Mastercam programming for shops that need extra capacity, SolidWorks modeling from your sketches and drawings, and in-house CNC router machining for prototypes and small runs. One engineer, start to finish.
Programming, modeling, and machining, priced per job or by the hour.
3-axis, 3+2, and full simultaneous 5-axis toolpaths from your 3D models and drawings. Prismatic, contoured, and multi-op parts.
Send a hand sketch, a napkin drawing, or an old print. I build a clean SolidWorks model and drawing you can use for quoting, manufacturing, or your own records.
In-house machining on my CNC router for prototypes, one-offs, and small batches, cut from your model or from one I create for you.
Editing and tuning Mastercam posts so code comes out matching how your shop runs: safe starts, tool-change behavior, 5-axis output, and canned cycles.
Review of existing programs for dynamic/high-efficiency toolpaths, fewer setups, and better tool choices. Changes are documented before and after.
Setup sheets, tool lists, and work offsets for your operators, plus ballooned drawings and characteristic lists for first-article inspection.
Mechanical and manufacturing engineering background, with production programming experience on 5-axis machines.

| Confidentiality | NDAs welcome. Customer files are never shared or reused. Export-controlled data is handled offline. |
Remote by default. On-site prove-out support available locally.
A model, a drawing, or just a sketch, plus quantity, material, and what you need back.
Fixed price or hourly estimate, with a delivery date. Usually within one business day.
The model is built or cleaned up, toolpaths are programmed and verified in Mastercam, and parts are cut if you ordered them.
Files, code, or finished parts delivered. Help during first-run prove-out is included for programming jobs.
Tell me about the part and what you need. Attach models and drawings in your email reply. Large files can go through a link (Dropbox, OneDrive, WeTransfer).
