What This Site Is, and How the Matching Works
We match semiconductor equipment part drawings with shops that already run vacuum-grade material. We do not own machines and take no commission on your order.
A matching service for one part class, run by people who have sourced and quoted machined parts.
We are not a machine shop. We match your drawing with up to 3 shops that already run vacuum-grade parts.
How a shop gets on our list

How your drawing is handled
Preview first
Shops see a preview with part family, material, size envelope, quantity, tolerance and deadline. No name, no company, no files.
You agree, then it moves
Your drawing only reaches shops in the shortlist after you agree. Nothing goes out on our own judgment alone.
NDA if you ask for one
If you ask for an NDA, it is signed before anything moves, and the files stay with us until then.
How we make money
- Buyers pay nothingSending an RFQ and receiving quotes costs you nothing, ever.
