Frequently Asked Questions
-
How do I get started with MFGNode?
Simply upload your CAD files (STEP, STL, IGES, etc.), specify your manufacturing requirements—material, finish, quantity—and submit your RFQ. You'll receive competitive quotes from qualified suppliers within days, all through your dashboard.
-
Is MFGNode only for businesses, or can individuals use it too?
While our platform is designed for startups and SMEs, individual makers and engineers working on larger projects are welcome. We support everything from single prototypes to production runs.
-
What is an RFQ and how does the quoting process work?
RFQ stands for Request for Quotation. When you submit an RFQ, it's automatically matched with suppliers who have the right capabilities for your project. You can compare quotes side-by-side, message suppliers with questions, and request revised quotes—all from one place.
-
Can I protect my designs with an NDA before sharing them?
Yes. You can upload your own NDA template to your profile and require suppliers to sign it before they can view your RFQ details. This gives you control over who sees your designs.
-
How do I place an order once I've chosen a supplier?
Once you accept a quote, you can generate a professional purchase order with one click or attach your own. After confirming shipping details and uploading payment confirmation, your order is placed and the supplier is notified immediately.
-
What payment methods do you accept?
Currently, we support bank transfers. Payment details are provided by the supplier after you place your order, and you can upload your payment confirmation directly through the platform for tracking.
-
Can I track my order after it's placed?
Absolutely. Once your payment is confirmed, you can monitor production progress in real-time with estimated completion dates for each part. When shipped, you'll see carrier information, tracking numbers, and expected arrival dates—all in your order dashboard.
-
Can I communicate directly with suppliers?

What if something goes wrong with my order?
If you receive damaged items, wrong parts, or experience quality issues, you can report the problem directly from your order page. We'll notify the supplier and help facilitate a resolution. Your feedback also helps maintain the quality of our supplier network.
-
How do I know which supplier to choose?
Each supplier has ratings from previous customers across quality, communication, and delivery. You can also view their capabilities, certifications, and compare quotes on price, lead time, and shipping costs—giving you the full picture before you decide.
