How NCLink works.
Share your project, compare quotes, and work directly with the shop making your parts. Follow each step from the first drawing to delivery.
One project, two clear workflows
See what clients and manufacturers do at every stage.
Client: Share your requirements
Create an account, upload your CAD files or drawings, and describe the material, quantity, tolerances, and other project details.
Manufacturer: Discover and bid
Review projects that fit your capabilities and submit a quote with your price and lead time.
Client: Compare quotes and select a shop
Compare price, lead time, and capabilities. Discuss the details directly, choose a manufacturer, and pay the agreed project amount.
Manufacturer: Begin production
Once your bid is selected and the project payment is complete, start making the parts and share progress updates.
Client: Track progress
Follow production status and use direct messaging to discuss questions or changes with the manufacturer.
Manufacturer: Finish and quote shipping
Mark the parts ready for shipping and provide the final shipping quote for the client to review.
Client: Approve and pay for shipping
Review the final shipping quote and pay the shipping charge so the order can be sent.
Manufacturer: Ship the parts
Ship once the shipping payment is complete, then share the tracking information.
Client: Receive and review
Inspect your parts after delivery. Approve the order or raise an issue within the inspection period shown for the order.
Manufacturer: Get paid
The project payment is released after client approval, the inspection period expires without a dispute, or a dispute is resolved in your favor.
