How to Source Custom Parts at Your Price: Introducing Target Pricing
When sourcing custom parts, keeping costs under control is just as important as lead time and quality. That’s why MakerVerse introduced target pricing: a simple way to request quotes based on your budget.
This feature gives you more control during the quoting process and removes the need for back-and-forth with suppliers.
What is Target Pricing?
Target pricing lets you define your ideal price per part when submitting a manual quote request. MakerVerse then searches its network of vetted suppliers to find the best possible match, based on your specifications and your price target.
If the target price aligns with market rates, you’ll receive a quote that meets it. If not, we’ll provide a transparent counteroffer. There’s no obligation to accept, and no further follow-up is required.
How Target Pricing Works
1. Upload your design
Include your CAD file and project specifications, such as materials, quantities, and technologies.
2. Choose “Get a Manual Quote Instead”
This option gives you complete flexibility to define what matters most, including your target price.
3. Enter your target price per part
Use internal benchmarks, previous quotes, or budget estimates to guide your input.
4. Submit the request
Our team reviews your specifications and starts sourcing the best-fit solution.
5. Receive a quote within 48 hours
You’ll either get a quote matching your price or a counteroffer that reflects market availability.
