Post Your Project
Upload your files or describe your idea. The more details you include — materials, dimensions, quantity — the better your quotes will be.
What to Include in Your Project Post
Vendors Respond
Verified manufacturers in our network review your specifications and send human-generated quotes. If they need clarity, they'll ask questions so your quote is accurate and realistic.
Receive & Compare Quotes
You'll see multiple quotes with pricing, lead times, and vendor ratings. Compare bids side-by-side based on price, lead time, and manufacturer experience.
Accept an Offer
Choose the vendor that fits best and approve the offer. Your funds are held securely in escrow until the work is complete — you only pay when you're satisfied.
Work Begins
Funds are securely held until milestones are met. Work begins based on agreed terms. Payments are released only after you confirm the work is delivered.
Secure Payments
Your money is safe until milestones are met.
Tracked Shipping
Major carrier integration for reliable delivery.
Bring It to Life
Work directly with your chosen partner. When you confirm the project is complete, payment is released to the vendor. Simple, secure, done.
Managing Quotes
When reviewing offers, look at:
Price & Lead Time
Compare total cost and how quickly the vendor can deliver.
Vendor Profile
Check experience, reviews, and past projects before deciding.
Value Beyond Cost
Sometimes the best fit isn't the cheapest — consider quality and reliability.
Tips for Successful Collaboration
Share your idea, upload your files, and connect directly with verified manufacturers ready to bring it to life.
Communicate Early
Use the built-in messaging to clarify tolerances and specs before production starts.
Request Samples
For large runs, always order a prototype or "First Article" for verification before full production.
Design for Mfg.
Optimize your CAD files to reduce machining time and material waste — this lowers your cost.
Common Questions
Who is considered a client?+
A client is anyone who posts a project — from arts & crafts to engineering. Clients describe their idea, upload files if needed, and choose a vendor to complete the work.
How do I create a project as a client?+
Log in, go to Create Project, and fill in the details. Describe your idea, upload files, and set a timeline. Verified vendors will then be able to send you quotes.
How does a client choose a vendor after receiving bids?+
Review each vendor's profile, past work, and bid details. Then select the vendor you believe is the best fit for your project.
What happens after a vendor is selected?+
Both parties are notified. Your payment is securely held until the work is completed, and the vendor can begin according to agreed terms.
Are all clients verified?+
Yes. Every client is reviewed by our team before they can post a project. This helps vendors know they're working with real, credible customers.
What if a project isn't completed?+
Funds are only released when both client and vendor confirm the project is complete. If there's an issue, funds remain on hold until resolved.
What happens to my money if a project is canceled?+
Project funds are held securely until both sides confirm completion. If canceled before that, refund rules apply — see our Trust & Safety page.
