PCBWay Alternatives: 7 Options for CNC, Sheet Metal and Molding

For anyone buying custom parts, from online CNC machining services in China to sheet metal and molded parts, the strongest PCBWay alternatives are Haizol, RapidDirect, JLCCNC, Fictiv, Xometry, Protolabs and SendCutSend.

PCBWay has more than a decade in PCB fabrication, and its mechanical side covers 3- to 5-axis CNC milling and turning for 1 to 100,000 parts, sheet metal from 0.5 to 10 mm and injection molding with rapid molds ready in 15 days, all on the same account as its boards. That one-stop setup serves prototypes well, but a production mold or a run of thousands needs the price, tolerances and lead time to hold at volume, and that is where a PCBWay alternative can earn its place.

We scored the 7 PCBWay competitors against PCBWay on 8 checks. The checks come from the complaints buyers raise most often in reviews and forums, such as quotes that rise after review, missed tolerances and shipping that costs as much as the parts. Every figure comes from each company's own website, public filings or Trustpilot page, checked between 20 and 26 October 2026.

TL;DR: 7 PCBWay alternatives (ranked for mechanical parts)

When to stay with PCBWay: PCBWay remains a sensible choice when boards and a few mechanical prototypes ship together on one account, above its $25 minimum order. Once a part needs a production mold or a batch reaches the thousands, one reviewed quote from one supplier leaves no second price to judge the tool or unit cost against.

What is PCBWay?

PCBWay is a PCB manufacturer that also sells machined, printed, bent and molded parts, and it works globally through its Hong Kong entity, Hong Kong Yanghui Information Technology Limited. PCBWay lists 3D manufacturing facilities in many cities on the Chinese mainland and ships all orders from warehouses in Hangzhou and Shenzhen.

PCBWay services beyond boards run from 1 to 100,000 parts on CNC, from a single prototype to 10,000 parts in sheet metal and from 1 to 500,000+ in molding, where PCBWay adds rapid tooling and multi-cavity molds.

Who pays: PCBWay charges the customer per order. PCBWay sets no minimum quantity, though the minimum order amount is $25 before shipping, and any import duties at the destination are the customer's to settle.

PCBWay reviews on Trustpilot: 256 reviews averaging 4.1/5 (read 20 October 2026).

Why teams look for PCBWay alternatives

PCBWay alternatives usually come up when a custom part moves from prototype to production volume:

• PCBWay's price can move after the order. PCBWay's order total might update after technical review for CNC, sheet metal and molding, through extra manufacturing cost or extra shipping, and the review can also end in a cancellation. PCBWay also states that 20% of its materials sit outside instant pricing and that painting, polishing and electroplating cannot be quoted automatically, so a plated stainless part is best budgeted from the reviewed quote.
• PCBWay returns one reviewed quote for the mold. PCBWay's final price for CNC, sheet metal and molding comes only after its experts review the request, and for small molding batches the starting cost is higher than for CNC or 3D printing. A single quote from one supplier leaves no second price to judge whether a production mold is fair.
• PCBWay does not name its sheet metal partners. PCBWay credits its sheet metal capability to a network of Manufacturing Partners, and the sheet metal page names no individual partner, so the plant behind a bracket is not visible on the page before the order.
• PCBWay records tight tolerances in 2 places. PCBWay works to ISO 2768-1 unless a technical drawing marks the critical dimensions, and any tolerance tighter than ±0.005″ (±0.127 mm) also goes into the order's Features tab, along with threads, tapped holes, inserts, surface roughness and welding joints. Because ISO 2768-1 covers lengths and angles but not flatness, a flatness callout missing from either place can leave a heatsink plate with no flatness requirement, and a PEM insert or H7 press-fit bore shown only on the drawing still needs its own Features entry.
• PCBWay's shipping and duty costs come after checkout. PCBWay's extra shipping cost can be added after technical review, and import duties or customs charges at the destination fall to the customer. A part priced well at checkout can still cost more on arrival.

Haizol answers the single-price limit with competing tool and part prices from verified factories whose audit reports the buyer can read before award. JLCCNC and SendCutSend keep production in their own plants, while RapidDirect, Fictiv, Xometry and Protolabs carry the whole order as one supplier.

What to evaluate in a PCBWay alternative

The 8 checks below decide whether a custom part arrives at the planned price and tolerance.

