Quoting software · Metal 3D printing

Metal 3D printing quoting and estimating software

SeekMake is quoting and estimating software for metal 3D printing services. It reads the uploaded STL, OBJ and 3MF file, applies your material costs, machine rates and margins, and produces a quote you can send, edit or let the customer order directly.

An estimate for a laser powder bed part has more moving pieces than most processes: alloy price, part volume, support volume, build height, plate removal and any machining of critical faces. Two estimators can easily land on different numbers for the same STL. Quoting software runs every file through one set of rules, so a 316L bracket costs the same whoever prices it.

The problem

  • Rates change and old quotes don't
  • Quotes live in email attachments
  • Nobody knows which quotes turned into orders

SeekMake quotingone source of truth

  • Change a rate once, every new quote uses it
  • Every quote saved with its file and price breakdown
  • Quote-to-order rate in your reports

FAQ

Questions shops ask before switching

Can my team share one set of rates?

Yes. Rates, materials and margins live in your SeekMake account, so every quote uses the same rules.

Can I edit an automatic quote before sending it?

Yes. You can change prices, add lines, apply a discount or add a note before you send the quote.

Can customers order directly from a quote?

Yes. The customer opens the quote online, accepts it and pays by card, PayPal or bank transfer.

Can I give titanium and aluminium their own powder prices?

Yes. Each alloy has its own price in your rules, so a titanium part reflects your powder cost and an AlSi10Mg part reflects its own.

Can I add a material certificate as a line on the quote?

Yes. A material certificate can be set up as an option with its own price, or added as an extra line when you edit the quote.

Which files can customers upload?

STL, OBJ and 3MF files. The print 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.
