Partnership FAQs

Clarifying key aspects of working with MetalCore Manufacturing.

What certifications does MetalCore hold?
We maintain ISO 9001:2015, AS9100D (Aerospace), IATF 16949 (Automotive), and ISO 13485 (Medical Device) certifications. Full audit reports and material traceability documentation are provided to all partners.
Can I switch partnership tiers later?
Yes. Our partnership models are designed to be flexible. As your volume or strategic needs evolve, we can transition you to a higher or lower tier with minimal disruption and updated SLAs.
How do you handle IP and confidential data?
All partnerships begin with a mutual NDA. We use segregated workcells, encrypted file transfers, and role-based access controls. CAD files and proprietary specifications are never used for other clients without explicit written consent.
What is the typical lead time for new partnerships?
From initial inquiry to first article inspection, the average timeline is 14–21 days for standard components. Complex aerospace or medical parts may require 30–45 days for full process validation and documentation.
Do you offer financing or tooling cost sharing?
For Strategic Alliance and Preferred partners, we offer structured tooling amortization over the production run. We also work with third-party manufacturing finance providers to reduce upfront capital requirements.