• Price certainty: whether the checkout figure is final or open to revision after payment.
• Quotes per drawing: a single price says little about a mold; 3 or more show the spread.
• Factory choice: whether the maker is an in-house plant, an assigned partner or a factory the customer chooses.
• Tolerances and secondary operations from your drawing: the default standard sets the baseline for unflagged features, and tapped holes, inserts and press-fit bores need to reach the shop floor exactly as drawn.
• Tooling: whether the quote names the toolmaker, the tool type (prototype aluminium or production steel) and the tool lead time.
• Lead time at volume: a 3-day prototype says nothing about 10,000 sets.
• IP protection: the NDA has to be signed before anyone opens the files.
• Landed cost: fees, minimum order values, shipping and duties set the final figure.

7 sites like PCBWay for CNC machining, sheet metal and injection molding

All 7 PCBWay competitors in this comparison quote CNC from a CAD file. Of the 7 platforms we compared, 5 also quote injection molding (all but JLCCNC and SendCutSend), 2 make parts only in plants they own (JLCCNC and SendCutSend) and 4 decide which plant in their network makes each part (RapidDirect, Fictiv, Xometry and Protolabs). Haizol is the only one of the 7 that sets several factories' prices for the same drawing side by side and leaves the pick to you, which is why it ranks first for parts moving into production.

Scores were read from Trustpilot on 20 October 2026. A single Protolabs review is too few to weigh against the rest.

Capability at a glance: CNC, sheet metal and injection molding

The capability table takes its values from each company's process pages, and a cell says so where a page gives no figure.

1. Haizol: best for custom CNC machining, injection molding and sheet metal quoted by several verified factories in China

Haizol is an online manufacturing marketplace for custom CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication services and injection molding (plus casting, stamping, forging, rapid prototyping and mechanical assembly services), quoted by verified factories in China. Haizol has run the marketplace from Shanghai since 2015 and has handled 4,000,000+ RFQs. Haizol's membership rules keep trading companies out: only manufacturers with a verified membership can put a price on a drawing.

How Haizol quotes molded housings and machined heatsinks

A Haizol RFQ can bundle parts made by different processes. For example, a buyer could send one RFQ for a device's plastic housing and its machined aluminium heatsink, with prices requested at 2,000 and 10,000 units. For the housing, the buyer can ask for an injection molding quote on both a cheaper prototype mold and a longer-lasting steel production mold.

The buyer uploads the STEP files and a 2D drawing with the critical dimensions and sets NDA Level 2, so every factory must sign the buyer's own NDA by hand and upload the signed copy before the files open. A Haizol account manager checks the request for completeness, and HaiMatch, Haizol's AI factory-matching engine, then routes it by process capability, material and available capacity to member factories whose profiles match the molding and machining work. Haizol earns no commission on whichever factory wins.

Haizol's quote comparison then lines up each factory's tool price, mold lead time and unit price at 2,000 and 10,000 units, so every quote is priced on the same volumes.

Why Haizol is a PCBWay alternative for custom parts at production volume

Haizol answers PCBWay's single reviewed price with competing quotes on the mold and the part: on 90% of RFQs, 8+ verified member factories quote within 24 hours, with no markup and no fee for the buyer. Where PCBWay's sheet metal page names no individual Manufacturing Partner, Haizol shows every quoting factory's profile, equipment, certificates and Factory Audit Report before award. At production volume, the factory-direct price can come in up to 70% below local European suppliers (the documented average saving is 20%), and Haizol has no minimum order quantity.

Key features

• Multi-Quote Comparison: Haizol's comparison view shows each factory's price for the quantity levels in the RFQ, so the spread on tool cost is visible before any toolmaker is chosen.
• Factory Profiles with a Factory Audit Report: each verified factory carries a dated report from Haizol's own site check, plus equipment tables naming brand, model and precision where the factory lists them, which shows machining or mold-making capability before any money moves.
• NDA levels at upload: Level 1 asks each factory to sign Haizol's legally binding digital NDA, while Level 2 swaps in a buyer-supplied NDA, signed by hand and uploaded for approval before file access.
• HaiBot Design Analysis: HaiBot flags gaps a factory would otherwise email about, such as a missing material or tolerance, so the drawing is fixed once for every factory.
• Drawing Collaboration: buyer and factory pin notes to a dimension on the shared drawing in the browser, so a question about a tolerance is settled before award.
• Account manager at no charge: Haizol assigns an English-speaking account manager who reviews each RFQ for completeness and helps with follow-up if a factory falls behind.
• HaiBot AI Sourcing and Factory Directory: HaiBot, Haizol's AI sourcing agent, turns a plain-language request such as "anodised 6061 aluminium brackets, around 5,000 a year" into suggested factories from Haizol's verified network, flags any that lack a requested certificate and costs nothing.

