When your internal team is at capacity.
NxtGen provides experienced shop floor capacity when the work is already in the building and your team needs help getting it through.
Your programmer is buried.
Send us overflow parts instead of delaying production.
You've won a job that needs additional experience.
Bring us in for programming, tooling, workholding and process support.
The job is running, but it isn't making money.
We can review the complete machining process, not just the CAM file.
You need another process engineer, but not another permanent employee.
Use NxtGen for the project, backlog or production requirement in front of you.
RFQs are waiting while your engineering team is busy.
We can support process planning, cycle-time estimating and technical quotation review.
The setup is slowing the job down.
We design workholding around the complete machining process.

Additional NxtGen capabilities
The engineer you speak to is the engineer working on the problem.
NxtGen MFG is led by Mark Hyde CEng, a Chartered Engineer with more than 25 years across CNC machining, process engineering and advanced production methods.
His background spans aerospace, defence, nuclear and precision machining, including programmes involving Rolls-Royce, Airbus and Siemens.
Experience includes multi-axis CNC programming, process engineering, tooling, workholding, process development, applications engineering and production leadership.
When you bring NxtGen a shop floor problem, you deal directly with the engineer responsible for solving it.
Broader engineering capability.
NxtGen also develops production software, automation and engineered products. These capabilities support our engineering work but are not required to engage us for CNC programming or engineering support.

Straight answers.
What does NxtGen MFG actually do?
We provide contract CNC programming, process engineering support, workholding and fixture design, in-house additive manufacturing, and short-term or on-site engineering support for US machine shops and manufacturers. One job or ongoing support.
Do you run your own machine shop?
NxtGen does not operate a conventional CNC job shop. We do operate in-house additive capacity for prototypes, tooling, fixtures and production polymer components. CNC machining and specialist inspection are managed through our qualified partner network, with NxtGen responsible for the engineering, specification and agreed quality requirements.
Do you have any production capacity of your own?
Yes, for additive. We run six in-house FDM printers, including a Stratasys Fortus 450mc and F170, for functional prototypes, jigs, fixtures, tooling and low-volume polymer production parts. Stratasys Fortus 450mc.
Do you work remotely or on-site?
Both. Programming and process work is delivered remotely for shops nationwide, and we come on-site when the job needs someone at the machine.
What CAM systems do you program in?
Mastercam is our preferred system, and we also program in HyperMill, Fusion 360 and EdgeCAM. We design in SolidWorks and Siemens NX. Mastercam.
Can we send you a single job, or do you need a contract?
A single job is fine. Most shops start with one component or one backlog, then use us again when capacity gets tight.
Is NxtGen MFG part of another company?
No. NxtGen MFG LLC is an independent, US-owned company based in Winter Garden, Florida.
Can you work on ITAR or export-controlled parts?
NxtGen MFG is US-based. We are happy to sign NDAs and discuss applicable data-handling and export-control requirements before sensitive technical information is shared. US Directorate of Defense Trade Controls.
