EZCNCEZCNC service guide
CNC Prototype and Short-Run Part Cutting
EZCNC supports one-off prototypes and short production runs when the part can be represented as supported 2D sheet-material geometry. The same guided process is used for a single trial part and later repeat quantities.

How it works
A clear path from design to production
- 1
Start with one controlled design
Upload the exact DXF version to be quoted and confirm its units and finished dimensions before selecting production choices.
- 2
Make operations explicit
Use the machining map to identify supported through cuts, holes, pockets and engraving rather than relying on unexplained drawing conventions.
- 3
Price the intended quantity
The one-part production price is multiplied by quantity and the configured volume discount is applied where applicable.
- 4
Revise with traceability
When the CAD changes, upload the revised design as a new quoted part so geometry, selections and pricing stay connected to that revision.
Questions customers ask
Frequently asked questions
Can I order only one prototype part?
Yes. The guided quote supports a quantity of one, subject to the configured minimum production subtotal and any manual-review requirements.
Does changing quantity change the production price?
Yes. Quantity multiplies the one-part production price, after which the configured quantity discount is applied. It does not silently substitute full-sheet pricing.
What happens if the prototype requires an unsupported feature?
The file can be submitted for EZCNC review. A staff member can clarify the requirement before the work proceeds rather than allowing an unreliable automatic quote.
