Case Study: German Industrial Plastics Manufacturer speeds CNC quoting with DigiFabster

DigiFabster partners with leading German industrial plastics manufacturer to automate their CNC quotes

German Industrial Plastics Manufacturer, a leading German producer of industrial low-friction plastics, needed a faster way to quote CNC machining jobs. While they already used an in-house automated quoting tool for 3D printing, CNC quotes were still handled manually and could take up to five days, so they looked for a partner to help them automate this process. They chose DigiFabster and its Quick Quote/eCommerce solution to support CNC quoting.

DigiFabster worked with the company to co-develop, test, and implement a customized CNC quoting tool integrated into their existing workflows, with manual checks reserved for especially complex jobs. The result was a much faster quoting process, cutting quote turnaround from 1–5 days to 4–24 hours and reducing calculation time to minutes. Since launching, the company has seen increased RFQs, 200–300 uploaded models per week, and a 50% increase in outside inquiries using the DigiFabster tool in the current quarter.
