Trusted by Engineers at Leading Industrial Robot Manufacturers, Cobot Developers, Autonomous Driving Companies, and Fortune 500 Technology Firms — From Rapid Prototype to Production Supply.
CipherFab works with industrial robot manufacturers, collaborative robot (cobot) developers, autonomous driving companies, and drone manufacturers to simplify their supply chains and dynamically scale manufacturing capacity. Our digital platform gives engineering and procurement teams instant access to ISO 9001:2015-certified CNC machining, 3D printing, sheet metal fabrication, tube manufacturing, and injection moulding — with ITAR compliance, full material traceability, DFM feedback on every upload, and expert engineering review on every order.
What We Manufacture
- Precision structural frames, base plates, and chassis for industrial robots, cobots, and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs)
- End effectors, gripper housings, tool changers, and wrist components machined to tight tolerances for motion-critical interfaces
- Actuator housings, gearbox covers, motor mounts, and servo brackets for rotary and linear drive systems
- Sensor housings, LiDAR brackets, camera mounts, and connector enclosures for autonomous driving and drone platforms
- Rapid prototyping and pilot production for new robot platform development — design iteration from CAD to physical hardware in days
- Low-volume prototype, pilot, and short-term production support — injection moulding, urethane casting, and small-part stampings
- Production parts supply — bridge tooling, low-to-medium volume tooling, and service parts using new or existing tooling
- Plant-floor manufacturing support — custom assembly fixtures, equipment jigs, check fixtures, and part-check details for robot integration lines
Manufacturing Capabilities
- CNC Machining — 3-axis and 4-axis milling and turning in aluminium 6061/7075, stainless 303/304/316, titanium Ti-6Al-4V, PEEK, and Delrin; ±0.005″ standard, ±0.001″ on critical bearing seats and actuator interfaces
- 3D Printing — FDM in ULTEM 9085 and Nylon 12 CF; SLS and MJF in PA12 for functional enclosures; DMLS in AlSi10Mg and 316L for complex metal housings
- Sheet Metal Fabrication — Laser cutting, press brake bending, and welding in aluminium, stainless, and mild steel for base structures, control enclosures, and safety guarding
- Injection Moulding — Prototype aluminium and production steel tooling for housing covers, connector boots, cable strain reliefs, and high-volume enclosures in ABS, PC, PA-GF, and PEEK
- Tube Fabrication — Laser tube cutting and rotary draw bending in aluminium and stainless 304/316 for structural frames, gantry systems, and fluid routing
Quality Assurance
Every robotics and automation order on CipherFab includes:

Why CipherFab for Robotics & Automation
Robotics development demands fast design iteration and production-grade precision from the same supply chain — and most manufacturing platforms are built for one or the other, not both. A cobot wrist component needs to be iterated three times in a week during kinematic validation, then produced to ±0.001″ bearing seat tolerances at volume when the platform launches. CipherFab consolidates CNC machining, additive manufacturing, sheet metal fabrication, tube manufacturing, and injection moulding under a single platform and a single point of contact — with instant quotes, DFM feedback, and lead times from 1 day for prototype iterations through to PPAP-ready production supply for serialised robot builds. Whether you are sourcing a single prototype actuator housing, managing a complex multi-process BOM for a new AMR platform, or scaling production supply for a cobot reaching volume manufacturing, CipherFab gives your engineering and procurement team the speed, precision, and supply chain flexibility that robotics development demands.
