There is a fair bit of work between a CAD file and a finished machined part. Understanding the steps helps you provide what we need and sets expectations on time and cost.
The path of a part
It starts with your model or drawing, which we review for manufacturability. From there we plan the tooling and the order of operations, generate the machine paths, select and fixture the material, then cut, measure and finish the part.
Clear drawings with critical dimensions and tolerances called out make every step faster and more accurate.
Helping it run smoothly
The more complete your file and brief, the smoother the job. Send your design through with a quote and we will tell you exactly what we need to get your CNC part cut.
