Prototek has unveiled an AI-enhanced upgrade to its Instant Quoting platform, designed to streamline CNC machining projects. Developed by the company’s in-house tech team, the new system combines machine learning with user-friendly functionality, allowing engineers and buyers to receive immediate quotes by simply dragging and dropping CAD files.
Seamless Integration with Expert Support
The platform offers a dual approach to project estimation:
- Automated instant quotes for standard projects
- Direct engineer consultation for complex requirements
With access to 90+ materials and surface finishes, the system provides tailored solutions while maintaining the option for human expertise when needed.
Enhanced Customer Collaboration Tools
Beyond basic quoting, the platform enables users to save quotes, manage orders, and collaborate directly with Prototek’s engineering team. This integrated approach helps identify potential production issues early, reducing risks before large-scale manufacturing begins.
Future-Proof Digital Transformation
Prototek plans continuous platform enhancements, with upcoming phases promising expanded customization and additional manufacturing services. The current rollout focuses on CNC machining, building upon the company’s existing instant quoting capabilities for additive manufacturing.
Optimizing the Manufacturing Workflow
“Our goal is to remove friction from the prototyping and production process,” said a Prototek spokesperson. By combining AI efficiency with human expertise, the platform bridges the gap between digital convenience and specialized manufacturing knowledge, potentially reducing development timelines for complex projects.
