CNC machining
Milled parts, from a simple bracket to a complex housing.
AI sourcing assistant for CNC and sheet metal
The assistant reads your STEP or DXF file, drawing or photo, settles material and finish with you in plain English, and gives you one fixed price. We have the parts made overseas and delivered to your door, shipping and import duties included.
Continue with Google to start. Your draft comes with you.
Need 500 of these for our bike lights. Black, shipping to Austin.
This is a 60 × 40 × 8 mm milled aluminum plate with four M5 threaded holes. I’ll make it in 6061 aluminum with black anodizing, which stands up to rain and road grit. Here’s your price.
$2.30per part
+ $1,175 shipping & import duties
$2,325 total for 500 pieces, delivered to Austin
Production takes 4 weeks from your deposit, then about 1 week of shipping.
Why it costs less
On production runs, overseas machining often costs a fraction of a US shop’s price, even after import duties. Getting that price on your own takes weeks of searching, emails, and paperwork. Here it takes one chat.
| Ordering overseas yourself | With Easy Source | |
|---|---|---|
| Finding a maker | Search marketplaces and vet factories you’ve never met. | Send your file to one place. We arrange the manufacturing. |
| Getting a price | Send drawings to several factories and wait days for quotes. | A fixed price in seconds from a STEP or DXF file. |
| Getting it right | Explain your specs over email, across time zones and languages. | The assistant reads your file and asks a few questions in plain English. |
| Paying | Wire money abroad before production starts. | Pay Easy Source by card: 50% to start, 50% when your parts are ready to ship. |
| Shipping and customs | Book freight, clear customs, and pay import duties yourself. | Delivered to your door, with shipping and import duties in your price. |
| If something’s off | Sort it out with a factory on the other side of the world. | Tell the assistant. You deal with one seller, Easy Source, in the same chat. |
The assistant
Send a STEP or DXF file, a PDF drawing, or a photo with measurements. The assistant works out how the part is made, explains each choice in plain words, and keeps your whole order in one conversation.
Send a STEP file, a PDF drawing, or a photo with measurements. The assistant says what it sees and how the part will be made.
Need 200 of these. 30 mm across, 60 mm long, 12 mm hole through the middle.
That’s a turned bushing: 30 mm across and 60 mm long, with a 12 mm hole all the way through. It’s made on a lathe. What does it do? Does a shaft spin inside it, or is it a spacer?
A shaft spins in it, slowly.
Then the inside surface matters most. I’ll ask two quick things about the fit next.
Example conversations. Your price depends on your part, quantity, and destination.

Common questions
A CAD file, a drawing, or a photo of the part with its measurements. A dimensioned hand sketch works, too. Tell us how many you need; the assistant will ask for the remaining details.
Anything about your part. It reads STEP and DXF files, PDF drawings, and photos, explains materials, finishes, and tolerances in plain words, and suggests what fits the way your part is used. It never picks a specification without your OK, and your price updates in the chat when you change the quantity or finish. When something needs a person, the Easy Source team reviews it and replies in the same chat.
Overseas, by manufacturing partners Easy Source works with. That is what keeps the price down. Easy Source is the seller: you get one fixed price, pay Easy Source, and deal only with us. Supplier details stay private.
On production runs, machining overseas often costs much less than in the US, even after shipping and import duties, and your delivered price already includes both. For one or two pieces, a local shop is usually the better deal.
Quotes are free. With a STEP file, your price appears in the chat as soon as the material, finish, quantity, and ship-to address are set: a price per part, plus shipping and import duties on their own line, and the total delivered to your door. Every order is delivered. To order, pay a 50% deposit; the other 50% is due when your parts are ready to ship.
STEP or STP files get an instant quote, one part per file, and so does a DXF of a sheet metal part once you tell us the sheet thickness. Need an assembly? Send it over and we’ll quote it. IGES, STL, PDF drawings, and photos work too; those are quoted after review. Include dimensions and units when they are not already in the file.
Most STEP files and sheet metal DXF files are priced instantly. Drawings, photos, and unusual parts are quoted after review, typically within a few days to two weeks. Production takes 4 weeks from your deposit, then shipping; your price shows how long shipping takes.
Easy Source uses your files to understand your part, price it, and have it made. Our manufacturing partners get the drawings and files they need to quote and make your parts.
Easy Source currently focuses on custom metal parts: CNC machining, turning, and sheet-metal fabrication. Plastics, rubber, wood, composites, and electronics are not supported yet.
Send a STEP or DXF file and the assistant prices it in the chat. Drawings and photos work too.
