Unterstützte CAD-Plattformen

SolidWorks

2019 – 2025

The industry standard for mechanical design. Our add-in integrates directly into the SolidWorks task pane, allowing you to upload your model, select materials and processes, and receive an instant quote without leaving your design environment.

Funktionen

  • One-click model upload from within SolidWorks
  • Automatic material and process recommendations based on geometry
  • Real-time pricing with DFM feedback on each feature
  • Thread detection and automatic tolerance assignment
  • Supports part and assembly files (.sldprt, .sldasm)

Installation

Download the .msi installer, double-click to install, then enable via Tools → Add-Ins in SolidWorks.

AutoCAD

2019 – 2025

For 2D and 3D AutoCAD users, our plugin extracts geometry from your drawings and prepares them for sheet metal fabrication quoting.

Funktionen

  • Extract 2D profiles for laser cutting and stamping quotes
  • Auto-recognition of standard sheet metal features
  • DXF/DWG export optimization for manufacturing
  • Layer-based process assignment (cut, etch, mark)
  • Batch processing: quote multiple parts from one drawing

Installation

Load via AutoCAD → App Manager → Browse → select the .bundle folder.

STEP/IGES Upload

Universell (Alle CAD-Systeme)

No plugin? No problem. Export STEP or IGES from any CAD system and upload directly to our web portal.

Funktionen

  • Works with any CAD software — no add-in required
  • Automatic geometry analysis and feature extraction
  • Instant DFM feedback on uploaded files
  • Batch upload: quote multiple parts simultaneously
  • Supported: STEP (.stp/.step), IGES (.igs/.iges), X_T, STL

Installation

No installation needed — export STEP from your CAD system and upload at /rfq.

Dateiformat-Referenz

Alle gängigen CAD-Formate werden unterstützt.

STEP (.stp/.step)
Best

Neutral 3D format — preserves solid geometry, assemblies, and product structure. Preferred for all platforms.

IGES (.igs/.iges)
Good

Widely compatible surface format. Loses some parametric data but works for geometry-only quoting.

Parasolid (.x_t/.x_b)
Best

High-fidelity solid model format used by NX, SolidWorks, and Solid Edge. Excellent geometry preservation.

STL (.stl)
Limited

Mesh format — loses feature recognition. Use only for visual reference or 3D-printed parts. STEP preferred.

Export-Tipps für beste Ergebnisse

  • • Always export in solid body mode, not surface — surface exports may fail feature recognition.
  • • Set export units to millimeters — our system auto-detects units, but mm is most reliable.
  • • For assemblies, export as a single STEP file with assembly structure preserved.
  • • Suppress cosmetic threads — export the hole diameter only; our system will detect thread specs from your drawing.
  • • Remove proprietary or internal-only features before exporting — export only the manufacturable geometry.
