AI quoting · Sheet metal

AI quoting software for sheet metal shops

SeekMake uses AI to analyse the uploaded STEP and DXF 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.

Pricing a bent part means reading the geometry: flat size, number of bends, cut length, holes and features that slow down the brake or need extra handling. Doing that by hand for every RFQ eats estimator time. AI analysis handles that first read of the STEP or DXF file, and the result is then priced through the rates and margins you have set.

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.

Does AI quoting help with parts that need many bends?

The AI analyses the uploaded file and estimates the work involved, including the geometry that drives bending effort. Your own rates then turn that estimate into a price.

What if the AI estimate looks wrong for a sheet metal part?

You can review and edit any quote before it goes out, and parts that the rules can't price go to a manual quote request that you price from the dashboard.

Which files can customers upload?

STEP and DXF 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.
