Generally speaking, there are following work procedure:
Sending us specification, getting our quotation including pricing, development charge, industrial manfuacturing feasibility, timing, acceepting our priciing and timing, sending us artworks, 3D files and/or models, or concept for some bespoke game components, paying development charge, getting proof and industrial prototypes of some game components, approval of our proof and prototypes, paying deposit of product payment, waiting for preproduction samples, waiting for mass production samples, inspection if you need, payment the balance, delivery by sea or air, your Customs clearance and inland transportation.
Estimated time for whole game: 90 days.
What is the minimum order quantity
MOQ is 1,000 sets. There are many industrial manufacturing process involved in game production. Each process need set up charge to start its process.

Note: If your design was not double confirmed / finished before sending to us, maybe there would be much time of waste.
For wooden tokens, sample time: 10 days upon receipt of your sketch, mock-up, 3D CAD files or anything which can show us what you want to produce. Lead time: 40 days upon receipt your approval of our preproduction samples.
For Metal character pieces, prototyping time: 7 to 10 days upon receipt of your sketch, mock-up, 3D CAD files or anything which can show us what you want to produce. Tooling time: 15 days upon receipt of approval of our prototypes. Lead time: 25 days upon receipt of approval of our preproduction samples.
For high detailed plastic miniatures, prototyping time: 10 days upon receipt of your sketch, mock-up, 3D CAD files or anything which can show us what you want to produce.

What is the best way I tell you what I want to manufactue for bespoke game pieces made of plastic, metal and Wood?
There are following way for you to show us your concept, then we can easily start our development process and later industrial mass production based on cost-effective industrial ideas:
1, For metal and plastic tokens:
1.1, Give us .jpg pictures to clearly show us what you need for industrial mass manufacturing. The pictures should be from different view. The more the better.
1.2, Give us mock-up or sculpts you make at your own end to show us what you need for industrial mass production.
1.3, Give us 3D CAD files made by your end to show us what you need for industrial mass production. Pls convert your 3D CAD files into .stp, .stl files to send us. Here our tooling experts use UG or Pro Engineer software to deal with your 3D CAD files.
1.4, Send us 3D design files along with a 3D-printed physical sample of each unique design.
1.5, Send us 3D printed models only.
Note: Now 3D printing can quickly save time to show us your concept. Once receipt of your models by 3D printer, we can quickly make our industrial prototypes to you based on industrial manufacturing feasibility for your approval. then quick tooling, and industrial mass production.
2, For wood tokens:
Because of wood turning, cutting, milling technic here, and becasue of almost all wood tokens are 2-demensional, your pencil sketch, even simple .jpg pictures can well show us what you need, then quick prototypes to you, and final quick tooling, industrial mass production.
