About Machine Research

Machine Research is estimating and quoting software for CNC and precision machine shops, built inside a working machine shop and serving regulated shops for over a decade, from Tualatin, Oregon13. It has a 3D viewer for many CAD formats, a search for geometrically similar past parts, assembly estimating and machine-learning time estimates, all hosted in AWS GovCloud23.

Pick Machine Research if

  • Your customers require CMMC Level 2 or FedRAMP-level hosting from every vendor that touches CUI.
  • Your models come in CATIA, X_T or SLDPRT formats rather than STEP.
  • You'd rather time estimates come from a model trained on your past jobs than from formulas you can edit.

Pick QuotedPart if

  • You want to see the price before you talk to anyone, and start today without a card.
  • Many RFQs come with only a PDF print, or the print is where the material, finish and tolerances are.
  • You run JobBOSS² or JobBOSS, or want ITAR files encrypted before they leave your browser.

What QuotedPart does

  • RFQs by email forwarding, your own RFQ page, or drag and drop
  • PDF drawings read for part number, revision, material, finish, tolerances, threads and notes
  • STEP and IGES models measured in your browser: stock, holes, pockets, setups, turned features, sheet thickness and bends
  • A routing on your own work centers and rates, with setup and run minutes for every operation, all editable
  • Every quantity break priced, with cost, margin and lead time
  • A quote page with your logo where the buyer picks a quantity and accepts with a PO, or a PDF
  • Won quotes become orders; actual hours show where each work center runs over or under; similar parts you quoted before show up next to the new one

About the team and the company

Quoting software for bigger shops is sold through demos, setup fees and multi-year contracts. We think a small shop should be able to see the price, run a part it has already quoted, and decide in an afternoon.

If a quote comes out wrong, email me the part. We'll look at it with you and fix the estimate.
