In 2013, our founders set out to eliminate a major bottleneck they experienced first-hand in new product development: custom part sourcing. The traditional process of finding, vetting, and managing suppliers, getting quotes, and tracking orders across many vendors is inefficient and fraught with miscommunication, delays, and errors. These challenges can stifle innovation and increase the risks of bringing new products to market. Fictiv is forging a new path — one that streamlines part sourcing, eliminates barriers to innovation, and unleashes the creativity of engineers. We built an intelligent operating system, supported by an elite operations team, to orchestrate a network of highly vetted and managed partners around the globe for fast, high-quality custom manufacturing, from quote to delivery.

While in school, we built one essentially from spare parts since there were no kits available at the time. We’ve built custom software systems, optimized workflows for precision prototype work, and strategically invested in automation to help achieve short lead times, high quality, and fair prices for our customers. Utilizing in-process inspection, automated part loading, and high quality tooling, we are equipped to produce your prototypes or complete a production run of your parts- All while maintaining exquisite quality and optimum efficiency. We offer a variety of secondary processes to put the finishing touches on your parts.

We believe ordering custom parts ought to be simple, fast, and straightforward. To advance the innovation of others through simplified, responsive, and efficient manufacturing. We believe the ability for humankind to innovate shall not be limited by the ability to make. Everything we do has the goal of increasing the speed at which our customers receive quotes, get responses to questions, and get their parts. We are determined to get you your parts quickly, correctly, and at the right price.

RAPID’s success was aided by leveraging modern technology, and Paperless Parts was founded to give other manufacturers access to these same types of tools. Our team has spent time in hundreds of manufacturing operations: from the smallest one-person job shop, to high volume production operations doing $100M contracts. Every day, we hear manufacturers tell us that software companies force them to change how they work to fit their products. We believe this is wrong: There is no “one size fits all” workflow for every manufacturing business and we built our platform with the flexibility to help you serve your customers. Paperless Parts is the secure estimating and quoting software for manufacturing that empowers shops to make smarter, faster, more informed decisions. Paperless Parts was founded by Jay Jacobs, Jason Ray, Scott Sawyer, Matt Sordillo, and Steve Lynch. The team realized it is more valuable to empower manufacturers with the right tools rather than forcing them into an ecosystem. The company is recognized as a Best Place to Work in 2023 by Built In.

“I’ve always had an interest in problem solving and inventing. In college I started learning computer aided design, this made it possible to make a virtual part file of anything I set my mind to, entirely from scratch. I was later introduced to 3D printing and CNC machining, which I then used alongside computer aided design in order to develop working prototypes. By combining these technologies I realized it’s possible to go from having an idea in my head to holding it in my hands within a matter of hours, this process is known as rapid prototyping. With rapid prototyping the sky is the limit! It makes me incredibly happy to wakeup everyday and do the work that I love.”- Gabriel Campbell.

We are insatiably curious, thinkers, tinkerers, makers and idealists who thrive on creating thoughtful, impactful, relevant and elegant solutions to problems big and small. Sure, we believe in process, but not in an overly rigid way that tries to force a “patented” approach onto each and every problem. And once we’ve landed on the right solution, we focus on flawless execution. Long-lasting partnerships built on mutual respect and well-earned trust. Whether your needs require sourcing, fabrication, a limited production run or full blown manufacturing (either domestic or overseas), we know just the right partners to bring your big idea to life.
