Where parts meet machines.
Buyers post the parts they need. Fabricators with the right machines bid for the work. Capability matching cuts the noise, NDAs protect sensitive designs, and escrow protects both sides. Posting jobs is free. Fabricator bidding requires a Business subscription, so the people quoting are running real shops. The price you accept is the price you pay.

Built for fairness
Marketplaces only work when both sides feel protected. Ours has the rules baked in.
NDA Gate
Sensitive design? Buyers can require fabricators to sign an NDA before viewing the files. Signature evidence includes legal name, UTC timestamp, and IP address.
Escrow Payments
Buyer pays into Stripe escrow when accepting a bid. Fabricator builds. Buyer marks the job received. Funds are released. Clear dispute resolution exists before any release.
Atomic Accept
When a buyer accepts a bid, all other bids are automatically declined and the request is awarded. No double-awards. No confusion.
Withdraw Cleanly
Fabricators can withdraw bids anytime before acceptance. Buyers can close a request without awarding if no bid is suitable.
Bid privacy
Competing fabricators cannot see what each other quoted. Race-to-the-bottom isn't how good shops should win work.
Capability matching
Requests are only shown to fabricators whose capabilities match the work. Less spam for everyone.
Fees
Simple. Free for buyers, Business plan for fabricators.
Post jobs for free. Accept quotes for free. The price quoted by the fabricator is the price you pay.
A Business subscription ($50/mo AUD) is required to browse and bid on marketplace work. Completed jobs incur a 5% marketplace fee. Build that fee into your quote so customers see one transparent price.
Free to sign up. Free to post jobs as a buyer.
No card needed up front. Just an email.
