Instant Quoting
Summary
Meviy operates a Manufacturer-direct with AI quoting engine. Meviy is a product of Misumi Group for custom manufacturing. Core capabilities include CNC Machining — Milling, CNC Machining — Turning / Lathe, Sheet Metal Fabrication, Surface Grinding, Wire EDM using materials like Aluminum (A2017, A5052, A6061, A6063, A7075 and equivalents), Stainless Steel (SUS303, SUS304, SUS316, SUS430 and equivalents), Steel (S45C, SS400, S50C, SCM440 and equivalents), Tool Steel (SKD11, SKD61 and equivalents), Copper (C1100, C2801 and equivalents). Key certifications: ISO 9001:2015 (Misumi Group), JIS Q 9001 (Japanese equivalent). Minimum order is 1 part (no minimum order quantity) with lead times starting at CNC machining: as fast as 3–5 business days for standard parts. Sheet metal: 3–7 business days. Express options available in select regions. Japan-origin orders shipping to US add 3–7 days international transit. US-stocked and US-manufactured items ship faster.. Region coverage includes Japan (primary market), United States, Germany. No public API is available.

Ordering & Commercial
- Minimum Order Quantity
- 1 part (no minimum order quantity)
- Lead Time
- CNC machining: as fast as 3–5 business days for standard parts. Sheet metal: 3–7 business days. Express options available in select regions. Japan-origin orders shipping to US add 3–7 days international transit. US-stocked and US-manufactured items ship faster.
- Instant Quoting
- Yes
- Pricing Model
- AI-powered instant pricing. Upload 3D CAD file (STEP/IGES) — Meviy's AI engine analyzes geometry and generates an instant price in seconds without requiring drawings or human review for standard geometries. Price adjusts in real-time as quantity, material, finish, or lead time changes. No RFQ for most parts; complex geometries may require manual review.
- Payment Terms
- Credit card, Purchase order (for approved business accounts), Net 30 / Net 60 (for approved Misumi account holders)
- Rush Options
- Express lead time options available at checkout for select processes. Specific surcharge amounts vary by process and region.
Coverage
- Regions Served
- Japan (primary market)United StatesGermanyUnited KingdomFranceChinaSouth KoreaOther Asia-Pacific markets
- Manufacturing Locations
- Japan (primary manufacturing — Misumi-owned and partner factories)United States (regional manufacturing partners)China (partner manufacturers)Southeast Asia (Misumi group regional suppliers)
- Industries Served
- Factory Automation and Industrial MachinerySemiconductor Manufacturing EquipmentRobotics and AutomationElectronics ManufacturingMedical Devices (equipment, not implants)Consumer ProductsAutomotive (components and tooling)
- Volume Range:
- 1 part through production quantities. Platform optimized for small-to-medium volumes (1–500 parts) where instant quoting provides maximum value. Misumi's wider catalog (standard components) serves high-volume needs separately.
- Focus:
- Both — Meviy serves rapid prototyping (fast-turn CNC and sheet metal) through production volume custom parts. Complementary to Misumi's catalog standard components for mechanical design engineers who need custom alongside standard components.
- IP Protection:
- Files handled under Misumi Group's privacy policy and enterprise-grade security infrastructure. No SOC 2 certification published for Meviy platform specifically. Misumi Group is a publicly listed company (TYO: 9962) with enterprise data governance. ITAR compliance not confirmed; not recommended for defense-controlled parts. (inferred)
Platform
- Marketplace Model
- Manufacturer-direct with AI quoting engine. Meviy is a product of Misumi Group — Japan's largest industrial component manufacturer and distributor. Parts are manufactured by Misumi-owned factories and vetted regional partners. AI engine reads 3D CAD geometry to generate instant quotes; no human estimator required for standard geometries.
- Supplier Vetting
- Misumi Group supplier standards apply to all manufacturing partners. Misumi has 50+ years of industrial manufacturing experience and applies its quality standards to the Meviy platform. Specific partner vetting documentation for non-Misumi-factory orders not publicly detailed.
- Quality Assurance
- ISO 9001:2015 quality management. In-process and final inspection. Dimensional reports available. Misumi Group's global quality infrastructure applied across Meviy orders. 100% inspection for critical features where drawings specify.
- Order Tracking
- Order status tracking in Meviy account dashboard. Email notifications at key milestones. Shipment tracking number provided at ship. No public API for programmatic order management.
- API Available:
- No
- Account Required:

Differentiation
Best For
Mechanical and automation engineers who need fast AI-quoted CNC machined or sheet metal custom parts — especially those already using Misumi for standard components — and want to consolidate custom and standard parts procurement in one platform with global delivery.
Key Strengths
- Fastest instant AI quoting engine — 3D model upload generates price in seconds without drawing or human review
- Backed by Misumi Group — 50+ years of industrial manufacturing; reliable global supply chain and quality infrastructure
- Multi-region manufacturing presence: Japan, US, China, Europe — single platform for global teams
- Complementary to Misumi's standard catalog — same account for standard components and custom machined parts
- Strong in precision mechanical components: jig plates, fixtures, brackets, custom machine elements
- Broad material library with JIS/ISO equivalent designations — familiar to mechanical engineers globally
- DFM feedback integrated: AI flags non-manufacturable features during the quoting step
Known Limitations
- No API for programmatic ordering — not suitable for autonomous agent-driven purchasing
- Part size limits are smaller than US competitors (max ~300 mm for CNC milling vs. Xometry's larger envelope)
- Primary expertise is Japan/Asia; US and European turnaround times are longer than domestic US platforms like Xometry or Protolabs
- No injection molding, no 3D printing — limited to CNC and sheet metal only
- ITAR compliance not confirmed — not suitable for US defense-controlled parts
- Less brand recognition in the US market than Xometry or Protolabs
- Account required before quoting — no anonymous instant price
- Wire EDM and grinding availability varies by region; not available for all US orders
