DarFort Manufacturing facility

What We Build

Capabilities & Services

Four core manufacturing disciplines under one roof — from first-article prototypes to full production runs. Every process backed by in-house inspection.

01

CNC Machining

Tight tolerances. Complex geometry. Any volume.

Our CNC machining center runs 3-axis and 5-axis milling and turning on a full range of metals and engineering plastics. Lights-out production capability supports high-volume runs without sacrificing dimensional accuracy.

Applications

  • Structural brackets
  • Hydraulic manifolds
  • Precision shafts
  • Housings & enclosures
  • Aerospace components

02

3D Scanning

Capture. Inspect. Reverse engineer.

High-resolution structured-light for dimensional inspection, reverse engineering, and first-article verification. We deliver full GD&T reports, deviation color maps, and CAD-ready point clouds.

Applications

  • First-article inspection
  • Reverse engineering
  • Weld distortion analysis
  • Legacy part replication
  • Quality audits

03

Prototyping

From drawing to physical part — fast.

Rapid prototype development from CAD files or 2D drawings. We produce short-run machined, fabricated, and hybrid prototypes with full inspection reporting — supporting design validation, fit checks, and pre-production sign-off.

Applications

  • Design validation
  • Fit & function testing
  • Pre-production samples
  • Engineering change verification
  • Trade show models

04

Additive Manufacturing

Print. Post-process. Deliver.

FDM printing for functional prototypes, tooling aids, and end-use components.

Applications

  • Tooling & fixtures
  • Conformal cooling inserts
  • Lightweight structural parts
  • Complex internal geometries
  • Low-volume end-use parts

Quality

Quality

Every part ships with dimensional data. Our quality system is built around customer-specific requirements and in-process inspection at every critical stage.

First Article Inspection

Full dimensional report on first-off parts per AS9102 or customer-supplied checklist.

Material Traceability

Mill certifications and material certs retained and available on request for every job.

In-Process Inspection

CMM and manual gauging at critical stages — not just final inspection.
