Once you place an order, you can see the actual delivery costs calculated based on your shipping address.
Currently, you can pay via bank transfer within 30 days of receiving the invoice or via credit card. If you prefer other payment methods, please contact us.
Our platform provides estimated cost including price and delivery time within seconds. Requests for manual estimates of cost are usually provided within 24 hours.
- CNC machining is a computer-controlled manufacturing method where programmed software controls complex machinery based on pre-determined movements.
- Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) is used for manufacturing complex and dimensionally stable metal parts. The process uses an inert gas atmosphere and a laser, whose thermal energy is used to melt metal powder which is stored in a powder bed.
- Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is a technology similar to Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) but uses polymers instead of metals. It is equally capable of creating highly accurate parts.
- Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) is a powder bed technology that builds up the manufactured parts layer-by-layer. It is a very accurate manufacturing technology with short building times as well as a high output.
- Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) produces parts out of thermoplastics with a heated and moveable nozzle. The technology is cost-efficient, scalable, and has short end-to-end lead times.

Yes, we do this in multiple ways.
The MakerVerse supply chain consists of hand-picked partners who have undergone a rigorous selection and onboarding process.
We strive to offer the highest quality parts by frequently vetting our partners, and we take full responsibility, guaranteeing that the proper quality is achieved.
If you notice any issues of lower-than-expected quality, please do not hesitate to contact our support center at support@makerverse.com.
We take your intellectual property very seriously.
Every drawing, sketch, or picture uploaded to our system is kept completely secure. We use state-of-the-art security algorithms. Once your order is placed, only the partner manufacturing your part has access to the part drawing. All manufacturers in our network are under contract to protect your IP. If you require a special non-disclosure agreement, please send your request to legal@makerverse.com.
You’ll be provided with the expected delivery date whenever you request a quote.
