About CustomPartNet

CustomPartNet's mission is to facilitate informed decision making during the product design and sourcing process. The CustomPartNet service provides no-charge cost estimation resources and educational information across a range of commonly used manufacturing processes.

Designers, students, and buyers can create cost estimates and tradeoff analyses from scratch or by quickly adapting the parameters of a similar example part from the reference part library. The reference part library contains part images and all the relevant part and process parameters to estimate and analyze it's cost.

Our intent is to maintain the right level of detail to ensure that the subtle but crucial pieces of information related to cost, material performance, process selection, and supplier capabilities are not lost. At the same time, we are committed to keeping the site easy to use and understand.
