Online quote or shop review?

Choose the path that matches the files and requirements you have.

Choose by the information you have

  1. Clean DXF or STEP, standard requirements

    Start with online CAD quoting. Configure the material and quantity, check the preview, and review price and estimated timing.

  2. A print, PDF, or requirements that need discussion

    Use the print or PDF quote request. Include the drawing and describe material, quantity, finish, or timing requirements for the estimator.

  3. A CAD part flagged for review

    Keep the uploaded part in the quote and submit its review request. The existing geometry and identified issue help the shop check the part.

What changes between the paths

  1. Pricing

    Online pricing is available when the part fits the manufacturing rules. A manual request needs estimator review before a price is confirmed.

  2. Information

    The online quote reads uploaded geometry. A manual request also gives the shop drawings and requirements to interpret.

  3. Your next step

    An eligible online quote can continue to ordering. A review request goes to the shop for the price or clarification needed to proceed.
