Shenzhen Alu Rapid Prototype Precision Co., Ltd.

Yes, we can absolutely get prototype CNC parts. In fact, many machine shops—including Shenzhen Alu Rapid Prototype specifically to handle small-batch "one-off" orders for designers and engineers.

1. The Quickest Way to Get Parts

If you have a 3D file ready, you can use Online Instant Quote platforms. This is often the fastest route for a single prototype:

Upload your file: (Usually .STEP or .IGES format).

Configure: Select your material (e.g., Aluminum 6061), finish (e.g., Bead Blast), and quantity (even just 1).

Order: Most platforms will give you a price and lead time instantly.

2. Working with Specialized Shops (like Shenzhen Alu Rapid)

If your part is highly complex or requires specific precision that automated platforms can't guarantee, working directly with a shop is better:

Send an RFQ: Email your 3D files and a 2D technical drawing (to show tolerances and threads).

Manual Review: An engineer will review your design for "machinability" (DFM) and may suggest changes to save you money.

No Minimums: These shops typically have No Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) because we understand the prototyping phase involves constant changes.

3. What You Need to Provide

To get an accurate part, you' Il need to have these three things ready:

1. 3D CAD Model: The digital "map" for the machine.

2. 2D Drawing (PDF): Crucial for indicating which holes are threaded (tapped) andwhich surfaces need to be extra precise.

3. Material Specs: Are you looking for a specific aluminum grade (6061 for general us7075 for high strength)?

4. Typical Lead Times & Costs

Lead Time: Usually 3 to 10 business days plus shipping.

Cost: CNC prototypes are more expensive than 3D prints (often starting at $50–$200 per part) because of the "setup time" required to program the machine and secure the material. However, the cost drops significantly if you order 5 or 10 instead of just 1.
