Absolutely — Makelab encourages sample orders before production runs.
Why Order Samples First:
Verify material properties and finish quality
Test fit and function in your application
Evaluate strength and durability under real conditions
Confirm color and surface texture meet expectations
Catch design issues before investing in volume production
Sample Order Process:
Order 1-3 sample parts through our standard quoting process
Test and evaluate the samples
Request design modifications if needed
Once approved, proceed with larger quantity order
Production Pricing After Samples:
Once you've validated your design with samples and are ready for production quantities (10+ parts), ask about volume discounts during your production quote.
Material Testing:
If you're unsure which material is right for your application, we recommend ordering samples in 2-3 different materials to compare performance.
Sample Timeline:
Samples follow the same production timeline as regular orders. For faster turnaround, ask about rush service for your sample parts.
