Frequently Asked Questions from Capitola Clients
Can I pick up my custom machined parts in Capitola?
We do not have a physical storefront or pick-up location in Capitola. All parts are manufactured at our high-capacity facility in Idaho and shipped directly to your business or home. This centralized model allows us to offer significantly lower costs compared to local California shops, while maintaining fast 2-3 day delivery times.
Do you offer design assistance or engineering feedback for my parts?
While we primarily focus on manufacturing from your provided CAD files, our experienced team can offer DFM (Design for Manufacturability) feedback to optimize your designs for CNC machining, potentially reducing costs and improving lead times. For extensive design work, we recommend engaging a local engineering firm.
What file types do you accept for CNC machining quotes?
Our instant quote tool readily accepts standard 3D CAD files such as STEP, STP, SLDPRT (SolidWorks), IPT (Inventor), and DXF (for 2D profiles). For the most accurate and fastest quote, we recommend uploading a STEP file.
