Step 02 — The pattern
A pattern maker drafts it
A vetted professional accepts the brief and delivers pattern, render and tech pack. You approve on the render — payment stays in escrow until you do.

A rare craft — that's your leverage
Industrial pattern making is getting scarcer while product development demand isn't shrinking. Rare skill should sell at its true price: here the net is shown before you accept, and payment is escrowed before the first line is drawn.

FAQ
How do pattern makers get paid?
Their net is shown before they accept, payment is escrowed before they start, and released on your approval. No unpaid work, no haggling.
What if I don't like the render?
Three revisions are included, each with a written reason so the pattern maker knows what to fix. Beyond that, a team-arbitrated dispute settles it — and your payment stays in escrow until you approve.
