Quoting
CNC Quotes in 24–48 Hours
A real person reads your files and gets you a real number.
Send a 2D PDF drawing or a 3D STEP file and a real person will read it and send back a real quote — price, material, and lead time — usually within 24–48 hours. No portal to set up, no minimum order, and every part is inspected before it ships.

What “24–48 hours” actually means here
A person opens your model, reads your print, checks the material and quantities, and prices the job. The number you get is the number — not an instant algorithmic estimate that gets revised once a human finally looks at the file.
And when a job genuinely needs longer — an exotic material to source, a print that needs a conversation — you hear that within the same 24–48 hours, instead of silence while your deadline burns.
What to send for the fastest quote
The ideal package is a STEP model plus a PDF drawing, with material, quantity, and any date you’re working against. The quote form takes STEP, STP, STL, and SLDPRT models, PDF drawings, and ZIP bundles for multi-part jobs.
Quantity is worth a sentence of thought: ask for pricing at one quantity and that’s what you get; ask for 1, 10, and 25 and you see the whole curve in one quote.
What comes back
Price, material, and lead time — standard is 4–6 weeks, rush is 1–2 weeks — plus anything on the print worth flagging. If a tolerance or finish callout is quietly expensive, the quote says so and suggests the cheaper equivalent. That DFM feedback is included, not an add-on.
What slows a quote down — and what happens instead
The usual culprits: no material callout, a model with obvious precision fits but no drawing to define them, or two revisions in the same ZIP with no word on which is current. When something’s ambiguous you get a question, not a guess — a quote built on assumptions is how parts arrive wrong, and nobody here is interested in that.
Questions
Before you send a job.
01 Is the quote automated?
No — a person reads every file before a number exists. That’s slower than an instant estimate by a few hours and better than one by a wide margin: the quote reflects your actual print, including the parts of it an algorithm skips.
02 What if I only have a model and no drawing?
Often still quotable — many parts can be priced from the model alone. Critical fits and tolerances need a print to be meaningful; if you don’t have one, the team can build it as a quick CAD task.
03 Does a quote cost anything?
No. Quoting is free, DFM flags included, whether or not you order.
04 What makes a quote come back faster?
Material named, quantity stated, deadline flagged, and one current revision per part. That package usually quotes same-day or next-day.
05 What happens after I approve?
Approve by ACH, wire, or company check — POs welcome from established businesses. Your parts get made, inspected against your print, and shipped with tracking.
