What We Do
All manufacturing is performed in the United States using American-sourced materials. In-house CNC milling, with expanded capabilities for multi-axis machining, CNC turning, and complex part production.
CNC Machining
Precision 3-axis CNC machining for prototype and production components. Using our Haas VF-2SS machining center, we manufacture high-quality parts for industrial, automotive, agricultural, powersports, and general manufacturing applications.
Prototype Development
Transform concepts into real-world components with rapid prototyping and low-volume production. We help validate fit, function, and manufacturability before full production, reducing development time and cost while improving final product performance.
Reverse Engineering
No drawings? No problem. First Article Machining can reverse engineer worn, broken, obsolete, or undocumented components using precision measurement tools and CAD modeling. We create manufacturing-ready 3D models and drawings so replacement parts can be reproduced accurately and reliably.
CAD / CAM Programming
First Article Machining provides CAD and CAM programming services to transform concepts, sketches, and existing parts into manufacturing-ready designs. Using Mastercam, we create efficient toolpaths that reduce cycle times, improve surface finish, and ensure accurate, repeatable production. Whether you need a new design, fixture, prototype, or production-ready program, we can help bring your project to life.
Custom Fabrication
Single parts through small production runs. Flexible manufacturing with no minimum order quantities and support for complete part delivery.
Surface Finishing & Coating
Protective and functional coatings applied to machined parts. Type II and Type III hardcoat anodizing, electroless and electrolytic nickel plating, chem film (chromate conversion / Alodine) for aluminum, and powder coating for durable color finishes on steel and aluminum.
3D Printing
First Article Machining provides 3D printing services for rapid prototyping, design validation, and low-volume production. From concept models to functional engineering components, additive manufacturing helps reduce development time, lower costs, and accelerate product development before machining or full-scale production.
