Used them over and over again for protypes. They maintain a good supply of stock items and sizes and have a large selection. They have a long lead time for custom products which can be a bit of a hassle when you're in a rush.

Strengths: metal tubing, bands

Needs to improve: long lead time

For really small parts, I use OT precision because I cant depend on them for their quality and fast turnaround times. If they make a mistake they own up to it and quickly send a new one out.

Strengths: micromachining

Needs to improve: high price

Porex is a great water filtration system that can handle many, many gallons that doesn't require much effort from me; which is great. They worked well to help prep solutions for testing but its a little bit pricey for my taste.

Strengths: Water filtration

Needs to improve: High prices.

Bae has been my go to place for material testing and analysis for multiple projects. The reports they send back to me and my team end up being the ones we send out to the FDA for approval because they are very good.

Strengths: material analysis and testing

Needs to improve: None that come to mind.

They have many microblasting stations that you can use for multiple hours a day. due to the way the spaces are designed it can get lour but that is expected for what we are doing.

Needs to improve: none

They are the best place to do aging and package testing. They are very professional and have great communication with their clients. They also have a very fast turn around time.

Needs to improve: nothing.

They are a decent calibration company. SIMCO is very willing to help out when their product isn't up to par or as expected. However they can be difficult to get a hold of and schedule a time to meet with them. Not sure if they are just busy or they are have too much going on their plate.

Strengths: Calibration services

Needs to improve: lots of mixed scheduling

While searching for a supplier for dispenser hoops, I found Contech. They don't do anything that is super amazing and different product wise but they are great in the customer service department. They send samples to help you find the right stuff and you can save money on trying to buy everything that you don't need just to find the one you do.

Strengths: clips, connectors, dispenser hoops

Needs to improve: none

When you don't have enough time, Bentec is really good because they have short lead times. The product you order will be there when you need it. The products are certified which is great for production!

Strengths: anything silicone

Needs to improve: none.

though they have good adhesive products, their reps are not that great. we get general information but nothing of much use outside of that. They seemed like they were better than the customer and unwilling to help find a better solution or product for us.

Strengths: large variety of adhesives for all purposes.

Needs to improve: lead time

Forty Wayne wires have great strength and tolerance. They are awesome in keeping and maintaining consistency over quality products. Large orders are cheap but small orders are costly.

Strengths: great variety and knowledge about wires

Needs to improve: price

Excelta cutters and tweezers really are the best when it comes to working on small, microscopic stuff. They allow a lot of control and movement to get the job done. The cutters aren't very durable and immune to dropping. The tip is likely to be messed up upon a single fall.

Strengths: tweezers and cutters

Needs to improve: Not very durable.

Allied has a large variety and stock of electronic parks and equipment. Due to the large stock you can buy as much as you want and in bulk which is cheaper

Strengths: Coil winding

Needs to improve: nothing.

They are awesome for making custom models. Dialact really takes time to understand your needs to deliver the product that you want. They have a wide range of stock models for purchase as well.

Strengths: custom models and tubing

Needs to improve: cost

Stellar Tech is stellar! They deliver high quality products on time. They really excel at cnc machining and laser welding. Stellar will even take on product orders that are very small. However, my only pet peeve is that they take a little bit of time to actually get the product to you.

Strengths: cnc and laser welding

Needs to improve: none!

They are a a great company for tubing of all variety. They can be very thin and very small if you want it to be. Microlumen has a huge selection for you to choose from. The reps are very helpful and nice!

Strengths: polyimide tubing

Needs to improve: poor estimation of delivery time
