From CAD and DFM review to production, inspection, and delivery.
MachForge provides engineering-led CNC manufacturing coordination for robotics, UAV, and hardware teams.
We help connect engineering requirements with the manufacturing process — from reviewing CAD and drawings to coordinating machining, finishing, inspection, and production follow-up.
A manufacturing project involves more than turning a CAD file into a quote.
Material, tolerances, tooling, workholding, finishing, inspection, production requirements, and assembly considerations can all affect how a part should be manufactured.
MachForge works between the engineering requirements and the manufacturing process to keep those decisions connected.
The goal is not simply to get a part machined.
It is to keep the original engineering intent connected to the manufacturing process as the project moves from CAD to finished parts.
We start with the CAD model, drawings, quantities, materials, tolerances, finishes, and other available project requirements.
Where requirements are unclear or potentially conflicting, we address them before production.
The design is considered in the context of how it will actually be produced.
Depending on the part, this may involve:
The purpose is not to redesign parts unnecessarily.
It is to identify manufacturing risks early enough to address them before production.
Machining and related manufacturing work is coordinated with manufacturing partners in China based on the requirements of the project.
The manufacturing approach is selected around the part, its materials, tolerances, quantity, and finishing requirements.
MachForge coordinates production with manufacturing partners in China rather than operating an in-house machine shop.
MachForge stays involved throughout the manufacturing process rather than treating production as a black box between quotation and delivery.
Production progress, inspection requirements, and issues that may affect the finished parts are followed up on with the manufacturing partners.
Depending on the project, inspection may include:
After production and inspection, completed parts are prepared for delivery according to the project requirements.
The objective is straightforward:
Keep the engineering requirements connected to the physical parts that arrive at your door.
A prototype is one stage of a manufacturing project.
Low-volume production introduces another requirement: the manufacturing process needs to reproduce the intended result repeatedly.
As quantity increases, questions become more important:
The question is not only: Can this part be made?
It is also: Can the manufacturing process keep producing the intended result?
MachForge supports projects through the transition from prototype builds to low-volume production.
MachForge focuses on engineering-driven hardware projects, particularly:
For teams that need CNC manufacturing support without having to manage every manufacturing relationship themselves.
The manufacturing side of a hardware project often involves more decisions than the CAD file shows.
MachForge provides an engineering-focused point of coordination between the project team and the manufacturing side.
Keep the engineering intent clear from CAD to finished part.
Send a STEP file, drawing, or other available project information.
MachForge can review the manufacturing requirements and identify relevant considerations before production moves forward.
