They are very responsive with their feedback on my profile design. However, the majority of the waiting time is with their cutting vendor selection and capability.

Strengths: They are knowledgeable in metal cold rolling even with odd profiles. They can hold +/- .003" tolerance on the small radii of the profile I submitted. They were great in educating me on the cold rolling process they use. They explained to me why cold rolling is a better process than cold drawing for my application/profile. They were able to target a yield strength of 150ksi with the final product!

Needs to improve: They have to contract out the cutting and straightening operation to another vendor, which can increase lead time significantly. I inquired the process with which the vendor cut the parts to size but that conversation took some time. It is important for me to know how the vendor cuts the parts to length (i.e. saw cut, shear cut, milling, EDM) in order for me to give the drawing appropriate specifications.
