HOW WE COMPARE
The platform, network, and team others are still trying to build — Fictiv has been delivering for years.
| Capability | Typical machine shop | Digital marketplaces | Fictiv |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tolerances | Varies by shop; you won't know until you've qualified them | Platform-driven specs with no enforcement |
±0.0001" across milling, turning, and EDM — guaranteed, not shop-dependent
|
| Capacity | Single-site; surges strain scheduling and lead times | Broad but unvetted — quality at scale is unpredictable |
250+ vetted partners across 5 global regions — flex up without qualifying new suppliers
|
| Finishing | Often outsourced; adds lead time and coordination overhead | Buyer arranges independently; no coordination |
Plating, blasting, dyeing, anodizing, custom coatings — all under one order
|
| Assembly | Limited; full BOM builds are rare and hard to scale | Not offered |
Welding, kitting, and full BOM builds — one partner from part to finished product
|
| Speed | Manual quoting; lead times shift with shop workload | Instant quotes, but no accountability on delivery |
Instant quotes backed by reliable lead times — speed you can actually plan around
|
| Quality docs | Depth and standards differ everywhere; no guarantee | Little to no oversight; documentation is buyer's problem |
QMS, CMM reports, advanced GD&T, and CoCs on every order — no chasing paperwork
|
| Support | Not built for multi-part program management | Self-serve only; no escalation path |
Real engineers and dedicated PMs on every program — not a chatbot, not a ticket queue
|
| Risk | Single-region; tariff and disruption exposure falls on you | Lowest-bidder sourcing with no built-in resilience |
Audited suppliers and multi-region redundancy — disruption absorbed, not passed through

QUESTIONS
Instant quotes in minutes, CNC parts as fast as 1 day, 3D printed parts in 24 hours, sheet metal parts in 2 days, and injection-molded T1 samples in about 10 days, depending on geometry and material.
ISO 9001:2015 quality certification and manufacturing partners certified to AS9100 Rev D, ISO 13485:2016, and IATF 16949:2016. Inspection reports, CoCs, advanced GD&T, and full material traceability on every order.
Yes. The same platform carries your parts history, DFM guidance, and quality docs from first article through full-scale production, so you avoid re-qualifying a supplier mid-program.
Most online manufacturing platforms connect you to whoever bids lowest. Fictiv works differently: 250+ vetted manufacturing partners — not lowest-bid auction winners.
That network has delivered 41M+ custom parts to 3,000+ trusted brands, backed by four things competitors rarely combine:

Fictiv provides enterprise-grade IP protection at every stage of the manufacturing process. Your CAD files are anonymized before being shared with manufacturing partners—no supplier sees your company name, project context, or full assembly. Only the manufacturing partner awarded your order receives access to your design data (no mass bidding). All Fictiv manufacturing centers operate under strict NDAs as legal extensions of Fictiv. Our processes are SSAE18 SOC2 audited for information security. For additional protection, we offer mutual NDA agreements or can sign your company's proprietary NDA. Our Secure+ program provides access to an exclusive network of suppliers with enhanced physical and digital security controls for robotics, aerospace, and other IP-sensitive industries.
