Why shops work with us

We bring buyers whose parts fit your shop. The rest you agree with the buyer.

Buyers who fit your shop

Requests are matched to your machines, the materials you run and the order sizes you accept.

Requests you can judge

Each preview shows the part, material, quantity, tolerance and whether it needs simultaneous 5-axis or fits 3+2, so you see the fit before you take the lead.

The customer is yours

You quote, agree terms and deliver to the buyer directly. No commission on the order.

Want help handling overseas buyers, from the first reply to delivery? Email and we will talk it through.

What an RFQ preview looks like

Enough to judge fit and effort before you commit. The buyer's name, company and files are released only after you take the lead.

Every preview says whether the part needs simultaneous 5-axis or fits 3+2, so you do not waste time on work your machines cannot do.

Who qualifies

We keep each list short so buyers get serious quotes and each shop gets requests it can win.

  • 5-axis in daily useAt least one simultaneous or 3+2 machine. Tell us which is which.
  • Continuous toolpathsFor simultaneous work: a CAM system and a programmer who has cut blades, blends or ports before.
  • Small ordersYou accept one-piece and short-run orders without a setup charge that kills the quote.
  • Response timeYou reply to buyers within 48 hours.
  • ConfidentialityYou sign an NDA when the buyer asks for one.
  • Honest quotingYou decline parts you cannot hold rather than quote and miss.

Questions shops ask

Is one RFQ sent to many shops?

No. Each RFQ goes to 3 shops at most, and only to shops whose machines and materials fit the part.

How do the terms work?

We explain them one-to-one before the first request is sent. Use the form on this page or email us.

We only have 3+2 machines. Can we register?

Yes. Many prototype parts are prismatic and fit 3+2 well. Tell us honestly what you run and we match you to those parts only.

Which countries can register?

Any country. Buyers pick a preferred supplier region on the form, so shops in that region see the requests that asked for them.
