Online ordering · CNC machining
An online ordering system for CNC machine shops
SeekMake turns your website into an online store for CNC machining. Customers upload STEP and STL files, get a price, add parts to a cart and pay by card, PayPal or bank transfer. The order lands in your dashboard ready for production.
Engineers and small companies often want to order a few machined parts the way they buy anything else online: see the price, pay, done. Larger customers want a purchase order and their usual terms. Online ordering lets you serve both, and each order arrives in your dashboard with its files and price breakdown.
