We tailor our services to the specific needs of the automotive industry: from design optimization (such as wrinkle-resistant treatment of body panels) to scalable production. Whether it's prototyping 3D-printed plastic parts or mass production of small batches of engine components, we can adjust processes to meet rapid cycle times and assembly requirements, thereby accelerating your time to market.
Our production processes comply with IATF 16949 standards, including raw material inspection (certified metals/plastics), in-process inspection (surface smoothness, angular accuracy), and traceable documentation. Each component meets OEM standards for safety-critical components.
We are equipped with Zeiss coordinate measuring machines, Maer projectors, and Mitutoyo gauges to verify stringent tolerances (geometric tolerance ≤ 0.005 mm) and surface quality (Ra ≤ 0.8 μm). A 99.5% yield rate ensures reliable product performance in automotive systems.

FAQ's
-
We do thorough checks of every manufacturing partner (MP) during the initial onboarding process and perform audits on processes and certifications every two years. To source parts from certified MPs, you can indicate these requirements on the platform or contact [email protected]. We'll match your designs with the right supplier.
-
Our platform is secure and encrypted to ensure that customer data and interactions with suppliers are all protected. All digital models and drawings are safely stored on AWS servers, located in Europe. MPs must sign our Manufacturing Partner Agreement as part of their onboarding, which contractually obligates them to keep customer data confidential. Our General Terms of Sale prohibit orders that misappropriate or infringe on copyrights, patents, design rights, trademarks, trade secrets and other IP rights.
-
One of the reasons engineers use DakingsRapid is that we take on all the risks for you. If your parts aren't up to spec, you can file a dispute claim and we'll remake your components or refund your order. For more detail on how we handle disputes, you can contact our Customer Success Team. At the same time, we complete non-conformity reports for parts that don't meet all requirements, with follow-up with manufacturers including root cause analysis and rapid corrective actions.
-
If you want to get parts in specialized materials that aren't listed on our site or platform, you can send a request to your account manager or contact [email protected]. Our supplier network has access to a huge range of materials, so most of the time we are able to find a manufacturing partner to fulfill your request.
