| 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
