Product development manufacturing support
Manufacturing support for engineers, startups, and founders across the US. Whether you’re validating a first prototype or preparing for production, Flatout gives you honest process guidance, DFM feedback, and parts in days, with no minimums.
What we make
How we support development teams
Where Flatout fits from napkin sketch through production launch.
Proof-of-concept parts
Fast printed and machined parts that turn an idea into something you can hold and test.
DFM & process guidance
Design for manufacturing feedback on every quote, catch cost and moldability issues before they're expensive.
Functional prototypes
Fast iterations, real world strength, with low quanitity additive manufacturing capabilties.
Looks-like models
Cosmetic prototypes with finishes and textures for pitches, photography, and user testing.
Bridge production
Low volume runs that get you to market while production tooling is built, or before you commit to it.
Production scale-up
A clear path from prototype quantities to full production without switching vendors.
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
Production intent prototypes and first articles in the real material, because testing in the wrong material tests nothing.
Injection Molding
When volumes justify tooling, we guide you from bridge tooling through steel, with honest math on the crossover point.
Industrial 3D Printing
The fastest path from CAD to part in hand. Iterate in days across SLA, SLS, MJF, and metal processes.
Why Flatout
Why founders and engineers choose us
Real humans, real advice
Every quote is reviewed by an engineer who'll tell you what to change, and when a cheaper process does the job.
No minimums, no gatekeeping
Order one part or one thousand. Early stage projects get the same attention as production accounts.
Speed when it matters
Investor demo next week? Standard lead times of 7–10 Business days with rush options when the calendar is unforgiving.
