Industry
Robotics and automation manufacturing partners
Robotics and automation projects live or die on iteration speed and precise motion parts. Find independent machine shops set up to take a bracket, gear, or end-effector from prototype to production, then talk directly to the shop making your part.

Trust
Certifications and standards that matter
Robotics work is less certification-gated than aerospace or medical. The differentiator is iteration speed and precision, so weigh quick-turn capacity and inspection ability alongside the shop quality system.
ISO 9001
The general quality management baseline. On robotics and automation parts it is the certification most worth confirming, and it signals a documented, repeatable process from prototype through production.
AS9100
The aerospace quality standard, built on ISO 9001. Useful if your robotics or automation hardware also serves aerospace, defense, or other regulated programs and needs the extra traceability.
Prototyping & quick-turn capacity
Not a certification, but the real differentiator for robotics. Look for shops that quote single prototypes and short-lead iterations so you can revise motion parts between design cycles.
CMM & first-article inspection
In-house CMM and first-article (FAI) capability that verifies critical dimensions on gears, shafts, and bearing bores where fit and motion depend on tight tolerances.

Why OpenSpindle
Built for robotics & automation buyers
Talk directly to the shop
No account manager in the middle. You work with the shop actually making your part, which matters when a motion component needs a real engineering conversation about fit and tolerance.
No sales gate
Upload a drawing and request quotes without a sales rep or account manager in the middle. Faster than the login-walled portals when you are iterating on a design.
Fast prototype to production
Robotics moves in revisions. Find shops set up for quick-turn prototypes and short-lead iterations, then scale the same part to production without switching suppliers.
Compare multiple shops
See several independent shops with the equipment your part needs, and compare quotes and lead times rather than taking a single price.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Independent shops routinely quote single prototypes and short-lead iterations, which is the normal cadence for robotics and automation work. Note your quantity and target date in the request, and expect a setup charge on one-offs that drops on repeat orders.
