partZpro® | Virtual Factory

"The best service and quality for the right price! Really professional and always trying to help the customer! Definitely great!" - Daniel Climber

"Accurate delivery times and fast service. I have been very satisfied with the parts that I have purchased." - Tony Lazaro

"Excellent service and fast turnaround at a competitive price. Items were delivered to our office in New Zealand within 1 month of placing the order, and all parts were within design tolerances." - Corben Taylor

"Great platform for CNC Machining. I ordered some parts to be CNC machined in Aluminum 6082 for a prototype build I am working on. Drawing was finished Tuesday, January 5th, and sent to my regular machining shops nearby. This time I also uploaded a STEP file of the design to partZpro to test their system after finding them on the internet. On January 6th, I received a quote for shipping and manufacturing. I was surprised by the easy process on their website and ordered the parts to test it out. A few days later, I sent an address update to sales to add some information for transport. Unbelievably, on the morning of Monday, January 11th, DHL was at my doorstep delivering the parts. Shipping had the updated information. We are talking about less than 4 working days, delivered from the other side of the world, and that's before my nearby shops had even responded with their quote and lead time. The parts delivered were a perfect fit, better than specified tolerance, and had a great surface finish. I will definitely look into this service when I need parts next time." - Rune Kvamme

"I recently used PartZPro for a prototype to be made from a 3D file into aluminum. I'm super happy I did. Cost was a fraction of its competitors' and turnaround was about a month, during holidays. Parts were very accurate and now my prototype is one step closer to being finalized. Will most definitely use again." - Matt Faxon

"Response time is incredibly fast. I am impressed, and it adds to their credibility. Will do business with them again ASAP." - Mark Scallan

"Great job on products that I have ordered." - ASG Astrology

"Great service, pricing, and speed." - Paul Murtagh

"Parts are always made to your design specifications. Reasonable prices and fast turnaround." - Dennis Tang

"A very prompt quotation and efficient processing of our order. CNC machining was executed exactly as requested. Delivery was pretty fast, even faster than quoted." - Andre Dussault

How Our Manufacturing Platform Works?

Step 01

Upload Your Design in Seconds

Secure, Instant Parsing.
Experience instant feedback with our high-performance stack, built on the same C++ architecture used by industry-standard CAD kernels.

Securely upload with confidence—your IP is protected and stored on Google Cloud (GCP) infrastructure with all servers physically located in the United States.

Step 02

Receive Instant AI Cost Analysis

The "Should-Cost" Model.
Other platforms give you a "Black Box" price. We give you an engineering baseline. Our AI evaluates your geometry against 100+ manufacturing constraints to estimate the cost before you go to market.

Case Study: Transparency Gap

Competitor Quote: $325.00 (Single Line Item)

partZpro® AI Estimate: $325.00 Total

↳ Material/Run: $120.00

↳ Setup Cost: $205.00 (⚠️ High Risk)

Step 03

Optimize with Actionable Insights

✅ Free Light DFM (included with every quote)

Instant sanity check: 8-Point Critical Check (Wall thickness, hole depth, sharp corners).
Price Breakdown: Separate line items for Material, Setup, and Shipping.
Regional Pricing: Instantly compare US vs. China/Vietnam costs.

🚀 Pro 40-Point Engineering Deep Dive

Comprehensive risk mitigation: 40+ Advanced Checks including tool accessibility & tolerances.
Visual Heat Maps: See exactly where money is accumulating on your 3D model.
Manufacturing Logic: We flag why a feature is expensive.

Upload CAD for Instant Analysis → Secure upload. Engineers review every flagged risk.

Step 04

Private RFQ Network

No "Vendor Roulette."
Once your design is optimized, submit it to our vetted network. Unlike "Public Bid Boards" that blast your IP to thousands of shops, we restrict access to a Private Network of Hand-Picked Partners.

The Result: You receive firm, binding quotes from qualified factories that match your specific tolerance and material needs.

Step 05

Direct Shipping & True Cost

Factory Direct with Original Invoice.
We stripped the warehouse out of the supply chain. Parts fly directly from the machine shop to your door.

Radical Transparency: Your package includes the Original Factory Invoice. You see exactly who made your parts and what they charged, proving you paid the true market rate, not an inflated broker markup.

Escrow as a Service - Management & Protection Platform

Total Financial Control: We hold the cash in escrow until you physically hold the part. The factory doesn't get paid until you verify the shipment matches the print, forcing them to prioritize quality over speed.

A U.S. Legal Firewall: Avoid the dead end of chasing refunds overseas. You contract directly with our U.S. entity in Irvine, CA; if a deal fails, we provide instant refunds and handle the dispute internally so you don't have to.

Enforced Accountability: Replace "hope" with leverage. "Trust" is a poor strategy for international supply chains, but a frozen bank account is an effective one. Our model ensures performance before payment.

Transparent Protection: Your management fee is not a blind markup—it is a transparent investment in financial security. Think of it as the most affordable insurance policy available for your supply chain.

Global Pricing, Domestic Safety: Access the aggressive cost savings of international manufacturing without the risk. We bridge the gap, giving you the factory’s direct price while keeping your capital safe on American soil until the job is done.

