THE PROBLEM

Manufacturing is coming back to America, but getting your parts made is still a frustrating process. Existing platforms (like Xometry and Protolabs) hide suppliers from you, mark up your parts, and give you minimal control and flexibility.

Alternately, you do a bunch of manual outreach to find suppliers, check if they have production capacity, see if they have the right equipment, can provide a quote quickly, can meet your tolerances and finish, follow-up a bunch of times, etc… Whichever option you use today - it sucks.

THE SOLUTION

Just submit ONE RFQ on Vendra - that’s literally it.

We match your parts to US manufacturers who meet your exact specs and automate all the manual sourcing steps. You receive multiple competitive quotes and lead times, collaborate directly with suppliers on design and manufacturing details, and choose exactly who builds your parts.

We’re the only platform optimized for real-time production capacity. Need parts machined on a 5-axis CNC or printed on a large-format SLS printer? We’ll connect you exclusively with suppliers who have that exact equipment available immediately - so you get fast quotes and even faster production.

We’re already trusted by Apple, Skydio, and leading aerospace and hard-tech startups. Our automation and capacity optimization have saved them up to 40% on part cost and cut lead times in half compared to legacy platforms.
