CAD Design & Programming Services for Smarter Manufacturing
From Concept to Code — We Bring Your Parts to Life
At ACI Industries, our CAD design and CAM programming services play a critical role in ensuring your parts are machined quickly, accurately, and efficiently. Whether you’re working from a fully dimensioned model or a rough idea, our team can prepare your part for production using industry-standard software and deep manufacturing expertise.
We support customers at every stage — from design-for-manufacturing (DFM) consultation to optimized toolpaths that minimize cycle time and maximize consistency on the shop floor.

Quality Control & In-House Inspection
At ACI Industries, quality is not a final step — it's built into every stage of production. We utilize advanced in-house inspection tools, including Hexagon CMMs, laser tool measurement, and in-process probing systems, to verify that parts meet exact tolerances from prototype to final run. Our inspection lab supports both first-article validation and ongoing production checks, ensuring every component is consistent, precise, and fully documented.
Whether your application calls for tight tolerances, serialized reports, or customer-specific standards, our team is equipped to deliver.