You Will Check Your Parts Eventually. Why Pay a Middleman to Check Your Parts?

Stop Paying the "Redundancy Tax": Your team already performs Incoming Quality Control (IQC). Paying a middleman to measure a part that you are going to measure again is the definition of economic waste.
Eliminate the "Warehouse Pause": Traditional brokers add 3–5 days to lead times just to unbox and re-box parts. We ship Dock-to-Stock—straight from the machine to your door—because shipping to a generic warehouse adds zero value.
Real Assembly is the Only QC That Matters: A broker’s CMM report is just paper; the mating part is reality. You don't need a middleman to tell you if it fits—you need the part in your hand faster so you can verify it yourself.
Trade "Inspection" for "Leverage": A warehouse inspector can miss a defect, but a frozen bank account cannot. Our Escrow Shield guarantees quality better than physical inspection because the factory knows they don't get paid until you approve the work.
Designed for Pros, Not Amateurs: Hobbyists need a "nanny" to validate their parts; professional engineers trust their own verification. We strip away this "hand-holding fee" to pass the savings—and the control—directly to

PartzPro Frequently Asked Questions

The "Open-Book" Business Model

Q: Why is there a factory invoice in the box?

That is your Commercial Import Invoice. Because we ship Factory Direct to your door, international customs requires an invoice that travels with the package.

Transparency & Compliance: This invoice lists the origin factory (showing you exactly who made your parts) and declares the exact value you paid at checkout.
Why it matches your payment: We ensure the commercial invoice matches your transaction value so that Customs calculates your duties correctly and legally, preventing delays or penalties at the border.

Q: If I have the factory’s info, why shouldn't I just go direct next time?

First, strictly speaking, you cannot. To protect our platform, our Terms of Use include a Non-Circumvention clause that prohibits direct transactions with our suppliers for 24 months.

But practically, clients stay for the "US Shield." When you order through PartzPro, your money is held in US-based Escrow. We handle the legal leverage, language barriers, and financial security. If you go direct, you lose that protection and have zero recourse if something goes wrong.

Q: What exactly does your Service Fee cover?

Your fee covers Financial Security (Escrow), Vendor Vetting, AI Engineering Analysis, and Project Management. We act as your US-based legal firewall. We find the best factories, negotiate the rates, and hold the money until the job is done right.

Logistics, Customs & AI Technology

Q: Who handles the HTS Codes and Customs paperwork?

Our AI does the heavy lifting; you just confirm the release. We don't leave you guessing on complex government tariffs.

Heavy AI Analysis: Our proprietary AI Assistant performs a 40-point analysis of your part's geometry and material. It automatically searches the official US Government HTS database to generate a precise HTS Code Breakdown for your specific parts.
The Process: This data is provided to the carrier (DHL/FedEx/UPS). When the broker contacts you, the classification is already estimated—you simply confirm it to release the shipment.

Q: Who pays the duties?

You do—which saves you money. Because we ship DAP (Delivered at Place), you pay the exact duties owed to the government based on the AI-generated HTS code.

Why this is better: Competitors who offer "Free Shipping/DDP" often inflate the price to cover the worst-case tariff scenario. By paying the actual duties yourself, you ensure you are never overcharged for import taxes.

Q: How fast is shipping?

Since we skip the "Middleman Warehouse," our standard international shipping is extremely fast (typically 3–5 days transit). Your parts fly directly from the machine shop to your desk.

Quality Assurance & Liability

Q: Competitors inspect parts at a US warehouse before shipping. Why don't you?

Because "double handling" kills speed and adds unnecessary cost. We operate on a "Dock-to-Stock" model. The factory performs the rigorous QC, and parts ship directly to you.

We treat you like a professional: we know you will verify the fit and function of your parts upon arrival. By removing the redundant middleman inspection, we save you 30% on cost and 3–5 days on lead time.

Q: What happens if the parts arrive out of spec?

You are protected by the PartzPro Escrow Guarantee. Because we hold the funds, the factory does not get paid until you verify the order.

The Process: You have a 3-Day Inspection Window upon delivery to verify fit and function. If parts are non-conforming, simply upload a photo and inspection report within that window. We will either force an immediate priority remake at the factory’s expense or issue a refund.

Q: Does your AI just check for geometry errors?

No. Our AI Cost-Driver Audit goes beyond simple DFM (Design for Manufacturing). It helps you perform Value Engineering by highlighting features that are disproportionately expensive (e.g., deep pockets, tight radii, non-standard threads). We show you the cost drivers so you can engineer the price down before you order.

Payments & Corporate Orders

Q: We are a company, not a hobbyist. Can we pay via Purchase Order (PO)?

Yes. We specialize in serving agile engineering departments and mid-sized manufacturing firms.

How to order with a PO: You can select "Pay via PO / Wire" at checkout or email our sales team directly with your PO attached. We will verify your company details and send a payment link or wire instructions immediately so production isn't delayed.

Q: Do you offer Net-30 Terms?

We offer terms to qualified business partners after an initial credit review. Please contact our sales team to set up your corporate account. For new customers, we recommend using our PO-to-Wire workflow for the fastest start.
