01Why Porchmade
Not a print farm. Your neighbor.
A human in the loop
Makers review your design and flag what won't print before you pay. No CAD degree required.
Down the road
Built around local pickup. Meet the person making your part — or ship it if you'd rather.
Pay the maker
Your money goes to a real person nearby, not a factory queue overseas. Their reputation, not ours.
