Small Business Manufacturing Services That Help You Go From Idea to Finished Product
Being an entrepreneur or running a small business can be exciting and rewarding, as well as a way to make your dreams come true — but it takes a lot of time and involves a lot of work. There’s no clock-in/clock-out when you’re the CEO, marketer, sales rep, accountant, product designer, and everything else all in one. That’s why it’s important to take all the help you can get, especially if you’re doing something outside of your comfort zone, like trying to figure out how to turn an idea or sketch into a physical product you can sell.
But we want to make this aspect of starting or growing your business easier.
At Accurate CNC, we understand that small business is community-driven, and as a family-run CNC machine shop, we value what this sense of community means. But more than that, we understand how important your products are to you and the success of your business, and that’s why we want to help you with all of your small business manufacturing needs.
Whether you’re a hobbyist with an idea or own an established business and want to expand your product lineup, we can help you determine the most cost-effective way to manufacture your products and provide the services you need to bring them to market.
Let Us Be Your Guide to Small Business Manufacturing
Providing custom machining services is at the core of what we do at Accurate CNC, but every great product starts as just an idea. Often, customers come to us with just that — an idea or maybe a sketch — but they aren’t quite sure how to turn it into something tangible.
But that’s where we can help.
Helping You Navigate the Complexities of Manufacturing
Images all from Ratio Components
If you’ve never designed or manufactured a physical product before, there’s probably a lot of terminology that gets tossed around that you’re not familiar with. While we love the manufacturing industry because there’s always something new to learn, this can be challenging and maybe even a bit overwhelming if you're new to the industry.
To help you navigate the complexities of manufacturing, we’re always happy to discuss your ideas, requirements, and manufacturing needs thoroughly. From there, we can explain how to manufacture your product cost-effectively, what materials may be good options, and what steps are involved in bringing your new product from concept to completion.
Whether you’re creating your first product or you’re an engineer-turned-entrepreneur who’s ready to discuss metrology, we’ll provide you with all of the information you need to make the right decisions, letting you get back to everything else you need to do to launch or grow your business.
Product Design and CAD Services for Small Business
If you already know how to use computer-aided design (CAD) software and come to us with a finished model that’s ready for machining — great! That makes things easy. But if you don’t know where to start and need the support of experts to get your idea off the ground, the Accurate CNC team is ready to help.
No CAD File? No Problem!
We know that asking our customers to be experts at CAD is asking a lot — that’s why we don’t do that. At Accurate CNC, we provide CAD design and rapid prototyping services to help you bring your ideas to life faster.
Using Autodesk Fusion, we can create a CAD model of your drawing or sketch to help you see your product design in 3D. But more than that, with your product’s CAD file, we can:
Provide design and manufacturing advice to help you keep your costs down
Help you evaluate your material options and determine the best material for your product
Quickly start creating a prototype of your new product so you can get it in your hands and see how it performs
Seamlessly scale production to hundreds of units when you’re ready to start selling your new product to customers, whether locally or all over the world
With Accurate CNC, You Own Your CAD Designs
While many manufacturers may try to retain control of your CAD file to keep you returning to them for your production needs, we don’t feel that’s ethical. It’s your idea, your design, and your product — and at Accurate CNC, you own your CAD file, not us.
Though we hope you’ll rely on our small business manufacturing services to produce your products for years to come, if there’s ever a point where you need your CAD file, all you have to do is ask.
