Files and Drawings Attachments

Get all the production details you need β€” without the email back-and-forth.

DigiFabster’s Files and Drawings Attachments feature allows your customers to upload additional documentation directly through the widget during the quoting or ordering process. Whether it’s technical drawings, manufacturing specifications, or supplemental CAD files, everything is organized and linked to the correct part β€” making your quoting, production, and communication cleaner and faster.

This feature is especially valuable for CNC machining, sheet metal, metal fabrication, 3D printing, and other custom fabrication workflows where precise detail matters.


πŸ”§ What It Does

With this feature, your customers can:

  • Upload key file types including:
    • Engineering drawings
    • DXF files, STEP files, STL files
    • PDFs, images, ZIPs, or custom documents
  • Attach files per line item during quote or checkout
  • Provide full manufacturing drawings, design files, and post-processing notes

Uploaded files are stored securely and displayed in your admin dashboard, ready for use in cost estimation, production planning, and manufacturing workflow management.


🏭 Problems This Solves

Problem: Missing data causes production errors or delays
βœ… Solution: Customers can upload complete part drawings and supporting documentation with their quote or order.

Problem: Email-based communication is hard to track
βœ… Solution: Files are attached directly to the order in your system β€” no more hunting through inboxes.

Problem: Not enough detail to generate accurate quotes
βœ… Solution: Use uploaded files to support feature recognition, DFM checks, and improve your cost calculation software accuracy.


πŸš€ How It Works

  1. It works out of the box
    – File upload is integrated into your quoting tool and online checkout flow
  2. Customers upload files during part configuration
    – Through your white-labeled widget or secure standalone solution
  3. Files are saved with the order and accessible in your order management panel
    – View, download, or review as needed for job costing, manufacturing estimating, or quality control

πŸ’‘ Pro Tip

Ask customers to include both 3D models and 2D technical drawings for parts requiring tight tolerances, complex machining, or post-processing. This ensures your fabrication shop, metal shop, or equipment manufacturer has everything needed to deliver precision results.
