FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about our rapid CNC prototyping services.

Rapid CNC prototyping uses CNC machining to produce functional parts from production-grade materials for fit, function, assembly, and design validation.

We accept common 2D and 3D formats, including STEP, STP, IGES, PDF, DWG, and DXF.

Lead time depends on part complexity, material, quantity, and finishing requirements. We provide a clear production schedule with your quotation.

Yes. Our engineers can review manufacturability, tolerances, tool access, materials, and other key design details before machining.

We support prototype quantities, including one-off parts, depending on the part design and project requirements.

Yes. Once your design is validated, we can support low-volume and repeat production using the same materials, processes, and quality requirements.
