Precision CNC machining · Tempe / Gilbert, AZ
DAHTO Design and Manufacturing is a precision CNC machine shop serving Tempe, Gilbert, and the East Valley. Bring us a CAD file, a drawing, or just an idea. We handle the design, programming, and machining, with quick turnaround and direct communication from quote to delivery.
01 Services
Bring a finished model or just a concept. Because design and machining happen in the same shop, design intent carries straight through to the finished part, with no hand-offs and nothing lost in translation.
OP 10
No CAD model yet? We turn ideas, sketches, and rough dimensions into clean 3D solid models in Fusion 360, with design-for-manufacturability (DFM) feedback along the way. CAD and CAM live in the same software, so your model goes straight to toolpaths and machining right here in the shop.
OP 20
Toolpaths programmed in Fusion 360 and run on our Tormach 1500MX CNC vertical mill, backed by a Bridgeport manual mill for secondary operations, fixturing, and fast one-off work.
02 Who it's for
From a single prototype to a repeatable run, every job gets the same precision and the same direct line to the shop.
QTY 1
Single parts to prove a concept, check fit and function, or replace something you can't buy anymore. Turned around quickly so your project keeps moving.
QTY SMALL
Consistent, repeatable parts in the quantities you actually need, programmed once and run the same way every time.
QTY 1+
Custom parts for project cars, builds, and one-of-a-kind gear. Makers across the East Valley get the same precision and attention as any other job.
