First Cut® - From 3D CAD to real parts in as fast as one business day

First Cut®, a Proto Labs service, is the world’s fastest source for custom CNC machined parts. The company fills a unique niche in the manufacturing of plastic and aluminum parts. Proto Labs uses a combination of advanced, proprietary software and sophisticated equipment to produce prototype parts with real materials, incredible convenience and great value.

First Cut CNC machining service is not only great for prototypes, but is great for functional testing, fixtures, jigs, “one-off” projects, or offloading internal machining resources. Choose from over 30 different materials including ABS, Nylon, PC, Delrin, PEEK, ULTEM, and aluminum. You get real material properties and improved surface finishes – FAST!

First Cut’s process automation begins with online quoting. The company’s automated quoting system accepts customers’ 3D CAD models and returns a detailed FirstQuote® interactive quote (along with suggested design changes, if appropriate) typically within hours of your 3D CAD upload. Customers can interact freely with FirstQuote, changing material selections, and getting adjusted piece-part pricing as they do so. Once a design is ready and the customer approved quote, parts can be completed and shipped as fast as the next business day.

While First Cut automates many of its processes, the company provides accessible, live customer support before, during, and after an order is placed. First Cut now has fully operational manufacturing facilities, sales, customer service staff in the US, UK and Japan.
