About Forge Automation
Summary
Forge Automation manufactures low-volume custom CNC metal parts for mechanical engineers, shipping orders in four days or less. Engineers upload a CAD model to the platform and receive finished parts roughly three to four times faster than the two-to-three-week lead times common at traditional suppliers. The service replaces the slow quoting, scheduling, and production cycles that typically stall hardware development teams.
Business model
Per-order pricing on custom CNC parts.
Go-to-market
Mechanical engineers and hardware teams are the primary buyers, reached through a self-serve platform where customers upload CAD files directly to place orders.

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.
