Fictiv alternative · Injection molding
A Fictiv alternative for injection molders
Fictiv is a manufacturing platform that sources parts for buyers from its partner factories. SeekMake works the other way: it puts instant quoting on your own website, so customers order from you, at your prices, under your brand.
Buyers who source through a platform rarely talk to the person running the press. For a molder, that conversation is where DFM feedback, gate location and resin choices get settled, and where repeat production often starts. Quoting on your own site opens that conversation earlier, with a price based on your rates and a message thread attached to each order.

FAQ
Questions shops ask before switching
Can I keep working with Fictiv?

Do you take a commission on my orders?
SeekMake has a free plan with a small fee on orders paid online, and paid plans with lower or no fees. Orders paid by bank transfer go straight to you.
Who owns the customer?
You do. Customers create accounts on your domain and reorder from you.
Can I discuss DFM changes with a molding customer inside the order?
Yes. Each order has a message thread in the customer portal, so design questions stay attached to the job.

Yes. Checkout supports purchase orders for B2B buyers, as well as bank transfer, card and PayPal.
Which files can customers upload?
STEP files. The part is checked and measured automatically when it is uploaded.
