01The shop
Eight assemblies, one desk. Turn the ring; scroll the tiles.
Live runs today on the reference machine Built in the code and tested, not yet used for a paying shop Pilot in use with the first outside shops To build planned work, not written
02What the shop gets
Finished programs, never software. Every order returns the same pack.
The shop keeps its machine and its customers. FORG3D keeps the software. What changes hands is a program that has already been proved, checked and practised.
01
Proved STEP
Read back and matched to the design at 0.0001 in.
02
Posted program
For the shop's own control, every uncertain line annotated.
03
Stock-replay check
Every move replayed against the block and graded.
04
Setup sheet
Fixturing guidance and "what the program leaves": Milestone S, built before launch.
05
Inspection and approval sheets
First-article inspection; the shop signs the approval.
06
Practice part
The same part in soft material, PRACTICE on every file.
| Line | What the shop gets | Price | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prove-your-post onboarding | Machine profile, the air-cut kit run on the shop's own control, the control recorded as proved. | $450 one-time | Built |
| Accessory programs | Sights, optic cuts on the customer's slide, sight plates, adapter plates, 1911 grips; sized to the shop's measurements. | $295 average | Built |
| Custom programs | A part from the shop's drawing, description or STEP file; designed or adapted, simplified for the machine, proved and posted. | $650 average | Built |
| Programming-desk retainer | A set number of programs a month, re-posts included, priority, the shop's profile and project on file. | $399 / $1,299 a month | To build |
| Re-post | The same proved program posted for a second proved control. | $95 | Built |
Prices are estimates to test with the first ten shops. Names describe fit only; trademarks belong to their owners; no affiliation.
03How a job runs
Five steps from a shop's request to a program that has already been proved, checked and practised.
Keep scrolling: the stage holds while the five steps play through, then releases.
STEP 01 / 05
Intake
The shop fills the intake card: the request in words, its files, its machine. A new machine runs the onboarding first.
STEP 02 / 05
Design
The desk picks a library class or builds from the file, enters the shop's own measurements, and proves the STEP. Table numbers are never used unchecked.
STEP 03 / 05
Post and check
The planner writes control-neutral moves, the post writes the control's syntax, the checker replays every move against stock. The AI never writes a line.
STEP 04 / 05
Approval
The pack goes to the shop; it signs the approval sheet. Programs are sent setup by setup under the server's own file names.
STEP 05 / 05
First article
The shop runs the practice part, then the real part, and returns the inspection sheet. Cut reports feed “learns your machine” only after a person presses Apply.
What the desk never makes
No frames, receivers, fire-control parts, barrels, gas-system parts, slides made as parts, suppressors, solvent traps or NFA items, and no copies of military technical data. The content screen refuses on every input with no override; counsel words the list and never opens it.
04Proof
The software exists, is tested hard and has one verified control. It has not yet served an outside shop.
Test counts are evidence of discipline, not of fit. Every number here is from the repository's gate of 1 November 2026.

controls verified on hardware
Centroid CNC12 on the reference mill; four posted, unverified
outside shops served so far
The service is launching soon
⚠ Read it plainly
- Only Centroid CNC12 is verified on hardware. The other four control families are posted and unverified until a host shop's air cut.
- No accessory part has been cut yet: the shop trial is pinned by the owner until fixturing guidance is on every setup sheet.
