CNC Prototyping

CNC Prototyping is the process of machining a working first-article part from customer CAD files with computer-controlled mills or lathes. First, EGM Manufacturing reviews your drawing. Then, we cut the part from aerospace-grade aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, or plastic. Finally, we ship inspected prototypes in as little as one to three days.

For over fifty years of combined machining experience, EGM Manufacturing has earned a strong name in CNC Prototyping. Moreover, we move projects from idea to finished part without delay. From our AS9100 and ITAR-registered shop in Sunrise, Florida, we serve aerospace, defense, and space buyers. Additionally, our JCP certification proves we handle controlled data safely. Because our quality system backs every job, each prototype meets tight limits. Whether you need one proof-of-concept or several hundred units, EGM scales cleanly from prototype to short run production.

When a flight-critical part reaches qualification testing, there is no room for dimensional drift, material swaps, or surface flaws. Therefore, aerospace and defense buyers demand CNC Prototyping inside a certified quality system. Moreover, a prototype that matches final-production limits, material certs, and finish specs removes surprises during design review and speeds up first article approval. In fact, EGM builds every prototype inside the same system we use for production. As a result, the part you test is the part you'll get at volume.

Every CNC Prototyping job at EGM follows a clear workflow. First, your team sends CAD files, 2D drawings, and material specs. Next, our process engineers review the package, confirm the part can be made, and plan tooling. Then, the job goes to the right platform — 3-axis, 4-axis, or 5-axis CNC milling, or multi-axis lathe — based on shape and finish needs. After that, our CMM checks the finished part against the print. Finally, we ship with full paperwork.
