For the last 12 months or so we have been bombarded with companies who are asking us to deliver 3+2 style parts within ridiculous short periods of time. Most of the time they are constantly asking for parts delivered between 1-2 weeks. I think engineers are starting to get spoiled by these chinese RFQ sites where you can upload a part and it shows up in a week from china or similar.
If you are doing low volume complicated parts (doesn't have to be 5 axis style work but please dont include flat parts with 2/3 operations with basic features) what are you quoting for lead time on a normal basis? I'm trying to see if I have just lost touch since we have grown large and have too many machines to control with only 2 of us programming / doing complex prototype style jobs.
