Order and production management for metal 3D printing services
After the customer orders, SeekMake keeps the job moving: each order carries its files, price breakdown and delivery date, moves across a production board, prints as a work order and ends with an invoice.
After a metal build finishes, the parts still go through several steps: stress relief, removal from the build plate, support removal, then blasting, machining or polishing. Each step can happen at a different station, which makes orders easy to lose track of. A production board by status and by machine shows where every order sits, and the work order lists the options the customer chose.
