Precision CNC Machining, Rapid prototyping, and Custom parts

What Is A CNC Machine?

A CNC machine (Computer Numerical Control machine) is a type of automated machine tool that uses computer programming to control its movements and operations with high precision. Unlike traditional manual machines, a CNC machine can perform complex tasks such as cutting, drilling, milling, turning, or 3D shaping without direct human intervention.

What Files and Information Do I Need to Submit for a Test Part?

Every successful product begins with a solid design. To start your project with 6CProto, please provide a manufacturable 3D CAD file — typically a STEP file for CNC machining or a STL/Mesh file for 3D printing. No CAD experience? No problem. Our team can help transform your concept — even a simple sketch — into

What Is Rapid Prototyping and Why Use It?

Rapid prototyping is the process of quickly turning a product idea into a physical prototype using digital design and modern manufacturing technologies. With advanced methods such as 3D printing and CNC machining, prototypes can be made from engineering-grade plastics or metals, and finished with optional surface treatments for enhanced appearance and performance. This process allows

What Is 3D Printing?

3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a process that creates three-dimensional objects by adding material layer by layer based on a digital model. It allows complex geometries to be produced quickly and cost-effectively, making it ideal for prototyping, product development, and small-scale production.
