Instant CNC Quote from Your 2D Drawing
Three steps to a reference price: upload your 2D PDF, choose the material, enter the quantity. We read the drawing in your browser — it is never uploaded — and show the unit price and total instantly. Send the drawing afterwards for freight, lead time and an itemised quote.
Step 1 · Upload 2D Drawing (PDF)
Upload a drawing to auto-fill the details, or just set the material and quantity yourself. No account, no email — your file never leaves your browser.
We read the geometry and quantity from your drawing. Just confirm material and quantity — everything else is estimated automatically.

Are My Drawings Safe Here?
Yes — and not as a promise, but by design. When you upload your 2D PDF, it is opened by software running on your device. It is never sent to our server to produce the estimate. Here is exactly what happens, and what you can do to stay in control.
🔒 Parsed in your browser
Your 2D PDF is opened by pdf.js running locally on your computer. The file is never transmitted to any FSCPRECISION server during the estimate step.
👁 You see it, we don't
At the estimate stage we receive nothing — no file, no geometry. We only ever see a drawing if you choose to attach it when submitting a formal quote.
📊 Only anonymous stats
The tool sends a generic event (material type + quantity) to our analytics so we can improve it. No file, no geometry, no part identity ever leaves your machine.
How to protect your IP when you do share files
- Use the instant estimate first (zero risk). You get a rough number without sending us anything. Only share files when you're ready to move forward.
- Ask for an NDA before any exchange. We sign NDAs without fuss — download our free NDA template or email info@ataimeisen.com and we'll send one.
- Share only what the quote needs. The drawing is enough. Hold back the full BOM, internal part numbers and supplier names unless they matter for the quote.
- Mark drawings "Confidential — Quote only". If a title block carries a sensitive project name, watermark it or strip it before sending.
- Send by the channel you trust. Email files straight to info@ataimeisen.com — you control the thread, not a third-party uploader.
What the Tool Can't See
Real part depth
A 2D view hides depth — wall thickness, hole depth, internal cavities. Two parts the same size can differ 10x in cycle time. We assume a conservative fill factor to keep the estimate honest.
Fixturing
An odd shape may need a custom fixture or 5-axis setup, changing both setup cost and how many faces you get in one hold.
Special tooling
Unusual threads, internal splines or very small diameters can need dedicated tooling the tool can't know about from a drawing.
Final confirmation
The reference number is confirmed by an engineer when you send the files — that step is what turns an estimate into a quote you can buy against.
For the full arithmetic behind these lines, see how CNC machining cost is calculated. If your number looks high, the fastest fixes are fewer setups and a looser tolerance where the function allows.
From estimate to real number
Send the drawing and we'll quote it itemised — material, machining, setup, inspection and finishing as separate lines. If something in the design drives cost without adding function, we'll flag it in the quote.
