The first and leading machine shop designed for the Internet,
eMachineShop's mission is to provide easy, convenient and low-cost fabrication of custom parts
via the web. We achieve our mission by fully leveraging the web, software,
and state-of-the-art
machining technologies.
eMachineShop pioneered
online machining. We have made it more convenient and easier than
ever for both engineers and non-engineers to make custom parts. You begin by downloading the free
eMachineShop software. Then you draw your part in our easy-to-use
free 3D CAD software. When you're happy with your design, you
simply click for instant pricing and ordering.
This exciting new web service allows you more easily and conveniently
to:
-
Produce parts for existing products
-
Design and make new products
-
Fabricate replacement parts
-
Implement new ideas and inventions
-
Make any kind of custom part for any purpose
Making custom fabricated parts using conventional
vendors is a cumbersome process involving an often long sequence
of time-consuming
visits, phone calls, faxes, or emails.

In addition to the ease and speed of placing orders, the expert knowledge built into the software
guides less experienced engineers and even non-engineers through the
process without the need for expensive engineering support, saving even
more time and money.
Also, the available CAD software options are often expensive
and difficult to learn. The eMachineShop software
is easy to learn, offers
powerful features, and is offered free! Software
commands are included for creating designs, evaluating designs,
getting automated price quotations, and ordering.
Because of the cumbersome process with conventional
fabricators, many fabricators avoid
customers seeking short runs. And even for long
runs customers are discouraged from doing too many what-if price
quotations.
eMachineShop solves these problems and streamlines
the entire custom fabrication process from the
user's screen to delivery at the user's door.
Whether you are making one bracket for a computer
chassis, 100 levers for a home-built airplane kit, or producing parts for 100,000
cell phones, eMachineShop will be a key factor in your success.
