Built for Robotics Teams
Berkeley robotics teams choose us for rapid prototype turns and production-grade precision — lightweight aluminum chassis, tight-tolerance sensor brackets, and programs saved for weekly research iterations.
Fast Design Iterations
Upload a new version, get a new price instantly. We turn around robotics prototypes in 3 to 7 days so your design loop stays tight.
Programs Saved for Re-Orders
We save your CAM programs and fixture designs. Re-orders ship faster with no re-programming cost or setup fee.
CMM Inspection Included
Every critical bore, mating surface, and mounting pattern is verified before shipping. CMM reports go with every complex order.
No Minimums
Order 1 part or 500. We run robotics from single prototypes to small production runs without artificial minimums or setup fees.
in Berkeley We Can Serve

Robotics & Automation Manufacturing in Berkeley
UC Berkeley's robotics program is among the world's most influential. The Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research (BAIR) lab produces breakthrough work in robotic manipulation, while the Robotic Learning Lab and Automation Sciences Lab develop locomotion, human-robot interaction, and industrial automation systems. These labs generate steady demand for precision-machined actuator housings, gripper jaw assemblies, sensor brackets, and robot chassis structural components. SkyDeck accelerator graduates commercialize Berkeley research into warehouse automation, surgical assistance, agricultural robotics, and delivery platforms.
Siemens operates nearby research facilities focused on industrial automation and digital twin technology, adding corporate robotics demand to the university pipeline. The Emeryville border hosts contract manufacturers supporting robotics prototype builds with PCB assembly, cable harness fabrication, and metal finishing. Downtown Berkeley BART connects robotics teams to South Bay automation companies and East Bay distribution centers deploying warehouse robots. Berkeley robotics startups have a unique advantage — access to world-class AI researchers who can test and validate hardware in campus labs before committing to production.
We machine robotics components for Berkeley teams from research prototype to production. Actuator housings and gripper assemblies in aluminum and stainless. Robot chassis plates and structural members in 7075-T6 for strength-to-weight performance. Sensor mounts and camera brackets with tight positional tolerances. End-effector tool plates that iterate weekly during research sprints. Programs saved so your next revision ships without re-programming. No minimums — we work with research labs ordering a single part and startups scaling to hundreds.
Tips for Robotics & Automation Teams in Berkeley
What engineers buying CNC parts in Berkeley should know.
BAIR lab drives breakthrough robotics research.
UC Berkeley's BAIR lab and Robotic Learning Lab produce cutting-edge manipulation and locomotion hardware. Confirm 5-day prototype turns for actuator mounts and sensor brackets.
SkyDeck robotics startups need dual-purpose parts.
Robotics startups from SkyDeck need functional test units and investor-ready demo hardware. Request cosmetic anodize options alongside standard machined finishes.
Lightweight chassis for mobile robots.
Research-grade robot platforms need 7075-T6 for high-stress structural members and 6061 for non-critical brackets. We machine lightweight chassis plates and sensor mounts.
