Quoting
Upload a STEP File, Get a Quote
From CAD export to real price, one upload.
Export a STEP file from any CAD package, upload it at the quote page, and a real person will read the model and send a quote within 24-48 hours. STP, STL, SLDPRT, PDF, and ZIP all work too. No account required, no minimum order.

What happens after you hit upload
Your file lands with the team, and a person opens it: checks the geometry, the material callout, the quantities, anything in your notes. Within 24-48 hours you get either a quote (price, material, lead time) or a specific question if something needs clarifying. No robo-estimate, no “a representative will contact you” limbo.
Why STEP is the favorite format
STEP (or STP, same thing) is the neutral exchange format every CAD package exports, and it carries exact geometry rather than a mesh approximation. That makes it the single most useful file you can send for a machined part.
What STEP doesn’t carry: tolerances, thread specs, and finish callouts. That’s the drawing’s job: pair the model with a 2D PDF print and the quote reflects everything that matters, first pass.
Other formats, handled honestly
SLDPRT works natively. STL is workable but it’s a mesh: fine for overall form, weak for precise features; send STEP instead when you can export it. DXF and DWG are right for flat laser-cut parts. A PDF drawing alone is often quotable. ZIP bundles cover multi-part jobs.
No CAD at all? A dimensioned sketch or a physical sample works: the team can build the model as part of the job.
Who sees your files
The person quoting the job. Your files are used to quote and make your parts (nothing else) and aren’t shared beyond what the job requires.
Questions
Before you send a job.
01 What file format gets the best quote?
A STEP model plus a PDF drawing. The model carries exact geometry; the drawing carries tolerances, threads, and finishes. Together they leave nothing to interpretation.
02 Is an STL file good enough?
For overall shape, yes; for precision features, not really: STL is a mesh approximation. If your CAD can export STEP, send that. If STL is all you have, send it with a drawing for the critical dimensions.
03 I have a model but no drawing, can I still get a quote?
Usually yes. Many parts quote fine from the model alone. If the part has critical fits, a print makes the tolerances real, and the team can build one for you if needed.
04 How do I send multiple parts?
One ZIP with everything: models, drawings, notes. It quotes as a single order and can ship together or in stages.
05 What if I can’t export a STEP file?
Send what you have: SLDPRT natively, or another format with a note. Worst case, the geometry gets rebuilt as a CAD task and you end up with proper files you own.
