• Speed
  A phototool (tooling) for your custom part can typically be produced in one or two days, allowing your metal parts to ship in as few as three days. Design changes are easy to introduce during the process, thus hastening your product's time to market and enhancing flexibility along the way.
  
  
• Cost
  Most phototools cost in the $300 to $400 range, thousands of dollars less than hard tools to produce equivalent parts.
  
  
• Precision
  The Arofab process offers the flexibility to produce unusual configurations to tight tolerances (within .0005"), including the capability of producing small holes and bars that are not possible with most stamping processes. Using state-of-the-art CAD, 1/4 mil resolution is routine.

The speed and low cost of the process make it an ideal technique both for prototypes and for production quantities of precision metal parts, even into the millions.
