DigiFabster Introduces AI-Powered Quote Agent to Simplify RFQs

Streamlining RFQ Processing for Sheet Metal, Machine Shops, and Additive Manufacturers.

For many machinists and manufacturing shop owners, RFQs are a constant headache. Emails pile up, CAD files need sorting, and critical details get buried in the shuffle. It’s a tedious process that eats away at time better spent keeping machines running or growing the business.

That’s why DigiFabster has launched its AI-Powered Quote Agent, designed to take the hassle out of RFQs. By helping shops handle requests more quickly and efficiently, this tool lightens the load for busy shop owners, estimators, and engineers.

How It Works

With DigiFabster’s AI Quote Agent, you can connect your RFQ inbox directly to the platform, letting the AI take care of the heavy lifting:

• Reads RFQ emailsand pulls out the important details.
• Uploads CAD files and drawingsinto the system.
• ⚙️Suggests materials, machines, and technologiesbased on your shop’s capabilities.
• Drafts a quotein DigiFabster, ready for review and approval.

In just a few minutes, you can finalize and send a professional quote — no more scrambling or juggling spreadsheets.

What’s Included

Right now, the AI can identify materials, machines, and quantities from RFQs and automatically create line items in your quotes. Future updates will add:

• Recognition of execution options like tolerances and priorities.
• Handling for cases where materials or machines don’t match your inventory.
• A Message Centerfor managing RFQ emails and non-CAD requests in one place.

Why It Matters

“Our goal is simple,” said Const Ivanov, Founder of DigiFabster. “We want to make quoting less painful. Shops work hard to deliver great results, and the last thing they need is to waste time digging through RFQs. The AI Quote Agent helps them stay organized and respond faster, so they can focus on what really matters.”

DigiFabster’s AI Approach

Unlike generalized quoting systems used by many marketplace platforms, DigiFabster takes a CAD geometry-driven approach to quoting. This means that instead of relying on averages or pre-defined datasets to generate quotes, DigiFabster analyzes the specific geometry of each part.

By focusing on the unique details of each design, DigiFabster allows shop owners to create quotes tailored to the complexity, material needs, and machining requirements of individual parts. This approach ensures greater accuracy and gives shops full control over pricing while keeping the workflow efficient and organized.

Secure and Reliable Data Handling

DigiFabster recognizes how critical data security is for manufacturing shops. That’s why we leverage AWS and GovCloud ITAR-compliant servers to securely store and manage all RFQ data. This ensures your shop’s sensitive information is protected to meet the highest security standards, which is especially important for ITAR-regulated work.
