A Matching Service for 5-Axis Prototypes, Not a Machine Shop

We do not own machines and we do not resell parts. We read your RFQ, decide what kind of 5-axis it needs and connect you with up to 3 shops that fit. You deal with them directly.

What it costs buyers

  • BuyersPay nothing to send an RFQ or receive quotes.
  • MatchingEach RFQ goes to 3 shops at most, chosen for the part.
  • The orderIs between you and the shop. We take no commission and never handle payment for parts.

How we screen a shop

"5-axis" on a website can mean a machine that only indexes. Before a shop sees simultaneous work, we check five things.

  1. Machine and control

    Model, control and whether each machine runs simultaneous or 3+2.

  2. Continuous toolpath work

    Examples of blades, blends or ports the shop has actually cut.

  3. Envelope and materials

    Largest part size and the alloys the shop cuts every week.

  4. Small orders

    Whether the shop takes one-piece orders at a sensible setup cost.

  5. Confidentiality

    Willingness to sign an NDA before seeing files.

What we share and when

Shops see a preview first: part type, material, size, quantity, tolerance, region and deadline. No name, company or files. Full details go only to the shops that take the request. Details are in our privacy policy.

What we will not do

  • Mass blastingSend your drawing to more than 3 shops.
  • Mislabel workSend simultaneous parts to a shop that only runs 3+2.
  • Stand in the middleMark up your parts or sit between you and the shop on the order.
  • Sell your detailsAdd you to marketing lists or pass your contact to vendors.
