How to Use the Instant Quoting Tool
Quick Start
Upload a STEP (and a PDF print if you have one), pick material and finish, enter quantity, add notes, and submit. Leave threads as modeled holes and call them out on the print. We’ll email you a one-time link so you can open the quote in your portal.
- Prepare Your Files: Upload a STEP / STP for 3D and a PDF for the drawing when you have one. JPG and PNG work too. Max 50MB per file.
- Upload Your Parts: Drag and drop or browse. Add every part you want quoted in one session. No file yet? Use “Don’t have a file yet?” and describe the job.
- Select Material & Finish: Choose from the dropdowns. Finish options follow the material you pick. Laser marking is an add-on. Need something not listed? Select Other and describe it in notes.
- Specify Quantities: Enter a primary quantity for each part. Add extra quantity breaks if you want volume pricing — you’ll pick one when you order.
- Part Details & Notes: Optional part number and revision help us keep jobs straight. Use notes for tolerances, specials, or anything the model doesn’t show.Best Practice: If you need threads, do not model them in your CAD file. Leave the holes and call out thread details on your print or in notes.
- Review & Submit: Check files and options, then submit. Enter your work email on the form — no password, no separate signup screen.
- Save It With Your Email: We’ll send a one-time sign-in link so the quote lives in your portal. Already have an account? Sign in before you start to prefill your details.
- Get Your Quote: Standard STEP jobs show instant pricing. Drawing-only or custom requests go to the shop, and we follow up. Confirm the order in your portal when you’re ready.
Your files are secure and confidential. We never share your designs with third parties unless it's necessary to complete a specific production or finishing operation.
