I will machine cnc prototypes with dfm review for robotics and hardware startups


About this gig
I review your CAD for manufacturability before machining CNC prototypes, typically up to 10 pcs, for robotics and hardware teams. I help catch costly design issues before you commit to a larger production run, not after.
This is for early-stage engineering: your design is still being tested and iterated on, not yet locked for production.
DFM review includes:
- Feasibility check on your geometry, tolerances, and features
- Flagging costly-to-machine details before cutting
- Material and finish recommendations
Typical parts I work on:
- Robotics structural components
- UAV mechanical parts
- Enclosures and functional prototypes
Capabilities:
- Rapid CNC machining for prototypes and small quantities
- Engineering-fit focused machining, not just cosmetic parts
- Materials: aluminum, stainless steel, plastics
- Standard tolerances of 0.02mm to 0.05mm, tighter available on request
- Prototype turnaround: 5 to 10 business days, depending on part complexity and quantity

FAQ
Can you manufacture my parts?
Yes. I can coordinate CNC prototype machining for small quantities, typically up to 10 pcs. For batch production, typically 100 to 2,000 pcs, please see my dedicated production Gig.
What file formats do you accept?
STEP, STP, IGES, X_T, DWG, DXF and PDF drawings.
Do you support robotics projects?
Yes. Robotics, UAV, automation equipment, fixtures, sensor mounts and custom hardware are my primary focus.
Do you offer any discount if I plan to move into production later?
Yes. If you need a validation run before committing to a larger order, I can credit 100% of that validation cost toward your production order once it's placed. This is meant for teams validating a supplier before scaling — reach out via Custom Offer if that's your situation.
