times.

 

Q:

What advantages are there in molding prototype parts?
A:

Molded prototype parts have many advantages!

Molded prototype parts are very close in properties to production parts and in many cases have been used in pre-production processes. Molded prototype parts can be produced with any moldable material. One or several thousand parts can be produced. Prototypes can be produced in as fast as two weeks.

 

Q:

How quickly can I receive production parts?
A:

If we are building new tooling, production parts can be produced in around six to eight weeks. If we are setting up current tooling, production can begin in as little as one week.

 

Q:

What if I need the parts NOW?
A:

We are specialists in emergency set up and delivery. We use many overnight services to have parts delivered to you the next morning. If you need parts delivered the same day, we offer a special same day delivery air service.

 

Q:

Can you special pack our parts?
A:

Yes, we can. We can package parts in any way specified.

 

Q:

Can you barcode label our packages?

A:

Yes we can barcode your package to most any specification.

 

Q:

May we E-mail you our CAD files for prompt quotation?
A:

Yes, please do. This will save time and help us to better evaluate your project. Our E-mail address is: hdi@iquest.net
