Components for Any Robotic Subsystem

Chassis & Frames

Rapidly produce rigid and lightweight frames for mobile robots or structural components for robotic arms using CNC machined aluminum or 3D printed composites.

End-Effectors & Grippers

Test different gripper designs with 3D printed, form-fitting fingers made from durable Nylon, or precision machine metal end-effectors for high-load applications.

Gears & Drivetrain Parts

Manufacture custom gears, pulleys, and drivetrain components from durable plastics like POM (Delrin) or metals like Steel for optimal power transmission.

Sensor Mounts & Enclosures

Create custom mounts for cameras, LiDAR, and other sensors. Develop protective electronic enclosures that are lightweight and precisely fit your PCBs.

Jigs & Test Fixtures

Quickly create custom manufacturing aids, assembly jigs, and functional test fixtures for your robotic systems.

Custom Actuator Components

Machine high-precision internal components for custom linear or rotary actuators, ensuring smooth and repeatable motion.

Precision, Lightweighting & Speed for Robotics

CNC Machining: Ideal for high-strength, precise prototypes and components in production-grade metals (e.g., Aluminum 6061, Stainless Steel) or rigid plastics (e.g., Delrin, PEEK).
3D Printing (SLS/MJF): Excellent for quickly creating complex, lightweight plastic prototypes (Nylon) with integrated features. Perfect for testing form, fit, and basic function.
No Minimum Order Quantity: We can produce a single custom part for your prototype, allowing you to iterate your design without unnecessary cost.
Fast Turnaround: Get your custom robot parts in days, enabling you to test and refine your designs much faster for competitions or R&D cycles.

Robotics Prototyping FAQ

What's the best process for a structural robot chassis?

For maximum rigidity and precision, CNC machining a monolithic frame from Aluminum 6061 or 7075 is ideal. It provides greater rigidity for precise motion. 3D printing (e.g., SLS Nylon) is excellent for creating lightweight, complex forms for chassis, but may be less stiff than machined metal.

Can you help me reduce the weight of my robotic components?

Yes. Lightweighting is critical for robotics. We can help by recommending materials with high strength-to-weight ratios (like Titanium) and by suggesting design optimizations like internal pocketing (for machined parts) or lattice structures (for 3D printed parts) to remove unnecessary mass.