Pros

• Haizol factory ratings come only from buyers who awarded work to that factory, so a score reflects real orders.
• Haizol serves buyers in 117+ countries.
• Haizol's Supplier Discovery Tour, an on-site sourcing tour, takes buyers to member factories in China twice a year, and 92.8% of Winter 2025 participants were satisfied or very satisfied with their factory visits.

Cons

• Prices come from factories after you upload, so there is no instant checkout figure to accept immediately.
• Every member factory is in China, so import duties may apply when parts ship to the EU, the US or elsewhere.
• Comparing several quotes and factory profiles takes more of your time than accepting a single price.

Pricing: Haizol charges the buyer nothing, and each factory sets its own tool price and unit price at the listed volumes.

Best for: custom CNC machined, molded and sheet metal parts for any industry, planned for runs of 1,000 units or more, with several factory prices per drawing.

2. RapidDirect: best for China-made CNC, sheet metal and molding through one supplier

RapidDirect is the closest China-based match to PCBWay's mechanical menu, combining its own factory with a network of vetted manufacturing partners that RapidDirect puts at 80+ suppliers. RapidDirect counts 20,000+ customers in 120+ countries and regions, and our guide to the main competitors to RapidDirect compares them in depth. RapidDirect also sells PCB manufacturing and assembly, so a board can ship with its housing.

Key features

• CNC machining: RapidDirect's CNC service holds ISO 2768-m on metals and ISO 2768-c on plastics by default, with tolerances as tight as ±0.0005″ (±0.013 mm). RapidDirect's engineers send design for manufacturability (DFM) feedback before production, which catches tool-access problems on a heatsink early.
• Sheet metal with welding: RapidDirect's sheet metal service runs 100+ laser cutters, bending machines and welders across its China network, with riveting and enclosure assembly.
• Injection molding: RapidDirect's molding service covers overmolding and insert molding, so a housing with brass inserts can stay with one supplier, and most orders finish within 15 business days.

Pros

• RapidDirect's presses run from 90 to 830 tons, covering anything from a small clip to a large housing.
• RapidDirect sets no minimums on molding, so a short bridge run is quotable.

Cons

• RapidDirect returns one price per part and makes the part in its own shop or one of its partner shops in China, so the quote shows no competing bids.
• RapidDirect agrees mold storage, maintenance and reuse terms project by project during quotation, so those terms need confirming in writing before payment.

Pricing: RapidDirect gives an instant online quote for CNC and sheet metal; molding quotes arrive online with DFM feedback within 1 day.

Best for: a single China-based supplier covering molding, CNC and welded sheet metal on one quote.

RapidDirect vs. Haizol

RapidDirect gives one quote per part from its own factory or one of its partner shops, while Haizol sends the same drawing to several verified member factories and shows each one's price and profile. RapidDirect's single quote is quicker to read, while Haizol's spread shows whether one tool price sits high or low.

RapidDirect vs. PCBWay

RapidDirect and PCBWay both quote CNC, sheet metal and molding from China, and both sell boards too, since RapidDirect also offers PCB manufacturing and assembly. RapidDirect's T1 samples in as little as 2 weeks and PCBWay's rapid molds in 15 days put their prototype tooling lead times close together, and RapidDirect also states a ±0.02 mm mold cavity tolerance.

3. JLCCNC: best for fast CNC and sheet metal from the JLCPCB group

JLCCNC belongs to the same group as JLCPCB, the PCB fabrication and assembly service, and runs a company-owned 40,000-square-metre facility with 1,000+ precision CNC machines (as of December 2025). JLCCNC is therefore the nearest relative of PCBWay's model: a board house with a machine shop beside it. Our guide to JLCCNC pricing and alternatives covers JLCCNC in depth.

Key features

• 3-day CNC: JLCCNC's standard CNC machining lead time is 3 business days of build time plus 1 day to move parts to the shipping center, so parts are ready to ship about 4 business days after payment. JLCCNC mills on up to 5 axes, turns parts and takes parts up to 1,100 × 600 × 500 mm.
• Sheet metal: JLCCNC works stock from 0.5 to 6.0 mm with ±1.0° bend angles, plus laser welding and riveting.
• Finishes on sheet metal: JLCCNC's sheet metal fabrication offers anodising, hardcoat anodising, powder coating, silkscreen and laser marking.

