NCLink
A clear path from idea to part

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.

1Start with the project

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.

2Choose the right fit

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.

3Stay in the loop

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.

4Get the parts moving

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.

5Close 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.
