Cadly Crowd Manufacturer Signup Form
Welcome to Cadly's Crowd Manufacturer Network โ our distributed manufacturing system that works like Uber, but for makers.
Whether you're running a desktop 3D printer from your garage or managing a few machines in your workshop, you can join Cadly and earn by fulfilling prototype orders near you. No business license required โ just reliability, quality, and a passion for making.
Let's get started.
๐ How It Works
Cadly's Crowd Manufacturer Network works like Uber, but for making real-world products.
Whether you're a hobbyist with a single printer or a side-hustler with a small workshop, you can earn money by fulfilling prototype orders through our platform โ one job at a time.
1. Sign Up & Complete a Test Print
- After submitting the signup form, we'll send you a test print file.
- You'll print the object using your own equipment and typical materials.
- Then, you'll photograph the result in good lighting (top, side, and close-up angles) and upload it for review.
- This helps us verify your machine quality, print consistency, and attention to detail.
๐ We don't judge perfection โ we want to know what your machine can do and how you care for your output.
2. Quality Review & Approval
- Once you submit your test print photos:
- Our team will review them within 2โ3 business days.
- If your print meets the baseline quality required for prototype production, you'll be approved and added to our Crowd Manufacturer network.
- If adjustments are needed (e.g. printer tuning or print quality), we'll provide friendly feedback and offer a chance to retry.
3. Access Orders in Your Area
Upon approval, you'll be granted access to Cadly's prototype job board, where you can:
- View available product jobs near your location
- See required specs (e.g. material, color, size, turnaround)
- Accept the jobs you want โ there's no obligation to take every order
Each job includes:
- Ready-to-print files (STL or GCODE)
- Shipping labels and instructions
- A guaranteed payment rate per unit or batch
You are in control โ accept only the orders that work for your schedule and setup.
4. Print, Ship, Get Paid
Once you accept a job:
- Print the part(s) as described
- Package them using simple, provided instructions
- Attach the shipping label and send it off
After the customer receives and approves the item (or automatically after a grace period), your payment is released directly to your Cadly account.
