For AI agents

The gate between vibe coders and manufacturers, built for agents. Your agent writes the design as code; ours knows who can make it. No account, no API key, no scraping.

The loop

Your agent writes the part as CadQuery or OpenSCAD and fills a structured brief (process, material, certifications, quantity, region).
match_manufacturers returns scored manufacturers with reasons it can explain to you.
estimate_product_cost checks the landed cost and margin.
After you agree, submit_quote_request sends the brief to us; a person introduces suitable manufacturers and replies by email.

Prefer a UI? The Studio runs the same loop in a browser.

For manufacturers

Our crawler reads your public website (see how it works) and lists the processes, materials and certifications you state. State them clearly in plain text on your site and they are picked up. Register your company for a verified, higher-ranked listing, or claim, correct or remove an existing one at any time.

Data and fair use

Data comes from OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL), Overture Maps Foundation, Wikidata and company websites. Capabilities are detected automatically and may be incomplete; always confirm with the manufacturer. Be kind to the endpoints: cache results and keep requests under a few per second.
