Qualified Supplier Matching
We match each project with manufacturing partners based on process capability, tooling experience, material knowledge, finishing requirements, tolerance needs, and production volume.
Global Manufacturing Network
A managed manufacturing network for custom plastic parts
NetProto combines online quoting, U.S.-based communication, engineering review, and China-side supplier management to help customers move from CAD file to production without managing overseas factories directly.
GLOBAL MANUFACTURING WORKFLOW
From CAD Upload to Managed Production
A clear step-by-step process that connects online quoting, engineering review, qualified manufacturing partners, production management, quality inspection, and delivery coordination.
- 1
Submit project online
Upload your CAD files along with quantities, materials, and specific project requirements.
- 2
Conduct Engineering Review
Our team reviews manufacturability, tooling strategy, and production requirements to minimize risks.
- 3
Connect with Qualified Suppliers
We assign your project to the most suitable manufacturing partners based on material, process, and schedule.
- 4
Manage Production Effectively
NetProto coordinates communication, inspection, logistics, and delivery follow-up.
WHAT NETPROTO COORDINATES
Managed Manufacturing, Not Just Supplier Sourcing
NetProto does more than connect customers with factories. We coordinate supplier selection, engineering review, production follow-up, quality expectations, and delivery communication through one managed workflow.
Engineering & DFM Alignment
Before production begins, NetProto reviews CAD files, manufacturability concerns, material selection, tolerance expectations, tooling assumptions, and project requirements.
China-side follow-up
Our China-side coordination helps manage supplier communication, sampling, inspection, schedule updates, packaging, and shipment preparation for overseas production
HOW THE NETWORK SUPPORTS CUSTOM PROJECTS
Built to Support Projects from Prototype to Production
NetProto’s global manufacturing network is structured to support each stage of a custom plastic part project, from early tooling and first samples to production runs, repeat orders, and long-term supply
Tooling & Molding Capacity
Our manufacturing network supports injection molding projects across different stages, including prototype tooling, bridge tooling, production tooling, family molds, overmolding, and secondary operations.
- Mold design and tool build coordination
- First article samples and revision support
- Production molding and repeat orders
Flexible Supplier Capacity
NetProto can match each project with suitable manufacturing partners based on part complexity, material, tolerance needs, finish requirements, order volume, and production schedule.
- Prototype and low-volume production support
- Scalable capacity for repeat orders
- Supplier matching based on project requirements
Customer value
Global Manufacturing Advantage with Managed Control
NetProto helps customers access cost-effective global manufacturing while keeping project requirements, supplier coordination, quality expectations, and production follow-up under a managed process.
Cost efficiency
Use global manufacturing capacity to reduce tooling and part costs while maintaining a structured quoting, review, and production workflow.
Controlled Quality Expectations
Define material, tolerance, cosmetic, and inspection requirements early so suppliers understand what must be checked before parts ship
Scalable Production Support
Support early samples, small production runs, bridge production, repeat orders, and long-term supply as customer demand grows.
MANAGED NETWORK MODEL
What Customers Provide vs. What NetProto Manages
NetProto keeps the customer focused on product requirements and approval decisions, while our team coordinates engineering review, supplier communication, production follow-up, quality expectations, and delivery support.
| Area | Customer usually provides | NetProto manages |
|---|---|---|
| Project Requirements | CAD file, material preference, quantity, finish, critical requirements | Quote review, DFM feedback, tooling strategy, and supplier matching |
| Supplier Coordination | Approval decisions and project priorities | Factory communication, schedule follow-up, and production clarification |
| Quality Expectations | Critical dimensions, cosmetic requirements, and functional needs | Inspection planning, sample review support, and quality follow-up |
| Production Updates | Feedback on samples, revisions, and order approval | Tooling progress, sampling updates, production status, and issue escalation |
| Delivery Needs | Destination, timing preference, and packaging notes | Shipping coordination, export preparation, tracking, and delivery communication |
