Case Study: MetShape achieves up to 70% faster quote delivery with 3D Spark

MetShape Achieves up to 70% Reduction in Quote Delivery Time Through Integration of 3D Spark and ERP Software

MetShape GmbH, a specialized provider of sinter-based additive manufacturing, faced significant challenges in its quoting process. Their teams were spending excessive time manually analyzing 3D CAD files and 2D drawings to determine the feasibility and cost of parts, a process that was slow, error-prone, and limited their responsiveness. The vendor, 3D Spark, provided its software platform to address this core challenge.

By implementing 3D Spark’s AI-powered platform, which automates manufacturability and cost analysis, MetShape integrated the solution with its ERP software via an API. This allowed for the automatic generation of smart quotes based on real production data. The results for the customer were substantial, including a reduction in quote delivery time of up to 70%, the elimination of three other software tools previously needed for quoting, and a 100% reduction in effort spent on unsuitable requests. This significantly improved workflow efficiency and freed up resources for more value-added activities.
