First Cut provides real CNC machined parts — FAST. Our subtractive rapid prototyping process combines traditional rapid prototyping with CNC machining to deliver the following advantages:
- Speed — Get CNC machined parts at least as fast as you can get additive rapid prototypes.
- Convenience — First Cut 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 and aluminum — not the "material like" materials used in additive rapid prototyping processes.
- 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.