Pros

• JLCCNC makes parts in one company-owned factory, so the maker is always known.
• JLCCNC's engineers send a free manual quote within 24 hours when the instant price cannot handle a part.

Cons

• JLCCNC does not offer injection molding, so molded shells need a second supplier.
• JLCCNC's automatic quoting ends above 20 pieces, and larger batches wait for a manual quote.
• JLCCNC's EU business parcels go through formal customs clearance with duties, plus carrier disbursement fees.

Pricing: JLCCNC gives an instant online quote up to 20 pieces and a free manual quote above that, and JLCCNC confirms the final price of every order after manual review.

Best for: small CNC and sheet metal batches where speed matters more than comparing suppliers.

JLCCNC vs. Haizol

JLCCNC machines a part in one company-owned factory at a price it sets, whereas Haizol collects quotes from several verified member factories for comparison before award. JLCCNC suits a 10-piece machined run, while Haizol also covers the molded parts JLCCNC does not make.

JLCCNC vs. PCBWay

PCBWay quotes injection molds and JLCCNC does not, so a molded shell stays at PCBWay or moves to another supplier. JLCCNC prices up to 20 pieces automatically, though JLCCNC and PCBWay both confirm the final CNC price only after a manual review.

4. Fictiv: best for managed molding and CNC with tiered pricing

Fictiv's injection molding page (October 2026)

Fictiv sells managed manufacturing from prototype to production: orders go through Fictiv's platform, and a vetted network spanning 5 regions makes the part, with injection molding produced in the US, Mexico or China. The MISUMI Group agreed to acquire Fictiv in April 2025 and now names Fictiv as its US subsidiary.

Key features

• Several quantities in one quote: a single Fictiv quote lays out unit price, total cost and lead time for as many as 5 order sizes, so the 2,000-set price break shows before a volume is chosen.
• Injection molding: Fictiv's molding service offers production-grade steel tooling and no minimum order quantities, and T1 approval moves straight into production.
• GlobalFlex Tooling: Fictiv's GlobalFlex inserts fit Fictiv's proprietary frames and run in China or move to Fictiv's US or Mexico facilities, which gives one tool a nearshoring or onshoring option.

Pros

• Fictiv's team includes program managers and quality engineers, which helps when molding and machining run in parallel.
• Fictiv lets the customer review and approve T1 samples inside its platform, with T1 samples as fast as 10 days on its newer molding track.

Cons

• Fictiv's team coordinates each job with the partner shops in its managed network, so the customer deals with Fictiv rather than the shop making the part.
• Fictiv builds GlobalFlex inserts to fit its proprietary frames, so a team that may later move the tool to another molder should agree transfer terms before ordering.

Pricing: Fictiv gives an instant quote with DFM feedback, priced across several quantities at once.

Best for: molded parts that a managed partner should carry from T1 samples into production.

Fictiv vs. Haizol

Haizol and Fictiv differ on who picks the shop: Fictiv quotes as a single managed supplier and coordinates the shop within its network, while Haizol lets buyers compare factory profiles and prices from several verified member factories. Fictiv takes over the coordination, while Haizol leaves the award decision with the buyer.

Fictiv vs. PCBWay

Fictiv and PCBWay both mold and machine, but Fictiv quotes several quantities at once and can move tooling between China, the US and Mexico. PCBWay ships every mechanical order from its warehouses in Hangzhou and Shenzhen.

5. Xometry: best for one marketplace covering almost every process

Xometry is a US-listed company that runs a manufacturing marketplace and reported total Q2 2026 revenue of $229 million, 41% higher than a year earlier. Xometry's processes run from CNC and injection molding to urethane casting, stamping and extrusions, and our guide to Xometry competitors covers its model. Xometry's European marketplace, xometry.eu, draws on a network of over 5,000 suppliers worldwide.

Key features

• Instant quotes for machined parts: Xometry prices custom metal and plastic machined parts on upload, ready to set against PCBWay's reviewed price.
• CNC with stated defaults: Xometry's CNC service holds ±0.005″ (±0.127 mm) on metals unless the drawing states otherwise, so a part without a tolerance callout has a known default, and Xometry quotes 3-7 business days as standard.
• Tariffs in US prototype prices: Xometry's checkout price for internationally produced prototypes shipped to the US includes tariffs and standard shipping, so no surprise tariff bill follows.

