Stafford, TX — Precision CNC Manufacturing

WE MAKE HARD PARTS.
EXACTLY.

From impossible geometries to exotic superalloys—prototype through production. Our parts operate in space, at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, and everywhere the stakes are highest.

// Our Philosophy

FROM IMPOSSIBLE
TO PROTOTYPE

Most shops see a challenging drawing and quote it high to make it go away. We see it and get excited. Protogeometrics exists for the projects other shops won’t touch—the exotic materials, the impossible tolerances, the geometries that demand creative problem-solving.

We collaborate directly with engineering teams, offering iterative component design support and leveraging AI generative design to optimize parts before the first chip flies. Every project gets the kind of attention that turns a drawing into a work of precision art.

We protect your intellectual property with rigorous digital security protocols, because trust is machined into everything we do.

// What We Do

CAPABILITIES

Full-service precision manufacturing from concept through production, backed by advanced metrology and relentless quality control.

◆

5-AXIS CNC MILLING

Complex geometries, compound angles, and contoured surfaces machined in a single setup. Undercuts, deep pockets, and sculptural forms that 3-axis can’t reach.

◆

PRECISION CNC TURNING

Tight-tolerance shafts, bores, threads, and rotational components. Live tooling for cross-drilling and off-axis features without re-fixturing.

◆

EXOTIC ALLOYS

Titanium, Inconel 718, exotic superalloys, copper alloys, PEEK, Ertalyte, and everything in between. We know the feeds, speeds, and strategies that tame difficult materials.

◆

ITERATIVE DESIGN SUPPORT

We collaborate with your engineering team from concept through production. AI generative design optimization. DFM feedback before the first cut.

◆

CONTRACT INSPECTION

Zeiss O-INSPECT CMM and precision measurement services available on contract. Dimensional verification you can trust for your most critical components.

◆

PROTOTYPE TO PRODUCTION

Single prototypes to production runs. Same precision, same process control, same obsessive attention whether we’re making one or one hundred.

// Design for Manufacturability

BETTER PARTS
BEFORE THE FIRST CUT

The cheapest place to fix a part is on the print. Our DFM review catches cost drivers, tolerance traps, and manufacturability risks before material ever hits a spindle—so you get a better part, faster, for less.

Print & Tolerance Review

We flag over-toleranced features, inspection bottlenecks, and GD&T that costs money without adding function—then propose alternatives that preserve design intent.

◆

Material & Process Guidance

Alloy substitutions, finish alternatives, and process routing informed by real cutting data across titanium, Inconel, and exotic superalloys.

◆

AI Generative Design

Generative optimization consultation that reduces mass, consolidates assemblies, and unlocks geometries conventional design workflows miss.

◆

Cost-Per-Part Reduction

Small design changes—corner radii, thread depths, datum strategy—often cut cycle time dramatically. We tell you which ones, and why.

// About Protogeometrics

BUILT BY A MACHINIST,
FOR MACHINISTS

Protogeometrics is a precision CNC manufacturing company in Stafford, Texas, founded on a simple belief: the hardest parts deserve the most care. We specialize in the work other shops avoid—exotic superalloys, sub-tenths tolerances, and geometries that push the limits of what’s machinable.

From single prototypes to production quantities, we bring the same obsessive precision to every job. Our parts are operating in orbit, resting on the ocean floor, and performing in critical applications across defense, energy, and research.

We don’t just make parts. We solve manufacturing problems.
