SHOP FLOOR CAM

Remote support for machine shops, manufacturers, and hardware startups

Remote CNC Programming
& NPI Process Support

I help overloaded shops turn models and drawings into usable CAM packages, setup plans, tooling direction, and floor-ready documentation.

Services

What I take off your plate

CNC programming support
Milling programs built from your models and prints, delivered with the information the floor needs to run them.
Mastercam, Fusion 360 & Inventor CAM
Work delivered in the system you already run, so your programmers can open it, check it, and own it.
DFM & RFQ review
Manufacturability feedback before you quote or release — tolerances, features, and callouts that will cost you.
Setup sheets & process planning
Op-by-op process, stock, workholding, and setup documentation your operators can actually follow.
Tooling & workholding review
Tool selection and fixturing direction that fits your machines and what's already in your crib.
NPI & prove-out support
Support through first runs and first-part buyoff, so new parts stop stalling on the floor.
CAM workflow cleanup
Straightening out messy libraries, templates, and file habits so programming stops being the bottleneck.

Packages

Three ways to work with me

DFM / RFQ Review

Manufacturability feedback before you commit

For hardware startups, engineers, and shops that need a manufacturing read on drawings and models before quoting or releasing work. You get straight answers about what will machine well, what won't, and what it will cost you to ignore.

CNC Programming Rescue Package

Programming help when the queue is full

For overloaded shops that need drawings and models turned into CAM packages, setup direction, and floor-ready documentation. You keep your machines running; I handle the programming backlog.

Monthly Shop Support Retainer

Recurring support without the headcount

For shops that need ongoing programming, DFM, quote review, or NPI process support but can't justify a full-time hire. A set amount of my time each month, pointed at whatever is holding up your floor.

About

One person, sixteen years on the manufacturing side

I've spent 16 years in metal manufacturing, 14 of them in machine shop environments. The work has covered CNC programming, NPI support, fixture and process development, first-part buyoff, and GD&T-driven manufacturing requirements — along with the less glamorous job of keeping programming, machining, quality, engineering, and production talking to each other.

Shop Floor CAM isn't an agency. It's one experienced manufacturing person doing the programming and process work your shop needs done, remotely, with documentation your floor can use.

Why it matters

"The program is done" is not the finish line

There's a gap between a finished program and a part that runs correctly on the floor. That gap is where shops lose time, money, and trust: vague setups, missing tooling information, prove-outs that drag on, operators guessing at intent, and quality catching problems that should have been caught at the desk.

My job is to close that gap. Not just toolpaths, but the setup plans, tooling direction, and documentation that let your people run the part without chasing down answers.

Notes — Scope of Work

Programs and NC output are provided for customer review, simulation, and controlled prove-out. Final machine validation, offsets, fixturing, post suitability, and first-article approval remain the responsibility of the customer's qualified onsite team.
