At 3DSPRO, we know that quoting is the first step toward turning your ideas into reality. That’s why we’ve reimagined the experience on Squote, which is a smarter, more transparent system designed to save you time, reduce friction, and give you confidence in every order.
Key Improvements in Squote
1. Quote History at Your Fingertips
• What’s new: Instantly revisit past quotes without digging through emails or re-uploading files.
• How it helps: Pick up exactly where you left off, compare past configurations, or reorder with ease.
2. Collapsible Material Categories
• What’s new: A flexible toggle lets you place the material navigation button on either the left or right side.
• How it helps: Navigate faster by jumping directly to the material series you need with a single click.
3. Smart Post-Processing Alerts
• What’s new: Helpful pop-ups explain special requirements (e.g., when a 2D file is needed).
• Visual cues: Red exclamation marks flag unfinished tasks.
• How it helps: Notes and reminders ensure nothing slips through the cracks, so your order is always complete and accurate.
4. Manual Quotation Options
• What’s new: Some projects require human confirmation for complex post-processing.
• How it helps: It clearly indicates when a manual quote is needed, giving you complete insight into the pricing process.
5. Threading/Tapping Multi-Piece Pricing
• What’s new: When selecting threading or tapping for multiple parts, price breaks are displayed right next to the option.
• How it helps: You can make informed decisions about post-processing costs without extra steps.
How to Use Squote Effectively
Step 1. Start a New Quote
• Upload your file(s): Begin by dragging and dropping your 3D model into the upload area.
• Tip: If you’re working with multiple parts, upload them together to take advantage of batch discounts and multi‑piece pricing.
Step 2. Navigate Materials with Ease
• Use the collapsible categories: Place the material navigation panel on the left or right, depending on your preference.
• Jump directly: Click once to go straight to the material series you need, instead of scrolling through long lists.
Step 3. Pay Attention to Post‑Processing Alerts
• Pop‑ups: These will notify you if a 2D drawing is required or if certain finishes need extra details.
• Red exclamation marks: These flag incomplete steps that must be resolved before checkout.
• Notes & reminders: Use these as a checklist to ensure your order is fully compliant.
• Why it matters: Addressing alerts early prevents delays and ensures accurate lead times.
Step 4. Understand Manual Quotation Options
• Automatic vs. manual: Most quotes are generated instantly, but some complex post‑processing steps require human review.
• Clear indicators: Squote highlights when a manual quote is needed.
• Best practice: Submit these requests early to allow time for review without delaying your project.
Step 5. Review Pricing Transparency
• Threading/tapping multi‑piece pricing: When selecting these options, you’ll see price breaks displayed directly next to the selection.
• Why it matters: You can instantly make informed decisions without guesswork.
Step 6. Revisit and Reuse Past Quotes
• Quote History tab: Access all your previous quotes in one place.
• Quick reorder: Select a past configuration and generate a new quote instantly.
• Comparison: Use history to evaluate how pricing or material choices have changed over time.
• Pro tip: Keep a record of “baseline” quotes for recurring projects to speed up repeat orders.
Step 7. Finalize with Confidence
• Check alerts one last time: Make sure no red markers remain.
• Confirm pricing status: Ensure all manual quotations are either approved or clearly marked as pending.
• Proceed to order: Once everything is green‑lit, you can place your order knowing the details are accurate and transparent.
