3 Steps to Precision CNC Parts
From CAD file to delivered parts — here's exactly how it works.
Upload Your Design
Drag and drop your CAD file and get an instant analysis. Our system reads your geometry and identifies every feature, tolerance, and potential issue — in seconds.
- Upload STEP, IGES, SolidWorks, Fusion 360, DXF, or PDF files
- Our AI instantly analyzes your geometry and identifies features
- Get real-time DFM feedback — we flag thin walls, deep pockets, and tolerance issues before you order
- No account required to get a quote
- Accepts single parts or full assemblies
Configure & Order
Customize every detail of your order. Choose materials, finishes, quantities, and lead times — and watch the price update in real time as you configure.
- Choose from 50+ materials: aluminum, steel, stainless, titanium, brass, plastics
- Select surface finish: as-machined, anodize, bead blast, powder coat, plating, passivation
- Set quantity (1 to 10,000+) and lead time (3 days rush to 10 days economy)
- See instant pricing that updates as you configure
- Add threads, inserts, inspection requirements, and certifications
- Review your order and check out securely online
We Machine & Ship
Your parts go straight into production in our Union City, CA shop. Every part is inspected, documented, and shipped with tracking. No middlemen. No surprises.
- Your parts go into production in our Union City, CA shop
- CNC milled or turned on modern multi-axis equipment
- Every part CMM inspected — no exceptions
- Full documentation: inspection reports, material certs, certificates of conformance
- Shipped with tracking. Prototypes in 3 days. Production on your schedule.
- 100% made in USA — never brokered, never outsourced
Not Just Another Quote Button
Most online machining platforms are brokers. They take your files, mark up the price, and send your parts to the cheapest available shop. You never know who actually makes your parts.
RivCut
- Parts made in our own shop
- You talk to the actual machinists
- Full traceability from quote to delivery
- Consistent quality — same machines, same team
- Free DFM review on every order
- No hidden fees or surprise upcharges
Typical Online Platform
- Parts brokered to unknown suppliers
- Call center support
- No visibility into who machines your parts
- Quality varies by supplier
- DFM review costs extra or doesn't happen
- Markups and handling fees
Accepted CAD File Formats
Upload your design in any of these formats. STEP is preferred for the most accurate quoting.

Transparent Pricing. No Surprises.
You see your price before you order. It doesn't change after the fact. Here's how our pricing works.
Instant Quotes
Upload your file and get pricing in seconds. No waiting for a human to review your part. Configure materials, finishes, and quantities — the price updates in real time.
Price Locks on Order
The price you see is the price you pay. No surprise charges after you place your order. No hidden fees, no handling charges, no markups added later.
Volume Discounts
Volume discounts are automatically applied as you increase quantity. Simple aluminum parts start around $50–150 for prototypes. Production runs get better per-unit pricing.
What affects pricing: material type, part complexity, tolerances, surface finish, quantity, and lead time. Tighter tolerances and faster turnaround cost more. Standard tolerances and economy lead times keep costs down. Every quote breaks down exactly what you're paying for.
