From CAD file to delivered parts — in eight calibrated steps.
Lattitive coordinates everything between you and the manufacturer. The contract stays direct, the pricing stays fair, and the entire workflow is auditable.
Upload CAD or describe your part
Drop STEP, STP, STL, 3MF, ZIP or PDF files into the secure intake. Prefer not to upload? Describe the part to our AI intake — it will recommend technology, materials and flag whether a designer is needed.
Project information
Quantity, material, technology, surface finish, required delivery date, notes. We capture everything a manufacturer needs to bid accurately.
Confidentiality model
Standard confidentiality applies by default to every supplier in the network. For sensitive geometry, enable Enhanced NDA — suppliers must accept your NDA before file access.
Suppliers submit confidential bids
Vetted UK suppliers submit price and lead time for each mode — Fastest, Standard, Cheapest. Their individual quotes are never shown to you.
Trimmed-median pricing
We discard the highest and lowest bid for each mode and calculate the median of what remains. The result is your Network Price.
Choose delivery preference
Fastest, Standard or Cheapest — or split the order across multiple suppliers for faster delivery and better capacity utilisation.
Intelligent allocation
Eligible suppliers (those within 10% of the network price) are ranked on lead time, reliability score and live capacity. The winning supplier receives the order.
Direct supplier contract
You contract directly with the manufacturer. They invoice you. Lattitive coordinates files, NDAs, tracking and post-delivery review — but never sits between you on the manufacturing contract.
