These guys are on to something… Download their free CAD software, draw your part, spec a material from it’s database and it auto-analyzes and cost-quotes the job. Then you click “order” and wait for your part in the mail.
I heard they’re adding an “auto industrial design” button next.
(kidding.)
is a similar service, they have plugins for a meriad of commonly used 3D applications. that quote from SEVERAL service bureaus.
so give them a shot. I’ve been using their quotes for some time now, never ordered. Just got quotes so I can better judge the student deals I was getting and approximate them. Very good prices by the way imo.
