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

Founder at MachForge— I'm a CNC Manufacturing Engineer with 10+ years of experience in precision machining, prototyping, and manufacturing coordination in China. I help startups, product developers, and hardware teams turn CNC designs into manufacturable parts while balancing cost, quality, and lead time. My work covers DFM review, supplier coordination, quality inspection, and production coordination. I review STEP/STP files, technical drawings, materials, tolerances, and finishing requirements to flag manufacturing issues before production begins.
