Well, not exactly. TechShop requires you (or your agent) to show up at a TechShop facility and operate the equipment. eMachineShop has a slightly different approach that is more in line with conventional 3D printing services: use their custom software to develop a model, upload it to eMachineShop and let their professional technicians operate the equipment.
Custom software permits some interesting features: Ability to accommodate many 3D model formats; Instant and accurate pricing; Integrated ordering; Provide “comments to the machinist” for special instructions.
eMachineShop is definitely not a consumer option, and is focused on serious hobbyists and any manufacturing operation that would normally make use of a machine shop.
One negative: eMachineShop’s custom software is Windows only.
