Precision CNC Parts for IoT Hardware Teams

IoT startups need enclosures and brackets that are precise, rugged, and ready for field deployment. A sensor housing with poor sealing can ruin months of work. We machine aluminum 6061, 5052, and 304 stainless steel to tight tolerances with O-ring grooves, cable gland bosses, and antenna cutouts your design needs. Every part ships with dimensional inspection data so your hardware team can validate fit before committing to volume.

1

IoT-Ready Materials

Aluminum 6061 for general enclosures, 5052 for corrosion resistance, and 304 stainless for harsh environments. Anodized finishes for a professional, durable look.

2

Prototype-Friendly

No minimum order. Machine 1 unit or 1,000. We hold your programs and tooling so scaling up is seamless when your product takes off.

3

Free DFM Review

Every upload gets a design-for-manufacturability check. We flag thin walls, tight radii, and features that could add cost before you commit to machining.

Thermal management

Serving the IoT Startup Ecosystem

The IoT hardware market is booming. Startups are building connected sensors, gateways, and edge devices for agriculture, industrial monitoring, smart buildings, and environmental tracking.

Whether you are pre-seed and machining your first prototype enclosure, or Series B and scaling to 5,000 units per quarter, you need a machining partner who understands startup timelines and iteration speed.

We work with Y Combinator-backed teams, Kickstarter-funded projects, and venture-backed IoT companies across the US. Upload your STEP file and get instant pricing. No sales calls required.

Y Combinator Hardware Companies

YC has backed dozens of IoT startups building connected hardware. These teams need fast prototyping and a clear path to production machining.

Kickstarter / Crowdfunded IoT Projects

Crowdfunded hardware teams need to go from prototype to backer fulfillment fast. We help bridge that gap with scalable CNC machining.

Venture-Backed IoT Companies

Series A and B IoT companies scaling deployments need consistent quality and volume pricing. We hold your tooling and programs for repeat orders.

Hardware Accelerators & Incubators

HAX, Techstars, and other hardware accelerators prepare IoT startups for manufacturing. We support their teams with fast-turn prototyping and DFM guidance.

Built for IoT Startup Teams

Fast iteration, no minimums, and a shop that speaks your language.

No Minimum Order Quantity

Machine a single prototype enclosure or 5,000 production units. We never force you to order more than you need. Start with one, scale when you are ready.

Free DFM on Every Upload

Our engineers review your design before machining and flag features that could add cost or cause fit issues. Most IoT teams iterate 2 to 3 times — we make each cycle faster.

Prototype-to-Production Path

We hold your CNC programs and fixture setups. When you go from 5 prototypes to 500 production units, there is no re-quoting, no re-setup. Just reorder.

Fast Turnaround

Prototypes in 5 to 7 days. Rush orders in 3 to 4 days. Your sprint cycles should not stall because you are waiting on hardware. We keep your team moving.

From CAD File to IoT Hardware in 3 Steps

Simple, fast, and built for startup speed.

Step 1

Upload & Quote

Drop your STEP or IGES file. Select material, quantity, and finish. Our AI gives you a real price instantly. Free DFM review flags any issues before machining starts.

Step 2

We Machine & Inspect

Your enclosures and brackets run on our CNC mills. Every order gets dimensional verification. We check critical features against your drawing before anything ships.

Step 3

Ship to Your Door

Parts ship with inspection data and material certs. Single prototypes or production batches — delivered anywhere in the US. Reorder anytime with one click.

Questions from IoT Hardware Teams

There is no minimum. We machine single prototypes through production batches of 5,000+ units. Most IoT startups begin with 1 to 5 prototypes, then scale to 50 to 500 units as they validate.
Aluminum 6061-T6 is the most popular choice. It machines well, anodizes cleanly, and provides good RF shielding. For outdoor or corrosive environments, 304 stainless steel or 5052 aluminum with hard anodize works well.
Yes. We machine O-ring grooves, gasket channels, and sealed cable gland bosses to the tolerances required for IP65 and IP67 ratings. We recommend Parker or AS568 standard O-ring groove dimensions.
Most IoT prototype enclosures ship in 5 to 7 business days. Simple sensor cases and mounting plates can ship in 3 to 4 days on a rush basis. Upload your STEP file and tell us your deadline.
Yes. Every quote includes a free DFM review. We flag thin walls, deep pockets, tight internal corners, and features that could add cost. Many IoT startups iterate 2 to 3 times before locking their design.
We machine antenna cutouts, thin-wall windows, and connector pass-throughs. For RF-transparent windows, we recommend designing a pocket that accepts a molded or 3D-printed RF window insert.
We offer as-machined, bead blast, anodize Type II (clear or colored), hard anodize Type III, powder coat, and passivation for stainless steel. Most IoT startups choose bead blast plus anodize for a clean look.
Yes. We hold your tooling and programs so scaling from prototype to production is seamless. Pricing per unit drops as quantity increases. Upload your file and select your target quantity for volume pricing.
