Software Enabled CNC Parts Supplier

Forge Automation runs software enabled factories that deliver custom metal parts in four days or less. Instead of mechanical engineers having to wait two to three weeks for their low volume CNC parts, they can simply upload a CAD model on our platform and we will ship it out in four days or less. We aim to give mechanical engineers the "Amazon experience" for custom metal parts.

Problem:

Hardware development is hard because it takes 2-3 weeks to receive prototype parts after placing an order with a supplier. For those in the software world, imagine having to wait 2 weeks to compile your code - you would hate your life and nothing would get done! Engineers just want a CNC service that is quick, affordable, and reliable!
