// What This Is

The Fabrication Marketplace

The Spool List is an equipment-verified fabrication marketplace. Makers register their actual machines — model number, capabilities, materials. Buyers post jobs that route automatically to makers whose equipment can fulfill them, by capability and proximity, not keywords.

It's not an Etsy. It's not a Fiverr. It's the layer that matches real fabrication demand to real fabrication capacity across 17 equipment categories — from FDM and resin to CNC, laser, embroidery, ceramics, jewelry, and metalwork.

Which means the audience here is doing one of two things: commissioning work that needs your products, or building shops that need your products. There is almost no audience waste.

// Audience

Who You're Reaching

Two distinct sides of the same niche. Most ad networks give you a category. We give you intent.

Side A · Buyers
Commission-Ready Demand

People actively posting fabrication jobs with budgets, deadlines, and file uploads. They're spending money on outputs — and the materials, finishes, and tooling that produce those outputs are part of the buying conversation.

Side B · Makers
Equipment-Verified Operators

Hobbyists running one machine. Pro shops running fifty. Print farms running hundreds. All of them register what they own, which means we know exactly which audience to put your printer, filament, bit, lens, or laser tube in front of.

// Coverage

17 Equipment Categories

Target the disciplines where your product lives — or run cross-discipline campaigns when relevance spans the platform.

// Why Here

What Makes This Different

Intent, Not Impressions

Every user has either posted a job or registered equipment. Every visit has commercial signal attached. No audience pad, no display-network bleed.

Verified Equipment

Targeting by actual machine ownership, not survey self-report. If you sell resin, we know which users own resin printers. If you sell bits, we know who runs CNC.

Two-Sided Reach

Buyer-side campaigns for materials, finishes, and prototype services. Maker-side campaigns for machines, consumables, and shop infrastructure. Same kit, two audiences.

// Inventory

What's Available

Inventory is curated, not auctioned. Each placement is shaped around the partner — these are the formats we currently support.

01
Catalog Placement

Featured positioning inside the 350+ machine catalog — surface your printers, lasers, CNCs, cutters, or embroidery machines at the moment makers are choosing what to add to their shop. Manufacturer-of-record placements, category sponsorships, and "compatible with" cross-promotions.

02
In-App Display & Native

Native placements across the iOS and Android apps and the web portal. Filament, materials, tooling, and accessory brands fit naturally — units read as utility, not interruption. Targeting by discipline, machine ownership, geography, and buyer-vs-maker role.

03
Newsletter Sponsorships

Sponsored slots in the maker newsletter — product launches, deep-dive features, and recurring "what's new" segments. Single-sponsor format, no inventory crowding. Lead position vs secondary position available.

04
Launch Announcements

Coordinated launch coverage for new machines, materials, or tooling. Includes catalog onboarding, in-app placement, newsletter feature, and homepage banner. Suited to manufacturers timing announcements around trade shows, product reveals, or seasonal pushes.

05
Custom Partnerships

Affiliate-style integrations, co-branded content, exclusive maker discount codes, sponsored challenges. If you want something that isn't on this list, ask — bespoke arrangements are how most of our larger partners start.

What We Won't Run

Curation is the product. These rules exist so the audience keeps trusting the placements.
