Quoting and order operations for 3D printing

From CAD upload
to an approved, trackable order.

Oqta3D analyzes geometry, checks manufacturability and applies your pricing logic. Customers get a clear buying experience; your team keeps control of commercial risk and fulfillment.

The customer experience gap

Why qualified customers leave before asking for a quote

They may trust your production quality and still choose another supplier. The difference is often not the part or the price; it is how quickly they can move from a CAD file to a confident decision.

When pricing starts in the inbox

Manual journey
  1. Find a contact addressThe buying journey leaves your website.
  2. Explain the part by emailCAD files, quantities and expectations arrive unstructured.
  3. Wait for engineering and pricingThe customer has no price, lead time or visible progress.
  4. Compare whoever replied firstResponse speed becomes part of the purchasing decision.
The opportunity becomes an email thread you cannot see or measure.

When Oqta3D is on your site

Connected journey
  1. Upload the CAD fileThe request begins inside your own customer journey.
  2. See DFM, price and lead timeYour geometry and pricing rules run in one flow.
  3. Approve the commercial offerStandard work moves forward; exceptions remain under team control.
  4. Track the orderThe customer follows production and shipment without another thread.
A faster customer experience without giving up pricing or margin control.

From upload to order in three steps

No forms to fill before the price is known. Drop a file and see the number.

01

Upload a CAD file

Your customer drags in a STEP, STL, IGES, OBJ, 3MF, PLY or GLB. STEP and IGES give the most accurate results.

02

Get DFM and a price

Wall thickness, overhang, watertight and build-fit are checked automatically, with a live price and lead time.

03

Order and track

Approve the quote and follow production from submission to delivery, with status updates along the way.

One workflow for customers, sales and production

Instant pricing is the start. Oqta3D keeps the request, commercial decision, customer approval and delivery connected.

Customer experience

A clear path from quote to delivery

Customer quote portal

Customers review quotes, approve the commercial offer and follow order and shipment status without another email thread.

One-click PDF quote

A branded, forward-ready PDF in one click. 3D thumbnail, cost breakdown and terms included.

Sales control

Review exceptions, not every quote

Commercial guardrails

Flag price deviations, low margin and risky DFM results for review before a quote reaches the customer.

Pricing logic you control

Set materials, machines, labour, waste, quantity discounts and geometry-driven expert surcharges without hiding the calculation.

Operations

Keep every handoff visible

Action-based work queues

Requests, quotes and orders are grouped by what needs attention, what is waiting and what is complete.

Email to quote

Email in, quote out. Requests are picked up, logged to CRM and quoted without retyping.

Controlled AI and data

Choose what AI may inspect and whether processing stays local. Schedule CAD deletion and review the staff access trail.

Microsoft Dynamics 365

Keep customers, contacts, opportunities, quotes and orders aligned through a monitored synchronization queue.

Your website. Your commercial rules.

Instant pricing and a customer portal, presented as one branded experience

Bring CAD upload, DFM feedback, quoting, approval and order tracking into your own customer journey. Oqta3D applies your catalog and pricing configuration while your team controls exceptions and commercial risk.

The Oqta3D difference

Not just a quote calculator. A controlled path to the order.

Generic forms collect a request. Standalone calculators return a number. Oqta3D connects manufacturability, pricing, commercial approval and fulfillment in one traceable workflow.

Manufacturability checks, built into every quote

Spot geometry risks before quoting. Oqta3D maps each finding onto the model and presents the checks in one review.

Visual issue map 8 automated checks
DFM issues highlighted on the 3D model
Problem regions are highlighted directly on the model so the affected faces and edges are clear before quoting.

Manufacturability checks

Passes and risks are presented in one consistent review.

Build volume fit

From manual handoffs to a controlled quote flow

The difference is not a stopwatch. It is whether every input, decision and approval stays connected.

Plugs into the tools you already use

Oqta3D connects CAD intake, customer quoting and your commercial workflow without forcing the team to re-enter the same information.

Works with every major CAD tool

Your customers export STEP, IGES, STL, OBJ, 3MF, PLY, GLB or DAE from SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Onshape, Inventor, CATIA or FreeCAD. Oqta3D reads them all.

Embeddable quote experience

Place the customer quote flow inside your own site and keep your catalog, pricing and buying experience together.

REST API

Connect file intake, quotes, DFM results and orders to a custom storefront or internal workflow.

Microsoft Dynamics 365

Synchronize customer, contact, opportunity, quote and order records through a monitored retry queue.

Security and access controls built in, not bolted on

Every file, every AI decision and every quote leaves a trail your team can review.

Two-step verification

Staff sign-in requires a second factor, not just a password.

Scheduled CAD deletion

Set a retention window; original CAD files are purged automatically once it passes.

Full staff access trail

Every view, download and edit of a customer's files is logged and reviewable.

Per-file AI consent

Customers and your tenant policy jointly decide what AI may see, and whether it stays local, file by file.

Frequently asked questions

3D printing services, on-demand manufacturers and design teams that want to give customers an instant price instead of an email thread.

STL, STEP, IGES, OBJ, 3MF, PLY, GLB and DAE. STEP and IGES give the most accurate geometry, DFM and pricing.

Analysis starts when the file is uploaded. Processing time depends on file format, size and geometry complexity.

Build volume fit, wall thickness, overhang and supports, watertightness and non-manifold edges, each flagged on the model before ordering.

Yes. The quote experience uses your catalog and pricing configuration and can be embedded in your customer journey.

Use the embeddable quote experience or connect through the REST API. Setup depends on your catalog, pricing rules and integration scope.

Oqta3D supports scheduled CAD-file deletion, role-based access, two-step verification and an access trail. AI use can be restricted by tenant policy and customer choice.
