Tips for the most accurate instant quote
- Export STEP (AP214 or AP242) in millimetres — it carries exact solid geometry.
- Add a PDF drawing with tolerances, threads and finish callouts; AI reads it alongside the model.
- For flat parts, upload a DXF and enter the thickness — you can preview it extruded in 3D.
- One part per quote works best. Assemblies can be zipped and are reviewed by an engineer.
