Professional Quotes
No more building quotes by hand.
Turn your estimate into a polished, branded, ready-to-send quote instantly — no formatting, no rework.
Estimate becomes a branded quote automatically
Sent as a secure link, no attachments to manage
Every quote searchable and exportable to your ERP
sloppy-looking quotes can make customers second-guess a good price.
Formatting a quote by hand, pulling numbers, building a PDF, adding your logo and terms, eats up time you don't have and can produce something that looks like it was rushed, because it was.
Professional Quotes turns every estimate into a polished, branded document so your shop stands out.
From estimate to buyer-ready quote — instantly
Branded, not generic
Add your logo, custom message, buyer notes, and terms — every quote looks like it came from your shop, not a template.
Instant, not assembled
Your estimate automatically becomes a fully formatted quote with part image, pricing, quantities, and part details included. No extra document to build.
Sent and tracked, not attached
Email a secure, auto-generated PDF link. No attachments to manage, and every quote stays searchable in your system.
Everything your shop needs to quote faster — in one connected platform.
Upload CAD, PDFs, or drawing files individually or in batches — and see the actual 3D part in your browser, no CAD license required. Rotate, measure, section, and analyze geometry before your estimator writes a single number. Supports STEP, CATIA, X_T, SLDPRT, and 10 more file types.
Visually search your part library for geometrically similar jobs. Pull up prior costing and pricing data instantly and use it as the foundation for the new estimate. Stop re-quoting parts you’ve already priced — and stop sending inconsistent prices to the same customer.
Every customer request flows in from your website or email automatically — organized, secure, and ready to estimate. No lost files, no manual re-entry, no inbox archaeology.
Every part file, drawing, quote, revision, and communication in one ITAR/FedRAMP-aligned system. Nothing lost. Everything traceable. When a similar RFQ comes in, the history is right there.
Real machine learning — trained on your actual job data — analyzes 3D part geometry and generates programming, setup, and run time estimates in seconds. Not a formula. A model that gets smarter as your data grows.
In-app messaging, tasks, and approvals keep the team aligned. Tribal knowledge stays captured with the job — not in someone’s head. Anyone on your team can pick up where someone else left off.
Assembly Estimating
Quote complete assemblies — not just individual parts. Machine Research supports STEP, SLDASM, CATPRODUCT, and NX files, bringing the same AI-powered estimating capability to multi-component jobs. One of the only quoting platforms with a true assembly solution.
Send polished, branded quotes in minutes. First quote on their desk. Best-looking quote in their inbox. Speed plus professionalism equals competitive edge.
Quotes that build confidence before the sale.

Richard Moquin, Capital Machining
Not only have we significantly decreased our turn times on estimating jobs and generating quotes with Machine Research, but we’ve increased our accuracy rates, we’re far more organized and confident in our pricing, and we send quotes that look professional within minutes.

Josh Cleary, American Manufacturing Excellence
Before Machine Research, quoting lived in our owner’s head and in endless Excel sheets. Now it’s organized, consistent, and our quotes look sharp and professional.
