Are you disappointed with the delays in receiving quotations from online for your product designs? If so, then read on, because DigiFabster has launched an eCommerce platform that allows rapid quotes for your CNC Machined parts and 3D printed wares in a fashion that is being described as the “Shopify for the manufacturing industry“.

DigiFabster

DigiFabster is a CNC and AM service provider based out of Pasedena, California, and they have launched their eCommerce platform that promises to reduce the time for quotations on CNC and AM manufactured parts.

The goal of the platform is to enable manufacturing companies of all sizes to switch to an online platform, to capitalise on the innovations offered by the growing digital manufacturing front. The plug-and-play, white label, software-as-a-service (SaaS) allows customers to upload models and place orders super quick, and it helps manufacturing shops of all sizes to increase their revenue in the rapidly changing industry that is CNC and AM.

Online Shopping for CNC and AM

The pandemic has certainly seen engineers turn to an online approach in terms of getting things manufactured and delivered without the hassle of human interaction, and this new platform promises to optimize things further.

According to the press release, 80% of customers opt to work with the shop that was first to respond to an RFQ. This can be confirmed on an individual level, as when shopping for CNC work on sites such as AliBaba, I can 100% confirm that most of my custom goes to the manufacturer that responds the quickest (and with the most detail on costs).

In their work with hundreds of machine shops in the CNC and AM sectors, DigiFabster has seen how important concepts such as efficiency and speed are to today’s customers. To address these needs, they have created an online platform to deliver fast quotes for all your CNC and AM needs.

“Providing your customers with a fast and easy way to place an order with your business is table stakes these days,” said Constantine Ivanov, CEO of DigiFabster..

“We set out to create a ‘Shopify’ for the manufacturing industry so any shop of any size can stay competitive.”
