Frequently Asked Questions

Why wouldn't I just hire a full-time programmer?

Good Question! For starters, an experienced full-time programmer now exceeds $100,000, plus benefits (and good luck finding one available). Aside from that, your programming demands may fluctuate. Sometimes machines sit idle waiting for programs. Other times, programmers sit idle waiting for parts.

With the monthly plan, you can benefit from having full-time support without the commitment of a full-time employee. You don't need to worry about hiring and firing. We're always here.

With the hourly packages, you can cash in on support when demand spikes. Credit hours never expire.

What services are included in the memberships?

All plans include:
• CNC programming of your parts
• Custom fixture design
• Programming of custom fixtures
• Detailed setup sheets with written instructions and images
• Tool lists
• Unlimited program updates

Do you provide NC files?

We provide the native CAD/CAM files (Fusion 360). We don't post the code. We request that you post the code to ensure compatibility with your post processor and machines.

What machines do you program?

We program 3- to 5-axis mills.

How do I submit a programming request?

Programming requests are submitted using Trello. After subscribing to a membership plan, you will receive a link to your Trello board with instructions on how to submit requests. It's super simple. Watch the video below:

What software do you use?

We currently use Autodesk Fusion exclusively.

Are the programs verified with simulation?

All programs are verified with basic tool path simulation, and in some cases, we also offer full kinematic machine simulation. But, due to the variety of machines and post processors on the market, we strongly suggest processing the program in-house as you normally would. This is the safest choice and best practice.

How fast will I receive my programs?

On average, most requests are completed within 1-2 days. More complex parts may take longer.

How do you know what tools I have in my shop?

One great thing about Fusion is that it is cloud-based. This means all you have to do is add us to your Fusion team and grant the correct permissions and we will have access to your tool libraries and fixture components. We provide step-by-step instructions to help you get this set up.

Can I submit ITAR parts?

No, we don't accept ITAR parts at this time.
