Quick-Turn Prototypes and Research Parts in San Jose from HT Precision

A research lab does not need a thousand parts. It needs a few parts, made right, quickly, from the right material. HT Precision, Inc. is a San Jose machine shop listed here as started in 1998, making prototype, research and production parts for semiconductor, aerospace and medical equipment, with precision machined parts, quick turn prototypes, research parts and production parts, in stainless steel, copper, Kovar, aluminum, plastics and Ultem-1000. This page explains how to order quick turn prototypes and research parts in San Jose.

Research parts are different

A research part often goes into a one-off experiment or a test setup. The design may change after each trial. The quantity is small and the deadline is tight. The material may be unusual. A shop that handles research parts is used to quick questions, small orders and changes in direction.

Materials on the listing

The listing names stainless steel, copper, Kovar, aluminum, plastics and Ultem-1000. Here is a quick guide.

• Stainless steel: corrosion resistant and strong
• Copper: excellent thermal and electrical conductivity
• Kovar: an alloy designed to match the expansion of glass and some ceramics, used in sealed electronic packages
• Aluminum: light and easy to machine
• Plastics: light, insulating and chemical resistant
• Ultem-1000: a stiff, heat resistant plastic with good electrical insulation

State the exact material in your request. If you are not sure which is best for your experiment, describe the conditions and ask for a suggestion.

Quick turn prototypes

Quick turn means fast delivery. To get it, make sure your request is complete. Missing details, such as unclear tolerances or unknown material, slow a job down. Say what date you really need, and whether partial deliveries are useful.

Precision machined parts

The listing names precision machined parts. If a dimension is critical to your experiment or equipment, mark it. Say how it will be measured and what accuracy you need.

Production parts

When a prototype proves out, you may need larger quantities. The listing names production parts. Share your forecast, so the shop can plan how to make them efficiently.

Industries on the listing

The listing names semiconductor, aerospace and medical equipment. If your work has special needs, such as cleaning or certificates, list them in the request.

Started in 1998

The listing says the shop started in 1998. That is long enough for a shop to build up experience with many programs. A sample order is still the best test.

What to include in an RFQ

• Drawing and 3D model with revision
• Exact material and grade
• Quantity and any extra pieces for testing
• Tolerances and critical features
• Finish and cleaning needs
• Delivery date
• Any planned changes after the first test

Be open about changes

If you expect the design to change after testing, say so. A shop can then suggest ways to make the first part in a way that makes revision easier, such as leaving extra stock on a feature that may move.

Why local helps

San Jose is close to many labs and equipment makers. A nearby shop makes it easy to drop off a sample or pick up a part the same day.

Small orders deserve clear paperwork

Even for a single part, include a purchase order number, a drawing revision and a contact who can answer questions. Small orders can move quickly when the paperwork is complete. If your lab or company has special receiving instructions, include them. A part that arrives in the wrong packaging or without the right label can cause delays at your end, even if it is machined perfectly.
