Introducing AutoQuote3D - Instant 3D Printing Quoting Tool
Introducing AutoQuote3D: Simplifying 3D Printing Quotes
At AutoQuote3D, we’re driven by a shared passion for both software engineering and 3D printing. Our team, made up of enthusiastic 3D printing experts and seasoned engineers, brings decades of experience in 3D printing sales, quoting, and manufacturing to the table.
In the fast-paced world of additive manufacturing, one of the most common pain points is the process of quoting and managing print jobs. We’ve seen this firsthand, and that’s why we’ve built a solution that’s streamlined, cost-effective, and tailored specifically for 3D printing service bureaus.
What Problem Are We Solving?
Current 3D printing quoting solutions tend to be either overly complex or come with a hefty price tag—often due to poor infrastructure and unnecessary overhead. Many services pass on these costs to users, which makes it harder for smaller businesses to compete.
Our software is different. We focus on simplicity and efficiency without sacrificing quality. By keeping infrastructure costs low and automating much of the quoting process, we’re able to offer our service at just $15 a month—a fraction of what most platforms charge.
How Does It Work?
With AutoQuote3D, providing instant quotes for 3D printing has never been easier. Here’s how it works:
- Upload Files: Clients upload their 3D files along with print parameters.
- Quote Generation: The system processes the files, slices them based on your pre-set quoting parameters, and generates an instant quote.
- Payment Link: Clients receive a detailed quote, and if they're ready to proceed, a payment link is provided to complete the order.
The result? Fast, accurate quotes that eliminate the back-and-forth, letting you focus on what you do best—printing.
Secure
We use secure file hosting powered by CloudFlare R2 and we use Stripe for anything that deals with money. We never store any customer related payment information in our databases.
Payments
We've leveraged Stripe's Connected Account technology to make sure that customer payments go directly to you. After a brief business onboarding experience using Stripe, we make sure that any payments made by your customers go directly to your account. Besides Stripe's standard processing fees, AutoQuote3D will never charge you a transaction fee.
Supported Technologies
Currently, our software supports FFF/FDM, SLA, and limited support for SLS. We’re constantly improving our offering and expanding machine compatibility, so stay tuned for more features and broader support in the near future.
Managing Jobs
Managing your print jobs is a breeze with our intuitive dashboard. Quotes, paid invoices, and job statuses are all available at a glance, ensuring you stay on top of your business without getting bogged down in manual admin work.
Why $15 a Month?
You might be wondering how we can offer such a low price. The answer is simple: We’ve cut out the fluff. By focusing on robust infrastructure and a user-friendly platform, we’ve built a system that practically sells itself—no need for bloated sales teams or unnecessary costs.
