Tooling and NRE

Tooling, fixtures, and sample routes planned around geometry, project stage, and production volume.

Start with what you have

You do not need a perfect drawing before talking to us. A finished drawing, sample part, rough layout, material requirement, or package problem can all be enough to start a tooling discussion.

Helpful information to send:

  • Drawing, sketch, or sample photo
  • Material or plating requirement
  • Expected quantity or project stage
  • Critical dimensions or surfaces
  • Package, sealing, welding, or assembly interface
  • The problem you are trying to solve

NRE options

Choose a lighter route for samples, or automated tooling for stable volume work.

Small-batch tooling

For samples, pilot runs, or lower-volume orders, Sanjin can keep the tooling route lighter while the design is still being reviewed.

  • Useful for prototypes, sample approval, and early production trials.
  • Helps check geometry, forming behavior, burr risk, and key dimensions before the route is fixed.
  • Avoids unnecessary automated tooling before demand is clear.

Automated tooling

For stable drawings and repeated orders, automated tooling supports faster output and repeatable stamped geometry.

  • Used when the drawing, quantity, and production need are already clear.
  • Supports repeatable positioning, forming, and handling across production lots.
  • Helps keep long-term output consistent once the approved route is ready to scale.

NRE handles the work behind the tooling decision.

The customer does not need to solve every manufacturing question before contacting Sanjin. NRE is where our team works through the tooling details and turns the requirement into a practical next step.

  1. You bring the requirement

    A drawing, a sample, or even an unfinished package idea can start the discussion.

  2. We work through the tooling details

    Sanjin reviews geometry, material behavior, tooling references, sample route, and adjustment points behind the part.

  3. You get a practical next step

    The result is a clearer route for sampling, first article review, tooling adjustment, or production preparation.
