// FAQ
Common questions about CNC Machining in Naperville, IL.
Do you work with procurement teams at large Naperville OEMs, or only smaller companies?
Both. Our certified partner network is structured to handle volume releases from large OEMs like Mitsubishi Electric and Nalco Water, as well as prototype and bridge production runs for mid-size Tier 2 suppliers in the I-88 corridor. We’re built to scale with your PO structure.
Is your partner network ITAR-registered? There’s significant defense work in the Naperville area.
Yes. Our partner shops are ITAR-registered and experienced with defense electronics and systems components — relevant for contractors and subcontractors supporting programs tied to the greater Chicago and Aurora defense ecosystem.
What materials do you machine most often for industrial automation customers in Naperville?
6061 and 7075 aluminum are the most common for housings and frames. We also run 303 and 316 stainless, 4140 steel, and engineering plastics like Delrin and PEEK for automation applications. If your BOM includes an exotic alloy, ask — our partner network handles it.
How fast can I get a quote for a multi-part assembly for an industrial equipment program?
24 hours. Upload your CAD files and GD&T drawings at nimblemfg.co or email quote@nimblemfg.co. Every quote includes a free DFM review — if we catch something that affects machinability or cost, we flag it before you commit.
Can Nimble support ongoing production releases, not just one-off prototypes, for Naperville-area OEMs?
Yes. We’re structured as a contract manufacturing partner, not a job shop. That means we can support scheduled blanket releases, repeat production orders, and supply chain programs that require consistent quality, CMM documentation, and FAI on first articles — not just one-time prototype runs.
