direct factory price with fast lead time for metal shims

Metal shims are vital for spacing, alignment, and tolerance adjustment in mechanical assemblies. They are used across various industries including:

• Aerospace

• Automotive

• Electronics

• Medical Devices

• Industrial Machinery

• Renewable Energy

When a shim is missing, production stops. Our clients rely on us to meet urgent needs with responsive manufacturing and dependable delivery timelines.

How TMN Delivers Fast Turnaround

We’ve streamlined our entire fabrication process to minimize downtime and accelerate your time-to-market. Here's how:

1. In-House Photo Etching Facility

With on-site chemical etching lines, we maintain full control of production—no third-party delays, no outsourcing. Our tooling is digital and cost-effective, allowing rapid set-up for both simple and complex shim geometries.

2. Rapid Prototyping System

Need a prototype in days, not weeks? Our flexible process allows us to go from design approval to prototype dispatch in as little as 2–3 working days (subject to material availability and part complexity).

3. Stocked Raw Materials

We keep a ready inventory of common metals such as:

• Stainless Steel (301, 304, 316)

• Brass

• Copper

• Aluminum

• Nickel Alloys

This allows us to start your project without waiting for raw material procurement.

4. Quick Tooling Setup

Photo etching doesn't require expensive dies or hard tooling. We can generate digital photo masks from your CAD file within hours—ideal for urgent jobs and fast revisions.

5. Optimized Workflow

From design to delivery, our team uses lean manufacturing principles to eliminate delays, optimize throughput, and maintain consistent quality.

Metal Shims We Produce Quickly

We specialize in a wide range of custom and standard shims including:

• Spacer Shims

• Alignment Shims

• Laminated Peelable Shims

• Slotted or Tabbed Shims

• Precision Filler Shims

• Shims with Holes, Tabs, or Slots

Whether you need a shim with simple dimensions or a complex cutout, we deliver burr-free, clean-edged parts with tight tolerances—on time.

Material Thickness Range

We work with metal sheets ranging from:

• 0.01 mm to 1.5 mm thick
  Depending on your application and design, we recommend materials that offer the best combination of strength, flexibility, and corrosion resistance.
