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.
