Precision CNC Routing for Prototypes, Brackets & Short Production Runs
Engineer-Reviewed CNC Routing for Timber, Engineering Plastics, and Thin-Gauge Metals.
Workshop based on the Garden Route. Shipping precision parts nationwide.
Every File Is Reviewed by an Engineer Before It’s Cut — Not Just Run Through a Machine
Most CNC shops hand your file to an operator who nests it and hits go. At PrecisionFab SA, your drawing is reviewed first by the person who owns the machine: an engineer with 35+ years across mechanical maintenance, plant engineering, and installation work, including 13 years as mechanical maintenance superintendent at a Stellenbosch fruit-packing and cold storage operation and site superintendent roles installing boiler and piping systems for breweries.
That background means your file gets checked for the same things a production line has to survive — tolerance stack-up, material behaviour under load, and whether a part will actually fit and function once it’s off the machine, not just look correct on screen.
What We Cut
- Custom mounting plates, brackets, and mechanical sub-assemblies — designed or reverse-engineered from a broken part, a sketch, or a supplied CAD file.
- Engineering plastics: HDPE, Nylon (PA6), Acrylic, Acetal (POM/Delrin), PTFE.
- Timber and sheet goods: MDF, marine plywood, hardwoods, melamine-faced board.
- Thin-gauge aluminium and composite panels for enclosures, guards, and mounting backplates.
Built for Prototypes and Short Runs, Not Factory-Scale Sheet Processing
We’re a precision fabrication workshop, not a production-line panel plant. Our CNC setup is best suited to one-offs, prototype iterations, and short batch runs — the kind of work where an engineer looking closely at your file before it’s cut actually matters. If you need a single working prototype fast, or a repeatable run of 10 to 200 units, that’s exactly where we fit.
- True Nesting for Yield: We optimise material layout to minimise waste and keep your per-unit cost down on repeat runs.
- Toolpath Records Kept on File: Once a part is proven, we keep the toolpath and material spec on record so a reorder is a repeat, not a redesign.
- Direct Engineering Feedback: If a design tweak would make a part stronger or cheaper to produce, you hear about it before we cut — directly from the person doing the work, not a sales layer.
Who We Work With
- Product developers and hardware startups turning a CAD file or a sketch into a working prototype.
- Agricultural workshops and equipment owners needing a replacement bracket or wear part reverse-engineered and cut.
- Automation and electrical contractors needing custom backplates and enclosure panels.
- Cabinet makers and shopfitters with occasional overflow cutting who don’t want to buy and maintain their own machine.
From the Garden Route, Nationwide
Local collection is available for businesses in George, Mossel Bay, Knysna, and Oudtshoorn. Everywhere else in South Africa, parts are carefully packed and shipped via courier.
Get a Quote
Send through a DXF, DWG, STEP file, or even a photo and rough dimensions of what you need reverse-engineered. We’ll review it and come back with a clear quote and, where it’s useful, feedback on the design itself.
Also Available: Small-Batch Manufacturing
Need more than one? We also run low-to-medium volume production — 10 to 500+ units per batch — with your toolpaths and material specs locked in for repeat orders, no factory MOQs or hard tooling costs.