Pros

• Xometry offers one account for nearly any process a device needs, from molded shells to stamped clips.
• Xometry publishes quarterly public filings, so its finances are open to checking.

Cons

• Xometry selects the supplier for each job, and its price carries a marketplace margin: Xometry reported a 34.7% marketplace gross margin for the first half of 2026.
• Xometry states free standard shipping for US orders, so a delivery outside the US needs its freight cost checked in the quote.

Pricing: Xometry gives an instant quote, setting the price and assigning the supplier.

Best for: US teams that want one marketplace and regulated-industry certifications.

Xometry vs. Haizol

Xometry sets one price and assigns the supplier, keeping a marketplace margin, while Haizol shows several factory quotes and takes no commission because factories pay membership. Xometry suits US delivery from one vendor, while Haizol suits a buyer choosing the factory in China directly.

Xometry vs. PCBWay

Xometry's price for internationally produced prototypes shipped to the US includes tariffs, while PCBWay leaves import duties to the customer.

6. Protolabs: best for molded and machined prototypes in days

Protolabs is a digital manufacturer whose Q2 2026 revenue came in at a record $149.3 million, a 10.6% rise. Protolabs pairs its own digital factories for low-volume parts in days with a partner network for higher quantities. Protolabs' plants in the United Kingdom and Germany make it a PCBWay alternative in Europe.

Key features

• 1-day molding: Protolabs' injection molding service can ship small, simple molded parts in as little as 1 day, so a fit check on a housing does not wait for a production tool.
• Sheet metal: Protolabs' sheet metal fabrication turns parts and assemblies in as little as 1 day, with welding adding 1 day and assembly 1-3 days.
• Tight bores with a drawing: Protolabs' own factory may hold a specified hole or bore to ±0.0127 mm when the CNC drawing calls it out.

Pros

• Protolabs makes the prototype tool free once the customer moves to an on-demand production tool.
• Protolabs makes all sheet metal parts in New Hampshire, with welding and finishing done in-house or by a local approved vendor.

Cons

• Protolabs states that higher-volume CNC quantities are best quoted through the Protolabs Network, so a 10,000-part machined run is priced outside its own factories.
• Protolabs' factory CNC envelope tops out at 559 × 356 × 95.3 mm, much smaller than JLCCNC's 1,100 × 600 × 500 mm.

Pricing: Protolabs gives an instant quote for factory work and network quotes for higher volumes.

Best for: molded and machined prototypes needed within days from American or European plants.

Protolabs vs. Haizol

Protolabs makes prototypes in its own plants within days, while Haizol collects several quotes from verified factories in China for production volumes. Protolabs offers speed on the first prototypes, while Haizol compares tool and unit prices for the next 10,000.

Protolabs vs. PCBWay

Protolabs and PCBWay both make fast molded parts, but Protolabs builds them in America and Europe while PCBWay ships from mainland China.

7. SendCutSend: best for laser-cut and bent sheet metal in North America

SendCutSend homepage (October 2026)

SendCutSend is a US sheet metal manufacturer that cuts, bends and finishes brackets and panels in company plants in 3 US states, and it has shipped 30 million+ parts to 300,000+ customers.

Key features

• Quick shipping: SendCutSend's standard orders leave in 2-4 business days.
• Instant quotes up to 44″ × 30″ (1,118 × 762 mm): SendCutSend's min/max chart sets the instant-quote limit for most laser-cut sheet, so a panel inside that size is priced at upload.
• Welding on bent parts: SendCutSend's welding joins corner and T-joints on bent sheet metal, so a simple tray can arrive as one piece. SendCutSend does not offer multi-part assembly welds.

Pros

• SendCutSend ships free within the US on orders of $39 or more.
• SendCutSend makes every part in the US, with no international outsourcing.

Cons

• SendCutSend ships only within the US and Canada; our guide to SendCutSend alternatives for Europe covers other regions.
• SendCutSend's CNC machining is limited to 6061 aluminium, and SendCutSend does not offer molding at all.

Pricing: SendCutSend gives an instant online quote.

Best for: sheet metal brackets and panels under frequent revision, delivered in the US or Canada.

SendCutSend vs. Haizol

SendCutSend cuts and bends a panel in its own US plants and wins on days to a North American door, while Haizol routes the panel, a molded part and a machined component to several verified factories in China in one RFQ, wherever the buyer is based.

SendCutSend vs. PCBWay

SendCutSend ships US sheet metal in 2-4 business days, while PCBWay adds molding, CNC in many materials and boards from China.

