Mounts & accessories

Snap-fit clips, brackets, mounts, and add-on accessories molded for reliable fit, durability, and volume production.

Branded components

Textured, polished, and engraved components with premium finishes that enhance product appearance and brand identity.

Functional prototypes

Looks-like and works-like prototypes for design testing, presentations, user feedback, and product validation.

Pilot & production runs

Bridge tooling supports initial production runs, with scalable manufacturing options as demand and order volumes grow.

​ THE RIGHT PROCESS

How we match process to part

Not sure which way to go? Send us the CAD and we’ll recommend the best fit for your volumes, tolerances, and budget.

CNC Machining

Metal accents, premium housings, and prototypes machined with retail-grade finishes for strength, durability, and appearance.

Injection Molding

Consumer product housings and components with SPI surface finishes, overmolding options, and cost-effective production at scale.

Industrial 3D Printing

Rapid design iterations using MJF and SLA to evaluate product appearance, fit, and function before investing in production tooling.

​ WHY FLATOUT

Why consumer product teams choose us

One partner, start to finish

Keep prototyping and production with one manufacturing partner, preserving design knowledge and consistency as your volumes grow.

No minimums, honest advice

Start with the quantity your project needs. We help evaluate tooling options, production costs, and the right time to scale.

Quality you can see & feel

From surface texture and gloss to parting lines and finishes, we help create products that look and feel retail-ready.

​ FAQ

Questions, answered

Have a question that is not answered here? Contact our engineering team directly and we will get back to you quickly.

What file types do you accept?

We accept major 3D CAD formats, including STEP, IGES, SolidWorks, Parasolid, and STL. PDF and DXF drawings are also helpful for communicating dimensions, tolerances, materials, and finish requirements.

Timing depends on the process, material, quantity, and complexity of your parts. Quotes are typically provided within 24 hours. Prototype orders may be completed in as little as 1 to 10 business days, while larger production orders may require additional time.

Yes. We can hold tolerances as tight as ±0.001 inch on critical features when the material, geometry, and manufacturing process allow it. Include a drawing with your CAD files so our engineering team can review each tolerance requirement.

We support customers across automotive, industrial equipment, consumer products, product development, and other industries that require dependable custom parts. Contact us to discuss the requirements for your application.

Yes. Available finishes include anodizing, powder coating, plating, polishing, and other options based on the material and manufacturing process. Tell us your appearance and performance requirements when requesting a quote.

Our engineering team reviews your files, material, quantity, tolerances, and finish requirements. We will contact you if we have questions, then provide clear pricing, estimated timing, and the next steps for production.
