We’ve made a name for ourselves here in Denver, Colorado, as a reliable prototype machine shop serving industries including aerospace, defense, and medical. However, what many of our customers don’t know is that we also do low and even high-volume production work.
While precision machine shops often choose to specialize in small or large-quantity orders (instead of both), we know that many of our customers can benefit from partnering with the same shop for prototype machining all the way through to high-volume production manufacturing. And we want to be that shop.
Why Use a Precision Machine Shop for Prototyping and Production?
Here are some of the top advantages of choosing Focused on Machining as your one-stop shop for prototyping and production.
Unmatched efficiency
When you’ve already gone through prototype machining with one shop and choose to take your production order elsewhere, you’ll inevitably have people who have never made your specific part before trying to figure out how to do it.
Your prototype machining partner already has the answers.
Having worked out all the complexities during prototyping, we won’t have to take the time to learn your part. Even better—we’ll have all the fixturing in-house and can get your job programmed and set up much faster than a shop doing it for the first time.
Ultimately, we can move forward with incredible efficiency—and we pass that benefit on to you in the form of time and cost savings.
Consistent quality
Every precision machine shop has their own definition of quality. While many shops can build your part to print, you may notice small but obvious differences in aesthetics and functionality from one shop to another.
If you’re already happy with the quality we have provided you in a prototyping or low-volume capacity, it’s in your best interest to stick with us for higher-volume production.
Other shops might quote your project cheaper, but there’s no guarantee that you’ll receive the same level of quality. Let us know your price target, and we’ll do what we can to work something out.
Vendor consolidation
Starting anew with a vendor who has never worked on your part before can be a big logistical lift. By partnering with the same shop for prototyping and production, you have fewer details to iron out.
And that’s not the only way you’ll reap the benefits of vendor consolidation when you work with Focused on Machining. Part of being a true one-stop precision machine shop means project managing all secondary and outside processes for our customers, including plating, hardware installation, minor assemblies, and more.
We’ll coordinate every aspect of your project, from prototyping through production.
Low and High-Volume Manufacturing at Focused on Machining
From low-volume orders of 20-40 parts to mid-volume orders of 50-1,000 parts to high-volume orders of 1,000+ parts, Focused on Machining can handle your production needs. We can even manufacture orders in the 5,000-10,000 range. For orders larger than that, we’ll gladly connect you with another shop in the area we know and trust.
