From CAD to Custom Aluminum Part in Days: A Real-World Fuel Pump Mod

Design It. Upload It. Get It Machined.

At Rapid CNC Parts.com, we believe precision parts shouldn't be a luxury—they should be fast, affordable, and available to anyone with a great idea.

In this post, we’re showing a real-world example: a small custom aluminum part designed to modify a fuel pump. With a simple 3D CAD model and our streamlined instant quoting system, this customer turned an idea into a precision-machined part—delivered in just a few days.

🔧 The Power of Simple, Machinable CAD

This part was designed using clean, basic geometry—no complex features, exotic materials, or oddball tooling required. By sticking to our Design Guidelines, the model was optimized for rapid production using standard endmills and work holding setups.

Simple design = lower cost

Highly machinable 6061 aluminum

Precision fit for real-world application

Fast turnaround with no order minimums

This kind of design is ideal for makers, fabricators, and engineers working on one-off mods, custom assemblies, or small-batch projects.

🛠️ Rapid CNC Parts for Real Projects

Whether you're tuning a performance vehicle, building a prototype, or just solving a frustrating hardware issue, custom machined parts can unlock real-world results. But traditionally, getting a part machined meant calling shops, waiting on quotes, and hoping your design was “shop-friendly.”

Not anymore.

At Rapid CNC Parts.com, our online quoting platform gives you instant pricing and clear manufacturability feedback based on your uploaded CAD file. If your part fits inside our 6" cube working envelope and uses standard features, chances are good you’ll get a quote in seconds—and a finished part in days.
