How Do Robotic & Automation Manufacturers Use Fathom?
Unmatched Breadth of Technologies
We offer more advanced manufacturing technologies than any other contract manufacturer. That enables you to get more of their needs met with one supplier.
Rapid Prototyping
We’re optimized to manage the rapid prototyping needs of our customers. Our expert engineers will help you quickly test, iterate and finalize your part designs for production.
Product Lifecycle Support
We’ll support your needs throughout the product development lifecycle – from early prototypes for design validation and late-stage prototypes as well as bridge production and full production. We specialize in low-volume/high-mix projects – ideal for new platform launches.
Engineering & Design Support
We take a hands-on, white glove approach to DFMs. That helps ensure that all of your potential part design issues are identified and solved early in the process. We’ll help you optimize your part designs, production processes and material selections for the best results, at the best price.
Quality Assurance
At Fathom, our commitment to in-house inspections enables us to turn around parts quickly, including CMM validation, surface inspections and tensile strength testing. In addition, we have a proven ability to comply with our customers’ specific process, material and workmanship standards.
Comprehensive Capabilities for the Robotics & Automation Industries
With a portfolio of 25+ advanced manufacturing technologies, we’re able to provide you with blended solutions that meet your exact requirements. It’s all backed by our white-glove, hands-on service.
Unmatched Additive Expertise
Additive metal technology, such as Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS), is an ideal fit for the rugged yet lightweight needs of the robotics industry. Fathom can also produce parts using additive technologies like FDM, SLS, MJF and STEP.
Urethane Casting
Urethane Casting can be used to produce soft surfaces for end-of-arm tooling that simulate overmolding – without the complex, expensive tooling it requires. Urethane casting can be used to produce prototype parts quickly.
Sheet Metal Fabrication
Fathom can handle your large sheet metal needs as well as the precision forming of small, complex metal components. We also offer photo chemical etching, a process used to produce extremely flat, burr-free parts.
CNC Machining
Our facilities do some of the most advanced, precise CNC machining work in the country, including tough materials like aluminum, titanium and Inconel. Complex machining needs? We can handle it!
