§ Private Profile · San Francisco, CA, USA
A global manufacturing and supply chain company providing on-demand digital manufacturing for custom mechanical parts, assemblies, and production.
Based in San Francisco, California, Fictiv operates a global digital manufacturing ecosystem that provides on-demand production services and supply chain management for custom mechanical parts and complex assemblies. The company utilizes a network of manufacturing centers across the United States, Mexico, India, and China to produce components via CNC machining, 3D printing, and precision welding without minimum order quantities. Operating with a workforce of 228 employees, the platform has manufactured more than 35 million parts for over 5,000 enterprise and early-stage customers across various global industrial sectors. Fictiv has secured $200 million in total investment from prominent backers including Honeywell, Intel, and Bill Gates, before recently becoming part of the MISUMI Group to expand its artificial intelligence and supply chain capabilities. The organization was founded in 2013 by co-founders Dave Evans and Nate Evans.
Fictiv has raised $183.0M across 4 funding rounds.

Fictiv is a technology-driven manufacturing and supply chain company that builds a digital platform for on-demand custom mechanical parts and assemblies, from prototyping to full-scale production.[1][2][3] It serves engineers, product developers, and supply chain teams at organizations scaling hardware products, solving pain points like slow sourcing, supply chain complexity, high costs, and lack of visibility by offering instant quoting, AI-driven feedback, global vetted networks, and end-to-end management.[1][2][4] Key offerings include CNC machining, 3D printing (FDM, SLS, SLA, PolyJet, MJF), injection molding, urethane casting, precision welding, and electromechanical assembly, with features like traceability, low MOQs, and cost optimization—evidenced by over 35 million parts manufactured and record 2025 growth in platform capabilities.[1][2][4]
Fictiv's growth momentum is strong: it doubled revenue in CNC and 3D printing during the 2020 pandemic, secured Series D funding from investors like Honeywell Ventures to expand its cloud platform and infrastructure, and in 2025 launched AI-driven supply chain tools plus expanded services for faster market delivery.[2][3]
Fictiv emerged as a response to inefficiencies in traditional manufacturing, founded by entrepreneurs including Gene Vetter (Co-Founder & CEO, linked to Transmed7) who identified needs for rapid, reliable prototyping-to-production transitions.[1][4] The idea crystallized around creating a "digital manufacturing ecosystem" using AI, machine learning, and a global network to streamline workflows from quote to delivery, bypassing legacy barriers like long lead times and fragmented suppliers.[3] Early traction came from pandemic-resilient operations, doubling revenue in key services amid disruptions, and partnerships with innovative firms like Transmed7 and quip, which praised Fictiv's speed (production parts in 6-8 weeks vs. 20) and quality processes.[3][4] Honeywell Ventures' investment highlighted its alignment with digital transformation, fueling platform advancements.[3]
Fictiv stands out in digital manufacturing through these key strengths:
Fictiv rides the wave of digital manufacturing transformation and supply chain resilience, fueled by post-pandemic shifts toward onshoring, AI automation, and agile hardware development for sectors like aerospace, medtech, and consumer products.[2][3][4] Timing is ideal amid global disruptions (e.g., tariffs, shortages), where its multi-region centers mitigate risks while enabling nearshoring in Mexico/U.S. for speed.[1][4] Market forces like rising demand for custom parts (35M+ manufactured) and low-MOQ production favor its model, influencing the ecosystem by empowering startups and enterprises to innovate faster—e.g., Honeywell's investment underscores enterprise adoption, while client testimonials show ecosystem-wide efficiency gains.[2][3][4]
Fictiv is poised to dominate as the go-to digital supply chain partner, with 2025's platform expansions (AI tools, assemblies, welding) signaling deeper integration into enterprise workflows and even larger-scale production.[2] Trends like AI-optimized manufacturing, sustainable sourcing, and electromechanical convergence will shape its path, potentially expanding into full product lifecycle services amid growing hardware-AI synergies. Its influence may evolve from prototyping enabler to indispensable scaler, tying back to its core promise: simplifying sourcing so innovators focus on breakthroughs, not barriers.[1][2]
