How does Madeinair’s AI quoting engine work?
TL;DR
- Upload a file; AI extracts geometry, material, and features.
- It runs DFM, estimates machine time, and matches factory pricing.
- A production-ready quote returns in minutes.
Madeinair's AI quoting engine works by reading your uploaded CAD file (STEP, STL, PDF, or DWG), extracting its geometry, material, and features, then automatically estimating how to make it, how long that takes, and what it costs — returning a production-ready quote in minutes.
The engine runs DFM analysis, selects compatible processes and materials, simulates machine time, and matches pricing from the global factory network. Because it computes from the real model rather than a human guess, quotes are fast, consistent, and close to the final price.
Frequently asked questions
What files can I upload?
STEP, STL, PDF, or DWG, with native CAD accepted where supported.
Does it show its reasoning?
Yes — DFM feedback explains manufacturability issues and their cost impact.
How fast is it?
Minutes, from upload to a complete quote.
