Intelligent CAD Model Processing

Upload CAD files. Get instant, production-ready quotes β€” no manual setup, no bottlenecks.

Our Intelligent CAD Model Processing is a built-in part of our quoting tool and cost calculation software, helping machine shops, fabricators, and contract manufacturers automate quoting, reduce errors, and move faster from RFQ to production.


πŸ”§ What It Does

When a customer uploads a CAD file through your embedded widget, the system instantly:

  • Supports all major file types: STEP, STL, IGS, DXF, DWG, and more
  • Extracts part data: volume, surface area, bounding box, features, and complexity
  • Auto-orients the part for optimal manufacturing
  • Suggests the best production method: CNC machining, laser cutting, 3D printing, sheet metal work, etc.
  • Runs manufacturability checks to ensure the part:
    • Fits within your machine limits
    • Isn’t too fragile or overly complex
  • Flags parts for manual review based on your custom rules

This is precision estimating software built for real-world fabrication shops, job shops, and custom manufacturers.


🏭 Problems This Solves

Problem: Manual quoting is slow, error-prone, and inconsistent
βœ… Solution: Automate your quoting process with reliable part analysis, smart tech selection, and real-time manufacturability checks.

Problem: Risk of quoting parts that can’t be made
βœ… Solution: Customizable thresholds help avoid quoting parts that don’t fit your equipment or exceed design limitations.

Problem: Quoting ties up your team
βœ… Solution: Customers get instant quotes directly through your site. No back-and-forth, no file prep.


πŸš€ How to Use It

  1. Install the widget on your website
    – It’s plug-and-play and works out of the box.
  2. Customers upload CAD files
    – We support all standard engineering drawings and 3D model formats.
  3. They get a fast, accurate quote
    – Instantly analyzed and priced with full manufacturability verification.

πŸ’‘ Pro Tip

Want full control? Set up manual review rules for complex parts, fragile features, or VIP customers β€” so you (or your estimator) can approve before the order goes live. Perfect for prototype manufacturing and custom jobs.
