Short answer. Upload a STEP file to the Axton quote tool and your price shows up in seconds. Pick metal or plastic and the grade, set the quantity, confirm the features and finish, and choose a lead time. Then pay by card, ask for an invoice, or forward the quote to your purchaser.
Getting a machined part quoted used to mean an RFQ email, a PDF drawing, and three days of waiting for a number.
Then a follow up call because the shop guessed the wrong finish.
We built our quote tool so engineers and buyers skip all of that. Here is every step, with the real screens.
The quote tool lives on our CNC machining page.
No account and no password. Your email is enough to get the quote.
Drop the file in the box or click to select it. The tool uploads it, reads the geometry, recognizes the features and prices it, usually in a few seconds.
Choose the material family first, then the exact grade. The price updates the moment you change it.
Use the plus and minus buttons. Setup cost is spread across the run, so the price per part drops fast.
Our sample bracket costs $72.84 for one. Ten cost $143.40, about $14 each.
The tool counts the holes, pockets and threads in your file. If a count is off, fix it with the plus and minus buttons and the price follows.
Our bracket has 6 holes. Confirming them moved the price for ten from $143.40 to $157.50.
Most parts don't need one. Attach a PDF or DXF when a feature is tighter than ISO 2768 medium, and we hold to the dimensions on your drawing.
Every option shows its price and the date your parts arrive. Shipping is estimated from weight and confirmed at checkout.
Most jobs are more than one part. Click “Add a part” and drop the next file. Each part keeps its own material, quantity and finish, and they all stay on one quote with one checkout.
This is the step most quote tools forget. The engineer builds the quote, but someone else signs the PO.
Click “Forward to a purchaser”, add their email and a short note. They get the live configuration, not a screenshot. No second upload, no re-pricing.
Enter where the parts ship and choose how to pay.
An Axton engineer reviews every order before cutting. Every price in the tool is an automated estimate until that sign off, and if anything about your part needs a second look, we call you first.
Then your parts run on our own robotic CNC cells in San Diego. The same machine tending automation we build for other shops loads our Haas, so your job keeps moving after the lights go off.
Every part goes through QC and inspection, then ships to any of the 50 states.
STEP files are priced in seconds. Other CAD formats are quoted by an engineer.
No. Your email is enough. You can create an account any time to keep all your quotes in one place.
Yes. Add each part as another file and they stay on one quote with one checkout.
Our standard is ±0.005 in. Tighter tolerances on specific features are possible with a drawing and are reviewed during quoting.
Yes. Setup cost is spread across the run. One sample bracket costs $72.84, ten cost $143.40.
Yes. Forward the quote to your purchaser and they can pay by card or request an invoice.
Uploads are encrypted and we never share your files. We sign an NDA on request.
Drop your STEP file and see what your part costs, with no forms and no phone calls.
We skipped Chicago to build the right machine. Now it's ready to meet you. Find us at FABTECH 2026 in Las Vegas.

In April we showed you the carousel. It worked. Then one question made us tear it up and start again.
