WHAT WE MAKE
Parts we build for robotics teams
A sample of the components we support for integrators, OEMs, and automation startups.
Grippers & end effectors
Custom gripper fingers, jaws, and tool changers manufactured in aluminum, steel, and engineering plastics.
Prototypes & iterations
Rapidly printed prototypes and fit-check components for testing designs before final manufacturing.
Frames & support parts
Machined plates, brackets, and structural components designed for automated cells, gantries, and AGVs.
Custom fixtures & nests
Custom part nests, locating fixtures, and pallet tooling designed for precise, repeatable positioning.
Sensor mounts
Precision brackets and enclosures manufactured to keep cameras, sensors, and vision systems aligned.
Actuator & motion parts
Precision housings, shafts, pulleys, and mounting plates manufactured for reliable motion control.
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
Actuator housings, plates, and shafts machined to tight tolerances, supporting precise fit, smooth motion, and repeatable assembly.
Injection Molding
Cable guides, covers, and wear components molded for cost-effective, repeatable production across automated equipment.
Industrial 3D Printing
Lightweight gripper fingers, custom nests, and consolidated parts 3D printed for rapid iteration without dedicated production tooling.
WHY FLATOUT
Why robotics and automation teams choose us
Repeatable precision
Automation depends on positional accuracy. Tolerances to ±0.001 in are available for qualifying features and geometries, supported by inspection-driven quality control.
Fast design iterations
Grippers and fixtures often require refinement after the first revision. Quick-turn machining and printing help you iterate without stalling integration.
Engineering dialogue
Send us the assembly context, not only the individual part. We can identify potential interference, suggest materials, and simplify the design where it reduces cost.
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.
How fast can parts be made?
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.
Can you hold tight tolerances?
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.
What industries do you serve?
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.
Do you offer surface finishing services?
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.
What happens after I submit a quote request?
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.
