More about quoting
Which files can I use?

Upload DXF for flat profiles, or STEP/STP for parts and assemblies. STEP parts and assemblies are detected automatically, with repeated parts counted for review. You can upload up to 10 files, 10 MB total, at a time. Only have a PDF, print, or image? Send it to Ahner for a quote.

Will my part receive an online price?

Supported parts receive pricing after you confirm their material, thickness, quantity, and options. Parts that need a closer manufacturing review show a reason and can be sent to Ahner for review.

Can I pick up my order or have it shipped?

Your estimated ship date appears in your quote. Choose pickup at our Sandusky shop or an available delivery option during checkout. Review shipping costs and estimated timing before placing an order. Some jobs have pickup-only restrictions. Plan delivery or pickup.

Can I save a quote without ordering?

Yes. Choose Save quote from quote review to create a saved quote link. Check the save confirmation for email delivery and expiration details. An account helps you find your saved quotes and orders later.

What does shop review actually check?

The quote checks geometry, material thickness, tooling, and machine capacity. For formed parts, this includes bend fit and tonnage; selected hole operations are checked against the part and material. If something needs a closer look, the quote shows the reason so you can revise the file or send it to Ahner for review.
