What Get It Made does

Get It Made is a London-based Manufacturing-as-a-Service (MaaS) intermediary founded in 2011. The company provides outsourced custom manufacturing services spanning 5-axis CNC machining, CNC turning and milling, 3D printing (including Multi Jet Fusion), plastic injection moulding, aluminium die casting, metal injection moulding, custom aluminium extrusion, sheet metal fabrication, and assembly and welding. It does not own production equipment at scale; instead, it operates as a sales, engineering, and project-management layer over a network of partner factories, with a ten-year relationship at a primary Chinese facility and additional capacity in the UK and Czech Republic (the latter used for AS9100-compliant aerospace work).

The business model is sales-led and project-based. Customers request bespoke quotes via the website; engineers return reviewed quotes within 24 hours, including a free Design for Manufacturing (DFM) review. Pricing is custom per project and not publicly disclosed, with CNC machine-hour rates of roughly £10–21 in China versus ~£30 in the UK reflecting the cost arbitrage the intermediary captures. Revenue is one-time per project rather than recurring or subscription-based, with no e-commerce or self-serve ordering. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification and supports AS9100 compliance through its Czech aerospace partner.

The customer base spans over 1,100 companies across more than 4,800 projects and 380,000 parts, with named customers including Airbus, Honeywell, Ocado Technology, Brompton, Imperial College London, University of Oxford, and Orca Computing. Primary verticals are aerospace and defence, medical and healthcare, and startups and product development, with secondary exposure to robotics, automotive, academia, and general engineering. Marketing is driven by an extensive technical content library and UK regional SEO pages rather than paid acquisition.

Products and services

• 5-axis CNC machining Advanced multi-axis CNC machining producing complex geometries in a single setup with reduced fixturing and high-quality surface finishes, serving aerospace, automotive, and medical applications.
• CNC turning service Precision turning on CNC lathes where material is rapidly rotated and cutting tools shape cylindrical, conical, or spherical parts such as shafts, bushings, and rotational components.
• CNC milling service Subtractive manufacturing using computer-controlled rotary cutters to remove material from a workpiece, supporting 3, 4, and 5-axis operations for complex shapes in metals and plastics.
• Standard CNC machining General-purpose CNC machining producing precision parts from metal or plastic materials using standard 3-axis milling and turning operations.
• 3D printing service Additive manufacturing producing parts layer by layer, including Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) technology for prototyping and production parts.
• Plastic injection moulding High-volume manufacturing of plastic parts by injecting molten polymer into custom metal moulds, suitable for consumer products, automotive components, and medical devices.
• Aluminium die casting Manufacturing process producing aluminium parts by forcing molten metal into precision-engineered steel dies under high pressure for high-volume production of complex-shaped components.
• Metal injection moulding Metalworking process combining powder metallurgy and plastic injection moulding to produce small, complex metal parts with high precision and material efficiency.
• Custom aluminium extrusion
