Exact Manufacturing

International Imaging Electronics, Inc. (IIE) manufactures medical imaging electronic equipment and recently has developed its The Perfect Shot^TM dental camera system with the help of Exact Manufacturing.

Why did IIE choose Exact Manufacturing?

Met Exact Manufacturing representatives at the 1997 Design Engineering Show
Before considering extrusions, our prototypes were developed from flat sheet and not practical for production quantities
Looking for an alternative manufacturing method with lower tooling costs
Sent out 10 RFQ's and only Exact Mfg could meet the dimensional and tolerance requirements
Fast turn-around of quotation - three day inclusive
Recommended by other extruders
Knowledgeable on technical questions, such as material selection and finishing possibilities
Highly professional in communications and responsiveness with consistent point of contact
Competitive price and delivery
Minimum volume was within IIE prototype budget

What were the cost and time savings over other techniques?

Low tooling start-up costs of $1,000 x 3 parts, compared to $23,000 for the same items (saved $20,000)
Fast turn-around of 5 weeks, compared with 12 weeks for other method (saved 7 weeks)

Was IIE happy with the product?

Samples were received ahead of time
Full dimensional inspection report was sent with the samples
Flexible in working with IIE when design modified
Parts fit together perfectly
