Automate Pricing for Traditional & Additive Manufacturing with Internal Quotation

As Industry 4.0 reshapes the manufacturing landscape, many companies are expanding beyond traditional processes to offer additive manufacturing (AM) services. However, pricing both traditional and AM parts—and their post‑processing—remains a complex challenge.

What does this convergence mean for your pricing strategy?

Automation: The Future of Manufacturing

When a firm provides disparate technologies such as vacuum casting and SLS, creating a unified, efficient pricing workflow can be daunting. By deploying an automated quotation system, you can generate accurate, consistent quotes in minutes, eliminating manual labor and reducing errors.

Introducing Internal Quotation

Our new Internal Quotation feature streamlines sales by automatically generating quotations for both traditional and additive manufacturing methods. In addition to AM technologies, you can price parts produced via:

• Vacuum casting
• Silicone tooling
• Injection moulding

And when it comes to post‑processing, every business has a unique model. Internal Quotation lets you create custom fields so you can price each service—surface finishing, painting, or post‑processing—according to your proprietary formula.

The Transformation of Manufacturing

The manufacturing sector is undergoing a radical shift: additive manufacturing is not a replacement but a complementary, cost‑effective alternative that enhances traditional methods. Embracing this shift—and integrating automation—ensures competitiveness in the Industry 4.0 era.
