At First Cut Prototype, our mission is to provide real CNC machined plastic parts — FAST. Our subtractive rapid prototyping process combines traditional rapid prototyping with CNC machining to deliver the following advantages:
- Speed — Get CNC machined plastic parts at least as fast as you can get additive rapid prototypes.
- Convenience — First Cut Prototype brings the online quoting and ordering you expect from rapid prototyping to the CNC machining world.
- Real material properties — Your parts are machined from real blocks of plastic — not the "plastic like" materials used in additive rapid prototyping processes. Click here to see how CNC machined parts compare to FDM parts.
- Improved surface finishes — CNC machining eliminates the stair stepping inherent in the additive processes.

Typical Applications
- Functional prototyping before committing to injection molding tooling or high volume machining.
- Custom "one off" projects like jigs and fixtures where only one or maybe a few parts are required.
Get a running start on the fastest prototype plastic parts around by submitting your 3D CAD model to our FirstQuote automated quoting system. You'll get pricing, options, and, if appropriate, suggested changes for improved machinability.
