MonotaRO Company Profile

We have launched a new service that eliminates the "effort of creating drawings" and "waiting time for estimates" in the procurement of custom-sized materials. You can easily place orders for custom-made products by simply entering sizes and hole positions directly on the drawings displayed on your PC screen. 【Features】 - No CAD software required: Orders can be placed intuitively without specialized knowledge. - Real-time drawing updates: The drawing changes immediately based on input values, allowing you to confirm the completed image while ordering. - Instant estimate display: You can check the price and delivery time immediately after completing the input, making it easier to plan procurement. - Orders can be placed from just one piece: You can order only what you need without constraints on minimum lot sizes. 【Supported Materials】 A wide range of materials including metals (aluminum, stainless steel, etc.), plastics, rubber and sponge, wood, glass, and more. 【Supported Processing】 Various processing options including cutting, drilling, and bending. 【Usage Scenarios】 - Custom orders for parts and jigs for production equipment. - Procurement of special-sized materials during prototype production. - Custom parts procurement for small lot products. - Production of replacement parts for repairs and maintenance. The process that traditionally took several days from drawing creation to estimate request and order completion can now be completed in just a few minutes. This is a procurement revolution that responds to the manufacturing site's "immediate needs."
