Making sci-fi into reality!
Truly a magical place. If you're in hardware and need a place to build in America you should DM Merle now

At Prickly Pear Prototypes 🌵 we’ve been ITAR compliant for a while—supporting defense, aerospace, robotics & med-device work. Fast quotes. Tight tolerances. Secure machining—Texas style 🤠⚙️ Do y’all see ITAR as opportunity or just red tape?
Need parts fast? 🤠 Click the link in our bio, fill out a quick form, and get your quote faster than ordering BBQ in Texas. Whether you’re just planning, comparing, or ready to order, we’ve got you! #machining #engineering #procurement #manufacturing #madeintexas
Swung by Proto-Town last week 🤠—it’s like a rodeo where the bulls are robots and the cowboys carry CAD files. These folks are turnin’ sci-fi into hardware faster than you can say “warp drive, y’all.” 🚀🔧🌵
We will finish what Howard Hughes started. American greatness shall be restored. 🔥 🇺🇸 🦅

hot take: engineers who've never worked in production shouldn't be allowed to specify manufacturing processes armchair manufacturing expertise leads to impossible designs and unrealistic timelines. spend a week on the shop floor before you decide how parts should be made...
Everyone’s talkin’ automation, AI, and lights-out factories… but without apprenticeships, who’s gonna understand the machines when they break? 🤠⚙️ Is the future of manufacturing being built on real skills—or just hope the software don’t crash?
We’ve quoted over 451 parts, no job’s too odd! Have a part you need quoted? Fill out our RFQ form from our link in bio! #manufacturing #cncmaching #usa #texas
america runs on metals $300B+ spent per year
That radius smoother than a two-steppin’ liar at a Texas dancehall. No hand deburrin’. Just good CAM and sharp tools. #CNCmachining #RadiusSoClean #TexasMade #prototype #machinist
Thin part? No problem. We hold tight and cut clean — even when the material’s skinnier than a blade of bluegrass. Need something tricky machined? Hit the RFQ link in our bio! #PrototypeMachining #cncmachining #MadeInTexas #RFQUs
By the time most folks finish fiddlin’ with their spreadsheet, we’ve quoted it, cut it, and boxed it up like a rattler on the run. How fast do your current suppliers get back to you? #RealMachineShop #NotASaaS #TexasMade #RFQUs
Good morning. Today is a great day to start a manufacturing company in the US. Go for it
These cutters are so sharp the deburring tools filed an HR complaint! Handle with care. Or don’t — your blood, your burrs. #CNCmachining #SharpEnoughToJudgeYou #MadeInTexas
Toolpath Labs just sent us a care package that’d make a grown machinist tear up. 🥹✨ Fresh cutters, meaner chips, and prototypes faster than a jackrabbit on jet fuel. 🛠️🐇💨 Appreciate y’all keepin’ Prickly Pear Prototypes locked, loaded, and cuttin’ clean. 🤠 #CNC #Machining
America does not have labor shortages, it has training shortages Those who are willing (and able) to pay for good people can find them
