How it works
Send your drawings
Upload drawings or 3D models, name the material and give a quantity per order. One form covers the whole product, even if its parts need different processes.
We split it by process and match
We read the files, list the processes the product needs and pick up to 3 manufacturers whose equipment, materials and order size fit.
Manufacturers quote you directly
The matched manufacturers contact you with questions and quotes. You compare, negotiate and place the order with the one you choose.
Why send it here
One brief for several processes
A product with a machined housing, a molded cover and a sheet metal bracket usually means three supplier searches. Here you send it once and we route each part to a manufacturer that runs that process.
We read the drawing before anyone else does
Process, material, critical tolerances and yearly volume decide which factory can make a part at a sane price. We check those four against each manufacturer before we send anything.
Your files go to 3 companies at most
We do not post your drawings to an open board. Manufacturers first see a short preview without your name or files. Only the matched ones receive the full package.
Processes we match
Most OEM products are made by more than one process. These are the eight we match most projects to.
CNC machining
Metal and plastic parts with tight tolerances, from one-off prototypes to a few thousand pieces.
Sheet metal fabrication
Enclosures, brackets, panels and frames cut, bent and welded from sheet.
Injection molding
Plastic parts needed in the thousands with the same shape every time.
Die casting
Aluminum or zinc housings and structural parts with thin walls at volume.
Metal stamping
Flat or formed sheet parts in high volume: clips, terminals, shields, brackets.
Aluminum extrusion
Long parts with a constant cross-section: heat sinks, rails, frames, housings.
Welding and fabrication
Frames, bases, tanks and structures built from plate, tube and section.
Assembly and box build
Finished sub-assemblies or products built from made and bought parts, tested and packed.

Early stage
You can still send the RFQ. Expect questions first and budget prices rather than firm quotes.
Send my RFQWhat drives the price of an OEM part
- Tooling
- Molds, dies and fixtures are paid once. They weigh heavily on small orders and almost vanish on large ones.
- Material
- Grade, form and how much of it ends up as scrap.
- Machine and cycle time
- Seconds per molded part, minutes per machined part. This is where design changes save the most.
- Tolerances and inspection
- Each tight dimension adds measuring time and scrap risk. Tighten only what the function needs.
- Finish
- Anodizing, plating, painting and texture are often done outside the factory and add lead time.
- Order quantity
- Setup cost is shared across the batch. A realistic yearly volume gets a better unit price than a single small order.

For manufacturers
Do you make parts or assemblies to customer drawings? Register your processes and capacity. We send you previews of projects that fit your factory.
Questions buyers and manufacturers ask
Is this free for buyers?
Yes. You pay nothing to send an RFQ or to receive quotes. Manufacturers pay us for the matched projects they choose to receive. Price, terms and delivery are agreed between you and the manufacturer.
Who sees my drawings?
Manufacturers first see a short preview: process, material, quantity and tolerance. It has no name, no company and no files. Your contact details and files go only to the manufacturers we match, up to 3. If you ask for an NDA, we hold the files until it is signed.
Do you manufacture parts yourselves, and where are the factories?
No. We are a matching service, not a factory. The manufacturers that quote you run the equipment and you order from them. You pick a preferred region on the RFQ form, or leave it open and we match on fit alone.
Which factories can register?
Any factory that makes parts or assemblies to customer drawings and can quote in English. Tell us your processes, main equipment, materials and usual order size so we only send projects that fit.
How do RFQs reach us, and what does it cost?
We send a preview of each project that fits your profile. You decide whether you want it. There is a fee for the projects you choose to receive, shown with each preview before you decide. Each project goes to 3 manufacturers at most.
