Support surface
We will keep the mold for 2 years. You can continue to order parts until the end of the life of the mold. After the mold expires, it will be recycled by default. If you need to send the mold to you, please contact the sales rep about shipment.
Discrepancy warning
Due to the particularity and scarcity of the surface finish process, different batches of orders cannot be guaranteed to have the same finish. For example: Aluminum anodized color, there will be color difference more or less with each time, even though you choose the same opition of color.
If you need the totally same surface finish of batch products and samples, it is recommended to keep 1-2 samples at 3PCB, and then we can mass-produce the specified products according to the samples.
