AI quoting · CNC machining

AI quoting software for CNC machine shops

SeekMake uses AI to analyse the uploaded STEP and STL file, check whether it can be made and estimate the work involved. Your rates and margins then set the final price, so the quote is fast and still yours.

For a machined part, the useful first read is its size, the stock it needs, its features and the work involved. AI trained on more than 10 million real parts does that read on every upload. What an hour costs on your machines, and the margin you want, still come from you.

The problem

Fast quotes used to mean rough quotes

Rule-of-thumb pricingfast but risky

  • Prices based on size or weight only
  • Complex parts priced like simple ones
  • Losses on hard jobs
  • Overpriced easy jobs lost

AI-assisted pricingfast and detailed

  • Geometry analysed in detail
  • Complexity reflected in the price
  • Your margins protected
  • Simple parts priced competitively

FAQ

Questions shops ask before switching

Does the AI set my prices?

No. The AI analyses the part. Your rates and margins set the price.

What is the AI trained on?

SeekMake's pricing AI is trained on more than 10 million real manufacturing parts.

Can I override an AI-assisted quote?

Yes. You can edit any quote before or after it is sent.

Can the AI estimate the machining work?

Yes. It estimates the work involved in making the part, and your machine rates turn that into a price.

Will the AI price parts I don't want to make?

Your rules decide what is priced automatically. Parts outside them go to a manual quote request that you handle from the dashboard.

Which files can customers upload?

STEP and STL files. The part is checked and measured automatically when it is uploaded.

How much does SeekMake cost?

There is a free plan to start. Paid plans add more features, lower fees on online orders and priority support.
