FAQ

Common questions about this CNC service.

Why use CNC machining for rapid prototypes?

CNC machining is useful for prototypes when teams need functional materials, accurate geometry, and parts that behave more like final production components.

Can rapid prototypes still include surface finishing?

Yes. Depending on the program, prototypes can include cosmetic or protective finishing when appearance or final-use simulation matters.

Is rapid prototyping only for one-off parts?

No. It often starts with one-off validation parts, but many teams move directly from prototype loops into pilot and low-volume production.
