Replace Repetition With Intelligence: The Power of AI in Manufacturing Quoting

Every shop has that one estimator who remembers the logic behind every quote.

Why this part cost $86.
Why that one needed extra setup time.
Why a thin wall or deep hole always meant a call before quoting.

Now imagine teaching all that to your quoting system — once — and letting it take over the repetition for good.

That’s the power of AI in manufacturing quoting.


🔁 The Real Cost of Repetitive Quoting

In most custom manufacturing environments, quoting isn’t difficult — it’s repetitive. You recalculate the same logic, recheck the same numbers, and rewrite the same emails.
It’s work you’ve already done, over and over — and it slows everything down.— just reshuffled. And it adds up.


🤖 Calibrate Your Pricing with AI — On Your Terms

Automated pricing is powerful — but only if it reflects how you actually quote.

With AI-Powered Pricing Calibration, you can align your quoting engine with real-world pricing in minutes.
No more overthinking machine settings or guessing margins — the system learns from your actual prices and adapts automatically.

The result?
Faster setup, consistent quotes, and confidence that every price feels right — without spreadsheets or trial-and-error.


🧠 Real-Time Control with Quoting Copilot

Once trained, you still have full control — thanks to the Quoting Copilot.

This intelligent interface lets you:

  • See how pricing is calculated, step by step
  • Adjust variables on the fly — material, lead time, machine and operator time
  • Watch the quote recalculate instantly
  • Override machine settings when for future estimations

Whether you’re quoting for job shop prototypes or high-volume runs, you get automation when you want it — and control when you need it.


🧩 Smarter Quotes Start with Smarter Inputs

It’s not just about numbers.
Behind every quote is a part — and behind every part is geometry.

That’s why Digifabster uses feature recognition and DFM analysis to understand what you’re quoting. The system detects:

  • Holes, pockets, threads
  • Surface complexity
  • Potential manufacturing risks (e.g., thin walls, unsupported features)

This allows your pricing engine to respond more like a human — and less like a calculator.


💡 From Repetition to Intelligence

With the right tools, quoting stops being busywork and becomes a strategic advantage. You save hours each week by removing manual edits, ensure consistency across your team, and process more RFQs without expanding your staff. At the same time, you build customer trust through transparent, logic-driven pricing that feels tailored — because it is.

It’s not just automation.
It’s quoting with memory, context, and built-in experience.


✅ Final Thought

You didn’t grow your shop just to spend your time doing the same quote five different ways.
Now, you don’t have to.

Digifabster replaces repetition with intelligence — and turns your quoting software into your smartest team member.
