Search by what must be made.
Define the production need and discover facilities that technically match the job. Compare fit before entering the sourcing workflow.
Search structured industrial capability
Look beyond company names. Search by process, material and grade, certification, part size and industry experience to find production capacity that fits the job.
Start from the part, not from a company list
A capability search begins with a manufacturing requirement. Metraxio does the matching, so you do not have to screen supplier websites one by one.
Define what must be made
Describe the part, attach drawings or CAD and state quantity, material, certifications and delivery. Your words are turned into structured criteria.
Search real facility profiles
Every criterion is checked against plant-level data: processes, capabilities, machines, materials, certifications and part size limits.
See who can make it
Facilities are grouped by technical fit and shown anonymously, with the reason behind every result.
What you can search by
Process & capability
CNC turning, milling, stamping, casting, forging, injection moulding — down to the specific capability within a process.
Material & grade
Search by material family or exact grade. Aliases like 1.4301, V2A and AISI 304 resolve to the same grade.
Certifications
Require ISO 9001, IATF 16949, ISO 13485 or other certifications as hard criteria.
Part size & weight
Maximum length, diameter and weight are checked against each facility’s machine envelope.
Industry experience
See whether a facility already supplies automotive, machinery, medical, energy or other sectors — as a preference or a requirement.
Production type & country
Prototype, batch or series production and the manufacturing country. Preferred criteria add context; required ones become hard filters.
Capability search vs. a supplier directory
- Search by company name, keyword or category.
- Capabilities are self-described marketing text.
- You check each supplier’s fit yourself.
- No way to tell “can’t do it” from “didn’t say”.
- Search by the part: process, material, grade, size and certifications.
- Capabilities are structured data with a verification level.
- Every facility is checked against every criterion for you.
- Missing data shows as “Needs More Information”, never as a silent rejection.
Browse the manufacturing taxonomy
The same structured vocabulary used in capability search is public. Use it to find the right terms for your requirement.
- Processes → Manufacturing processes and how they are specified.
- Capabilities → Specific capabilities within each process.
- Materials → Materials and grades with their common aliases.
- Industries → Typical parts, processes and requirements per sector.
- Locations → Manufacturing regions and clusters.
