FORG3DAnnotated, checked G-code

A gunsmith or small shop sends what it wants made and which machine it runs. FORG3D hands back a proved part and a checked program that loads first time on their own mill. The software stays in-house; shops buy the finished program.

Eight assemblies, one desk. Turn the ring; scroll the tiles.

      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.

      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.

      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.
