Machine Research helps manufacturers overcome challenges with maximizing their profitability by providing affordable, fast and accurate quoting solutions
Machine Research was founded in 2014 with the mission of helping growing machine shops leverage their existing information assets to run more efficiently and make better business decisions. Since then, nearly 20,000 users around the world have signed up for our free software.
Our Quote It 3D software helps machine shops who want to grow their sales and estimation teams to consistently respond faster to RFQs without sacrificing accuracy. Our software enables front office teams to immediately view 3D files on any device and quickly create estimates and produce consistent, visually appealing quotes that are easy to track.
Unlike traditional estimating methods that require manually piecing together data from multiple sources, our QuoteIt 3D software uses ShapeSearch intelligence to find similar projects and leverage data from prior quotes and estimates, as well as customer intelligence, to help companies set the right price for the right business.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Custom manufacturing is changing. In the past customers would hand me drawings or prints to work from but now everything is communicated with 3D CAD models which I often can’t open. Machine Research solves that problem for me by letting me see everything my customers send on my phone or laptop. This has eliminated a huge frustration in opening and viewing CAD files.
