Whether you are uploading a CAD file or creating an assembly, SecturaFAB has the option for you to complete your quote quickly and accurately. Get started with the basics, learn how to start, and send a quote to your customer. Begin by watching the video and following the guide.
Start a quote by selecting the new quote action block from your dashboard. Fill in the organization and quote details.
Use CAD Files for PDFs, STEP, or DXF files. Find out more about uploading these files in our resource center. The Shape Library can also be used to upload parts when your customer does not provide a file. Explore additional resources on the shape library here.
Next, clean up any CAD file during geometry cleanup. Select "Edit DXF" for more options or use the quick action menu to remove contours, add bend lines, and more. For more information on geometry cleanup explore our resource center.
Finally, adjust properties. Change machine, material, quantity, and price. Learn more about how to adjust properties in our resource center.
