Do you plan to develop more detailed manufacturability feedback for quoting? For example, too-thin walls or areas that may not be cleanly machined on a CNC part.

Also, any plans to add injection molding services in the future?

Yes! Both are on our roadmap. Right now it's possible to chat directly with the supplier to get professional human feedback as well, which will probably always be necessary. All suppliers there are highly professional. Do you find yourself looking to get automated manufacturability feedback often?

My experience is mostly with machined parts. In that context, I find it most helpful to know the part can be fully machined, or if not, where exactly the finished part will differ from the model. I'm sure this can be communicated in a direct conversation with a supplier, but I find it more convenient if this information can be part of the quote.

I'll be interested to see how your offering progresses!

Thanks so much. Yes, it makes perfect sense. Please do keep me posted if you need something specific, and in the meantime I will do my best to get the feedback in a fast-almost-automated way :) adar@jiga3d.com
