From idea to reality.

Nashville Prototype takes a rough idea through CAD design, 3D printing, and CNC machining, and turns it into a real part you can use.

Based in Nashville, TN.

Start a project

Services

A parametric 3D model of a machined part open in CAD

CAD Design & Engineering

3D modeling and design-for-manufacturing to take a rough concept to a precise, buildable design.

A 3D printer nozzle laying down orange filament

3D Printing

FDM, SLA, and SLS printing for fast, functional prototypes and low-volume parts.

A CNC spindle cutting into a metal part

CNC Machining

Precision machining for parts that need to hold tolerance and stand up to real use.

A digital caliper measuring an existing metal part

3D Scanning & Reverse Engineering

Have a part but no drawings? We scan it, rebuild it as editable CAD, and improve it from there.

A laser head engraving a metal surface

Laser Cutting & Engraving

Flat parts, panels, jigs, and engraved or marked surfaces in wood, acrylic, and more.

A cutting head slicing shapes out of steel plate

Welding, Sheet Metal & Wood

Bending, welding, and woodworking for the parts a machine alone can't finish.

A batch of identical machined metal components

Low-Volume Production

Short runs once the prototype works and you need ten or a hundred, not one.

A microcontroller wired to a breadboard

Software Integration

Sensors, controls, and the software to make a part actually do something.

How it works

  1. 1

    Tell us about your idea

    Submit the form below with what you're building and where you're stuck.

  2. 2

    We review and reach out

    We read every submission ourselves and reply within 24 hours to set up a call, so we can get the details we need to quote it.

  3. 3

    Quote, then build

    Once we understand the part, you get a price and a plan. Then CAD, printing, or machining, depending on what it needs.

  4. 4

    Iterate

    Refine the design based on testing and feedback.

  5. 5

    Deliver

    You walk away with a working prototype, ready for the next step.