PCB manufacturers like PCBWay for bare boards and assembly

For bare boards and PCB assembly, JLCPCB, OSH Park and Seeed Fusion, the PCB assembly service of Shenzhen-based Seeed Studio, are the usual starting points for prototype and small-batch boards, and JLCPCB is the natural benchmark in any PCBWay vs JLCPCB comparison. For PCBWay competitors in Europe, Eurocircuits presents itself as a European PCB and assembly partner, AISLER (Aachen), Beta Layout (Aarbergen) and Multi-CB (dispatch and support in Germany) are German board houses, and Würth Elektronik runs the WEdirekt PCB service. RapidDirect also offers PCB manufacturing and assembly, so it can ship a board with its housing.

PCBWay vs. Haizol

PCBWay and Haizol differ on 6 points:

• Pricing: PCBWay's total can change after engineering review; Haizol returns several verified factory quotes for the same drawing before anything is ordered.
• Factory choice: PCBWay makes mechanical parts in its mainland facilities or through Manufacturing Partners; Haizol leaves the choice to the buyer, based on each factory's profile and Factory Audit Report.
• Tooling: PCBWay returns one reviewed quote for the mold; Haizol has several factories quote aluminium and steel tools for the same part.
• IP protection: PCBWay provides a self-signed NDA on request by email; Haizol sets Level 1 or Level 2 at upload, and factories sign before opening files.
• Support: PCBWay gives every customer a dedicated account representative; Haizol's free account manager reviews the RFQ and helps follow up if a factory falls behind.
• Cost to you: PCBWay charges per order with a $25 minimum; Haizol quoting costs nothing, and Haizol has no minimum order quantity.

PCBWay alternative: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What are some websites similar to PCBWay, and who are its main competitors?

The websites most similar to PCBWay for mechanical parts, and its main competitors, are Haizol, RapidDirect, JLCCNC, Fictiv, Xometry, Protolabs and SendCutSend. Companies like PCBWay for boards include JLCPCB, OSH Park, AISLER and Eurocircuits, and RapidDirect also offers PCB manufacturing and assembly.

Where is PCBWay based, and is it an American company?

PCBWay is a Chinese company, not an American one: PCBWay trades worldwide through a Hong Kong entity, makes its mechanical parts on the Chinese mainland and ships orders from Hangzhou and Shenzhen.

Is there an American version of PCBWay?

The closest American versions of PCBWay for mechanical parts are Xometry, Protolabs and SendCutSend, the main PCBWay competitors in the USA. Xometry runs a US-listed marketplace, Protolabs makes parts in its own US plants (plus the UK and Germany) and SendCutSend cuts and bends sheet metal in 3 US states.

How much does PCBWay charge for CNC, and why can it cost more?

PCBWay pricing for CNC starts from an online quote with a $25 minimum order before shipping, and a technical review can then add extra manufacturing cost on complex or high-risk parts, or extra shipping. Import duties and any tariffs on a PCBWay order fall to the customer. Haizol gives a direct cost check for a PCBWay alternative: the same drawing uploaded to Haizol is quoted by verified member factories at no cost to you.

Is PCBWay good quality?

PCBWay's quality management system is ISO 9001:2015 certified, and manufacturing partners in its ecosystem hold IATF 16949:2016 and ISO 13485. PCBWay averages 4.1/5 from 256 Trustpilot reviews, with 74% 5-star and 18% 1-star, a split between very happy and very unhappy customers. PCBWay machines to ISO 2768-1 by default, so every critical dimension belongs on the drawing.

Is Haizol a PCBWay alternative?

Yes, Haizol is an online manufacturing marketplace and a PCBWay alternative for custom mechanical parts in any industry: CNC machined components, injection molded parts, sheet metal panels, castings and stampings. On 90% of RFQs, 8+ verified member factories in China quote within 24 hours. Haizol does not make or quote bare PCBs, so boards stay at PCBWay or another board house.

Final verdict: which PCBWay alternative fits your mechanical parts

Each of these alternatives to PCBWay earns its place on a different part of the build, so the best fit depends on the CNC machining, sheet metal or molding job in front of you.

For custom CNC machined, molded and sheet metal parts at production volumes of 1,000 units or more, Haizol is the strongest choice of the 7: several verified factories price the tool and the part, you pick the factory from its audit report and the NDA is signed before files open.

The boards can stay where they are; send the part drawings to Haizol to compare tool and unit prices from several verified factories.
