CustomPartNet

CustomPartNet helps you navigate the challenges of custom mechanical part development with confidence. Our free online platform gives you instant access to cost analysis tools, material selection guidance, and manufacturing insights—empowering you to make smarter decisions at every stage of the product development lifecycle. Whether you're bringing your first prototype to life, reducing costs on an existing product, or teaching future engineers, CustomPartNet equips you with the resources needed to guide your design and manufacturing choices. Inventors, entrepreneurs, product designers, and procurement professionals use CustomPartNet to generate reliable cost estimates and explore the best materials and manufacturing processes for their unique needs. Educators and students turn to our platform as an interactive learning environment for Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA). It allows users to explore trade-offs in design, material, and process selection—making abstract engineering concepts concrete and engaging. By simulating real-world manufacturing scenarios and cost models, students develop not only a strong grasp of design fundamentals, but also the practical skills needed to create parts that are production-ready and cost-efficient.
