Where parts meet machines.
It works both ways: buyers post the parts they need, and fabricators with the right machines bid for the work. Capability-tag matching cuts the noise, NDAs protect sensitive designs, and escrow protects both sides. Posting jobs and accepting bids is free. Bidding as a fabricator needs a Business subscription ($50/mo (AUD)), so the people quoting you are running real shops, and the bid you accept is the price you pay.
For buyers
Need a part made? Post it. Pick a quote. Done.
- 1
Post
Tell us the title, description, materials, deadline, your budget. Attach drawings or photos. Need an NDA? Tick the box and upload it.
- 2
Receive bids
Fabricators with matching capabilities see your post and quote. You see their bid amount, lead time, message, and any sample files they attached.
- 3
Pick one
Accept the bid you like. All other bids are auto-declined. The request goes to "awarded".
- 4
Pay into escrow
Stripe holds the money. The fabricator builds and ships.
- 5
Receive + release
Confirm you got the part. We release the funds. Done.

Per-bid messaging with the buyer. Sort out specifics before they accept.
- 6
Get paid
When the buyer marks received, the funds land in your Stripe account, minus our 5% on the awarded amount. Bake our cut into your bids so customers see one transparent number.
Built for fairness
Marketplaces only work when both sides feel protected. Ours has the rules baked in.
NDA gate
Sensitive design? Buyer requires fabricators sign an NDA before they can see the files. Signature evidence trail with legal name, UTC timestamp, IP address.
Escrow payments
Buyer pays into Stripe escrow on accept. We hold it. Fabricator builds. Buyer marks received. We release. Either side gets a clear dispute path before release.
Atomic accept
When the buyer accepts a bid, all other bids on that request are auto-declined and the request flips to awarded. No double-awarding, no confusion.
Withdraw cleanly
Fabricators can withdraw a bid any time before acceptance. Buyers can close a request without awarding if nothing fits.
Bid privacy
Competing fabricators cannot see what each other quoted. Race-to-the-bottom isn't how good shops should win work.
Capability matching
We only surface a request to fabricators whose tags match the work. Less spam for everyone.
Fees
Simple. Free for buyers, Business plan for fabricators.
No platform fee on top of the bid. No subscription required to post or accept bids. The number a fabricator quotes is the number you pay (plus Stripe's card-processing cut, set by Stripe).
Business subscription is required to browse + bid as a fabricator ($50/mo (AUD), unlocks the marketplace + Stripe Connect payouts + stock / jobs / clients / estimates / suppliers / stock-takes). On completed deals we keep 5% of the awarded amount when escrow releases. Bake our cut into your bid pricing so customers see one clean number.
Stripe processing fee for the buyer's card payment is separate and set by Stripe (1.75% + 30c for Australian cards as of 2026). We don't add to it.
Free to sign up. Free to post jobs as a buyer.
No card needed up front. Just an email.
