  • What is the advantage of working with Sunnyhowe? Why should I choose your company to make my parts?

    Our industrial 3D printing, CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, and injection molding services provide parts made directly from the customer’s 3D CAD model, reducing the likelihood of errors. Proprietary software automates toolpath generation to decrease manufacturing times and reduce costs.
  • What companies do you work with?

    Due to the proprietary and competitive nature of projects we work on, we do not disclose a listing of our customers. However, we do regularly receive permission to share customer success stories.
  • Is a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) required to do business with Sunnyhowe?

    An NDA is not necessary to do business with SUPEX. When uploading your CAD model to our site, we employ state-of-the-art encryption and anything you upload is protected by confidentiality obligations. For more information, contact your account representative.
  • What industries use Sunnyhowe services?

    We serve a variety of industries including medical device, automotive, lighting, aerospace, technology, consumer product, and electronics.
  • When should I use machining versus injection molding?

    Before making the investment to have injection-mold tooling made or high-volume machining processes, you likely will want to test a part that is as close to the production part as possible. CNC machining is the best option for this situation.

    Additionally, engineers often need just one or maybe a few parts for test fixtures, assembly jigs, or assembly fixtures. Machining is the best option here as well, but traditional machine shops often charge a significant non-recurring engineering (NRE) charge for programming and fixturing. This NRE charge often makes getting very small quantities not affordable. The automated CNC machining process eliminates the upfront NRE costs and is able to offer quantities as low as one part at an affordable price and get parts in your hands in as fast as 1 day.

    Injection molding is better suited to support larger amounts of samples for functional or market testing, bridge tooling, or low-volume production. If you need parts before a steel tool can be made (typically 6 to 10 weeks with other molders) or your volume requirements don't justify expensive steel production tooling, we can supply production parts to meet your full requirements (up to 10,000+ parts) in 1-20 days.
  • How many machines do you have?

    We currently have more than 90 mills, lathes, 3D printers, presses, press brakes, and other manufacturing equipment. With our long history of growth, this number is always changing.
  • Where are my parts made?

    Our current manufacturing plant is in China and all parts are currently made in China.
  • How do I get a quote for part production?

    To get a quote on all of our services, simply upload a 3D CAD model on our website. You will receive an interactive quote within 24 hours with free design feedback.

    If there are problem areas in the submitted design, our quote engineers will provide detailed information on potential manufacturing issues and suggest possible solutions.
  • What types of files do you accept?

    We can accept native SolidWorks (.sldprt) or ProE (.prt) files as well as solid 3D CAD models from other CAD systems output in IGES (.igs), STEP (.stp), ACIS (.sat) or Parasolid (.x_t or .x_b) format. We can also accept .stl files. Two-dimensional (2D) drawings are not accepted.

    We can also accept floor plans or physical samples for copying and drawing
  • What extra service you can provide?

    We can not only machine the parts, we also can do surface finishes, such as anodizing, plating, powder coating, painting etc.We also assembly the parts if necessory.
  • How long is your delivery time?

    If you provide us with complete drawings, the part can be completed in as little as two weeks. More complex parts or other special customizations will take longer. Communicate with us after the drawings so that you can get a more accurate delivery time based on your project.
  • How is 3D printing different at Sunnyhowe?

    Everything we do at Sunnyhowe is focused on providing the fastest and highest quality prototypes and production parts in the industry. This demands the latest technology, managed by tight process controls. Our industrial-grade 3D printing equipment is state-of-the-art and rigorously maintained to perform like new with every build. Orchestrating it all, our trained staff produces your parts according to carefully honed procedures.
  • What is stereolithography?

    While stereolithography (SL) is the oldest of all the 3D printing technologies, it remains the gold standard for overall accuracy, surface finish, and resolution. It uses an ultraviolet laser focused to a small point, drawing on the surface of a liquid thermoset resin. Where it draws, the liquid turns to solid. This is repeated in thin, two-dimensional cross-sections that are layered to form complex three-dimensional parts. Material properties are typically inferior to those of selective laser sintering (SLS), but the surface finish and detail are unmatched.
