Lead Times
We are proud of our lead times at Texmo Precision Castings and consider them to be amongst the best in the industry. On this page you’ll find the standard lead time for everything from quoting, to delivering your castings.
Standard Lead Times for Investment Castings
Quoting
This process can be completed in 2-3 days.
Wax Delivery
Once a PO is placed, waxes can be ordered and be delivered in 2-3 days.
Rapid Prototyping
With no queue in manufacturing, parts can be pushed through the process in roughly 2 weeks.
Hard Tooling
Tool manufacture ranges from 3-6 weeks depending on number of factors. As such, lead times for hard tooling ranges more from 6-9 weeks to submission of castings.
Elements Which Affect Lead Times
Complexity
A complex component may require multiple iterations to reach acceptable quality levels.
Industry requirements
Audits, validations, and capability studies add to lead times.
Design for manufacture (DFM)
If a component is a brand new component or conversion from a different manufacturing process and still requires some DFM, this can add to the engineering time required at the onset of the project.
Additional outside processes.
Heat treat and plating will add additional development time.
