The software company SeekMake offers a browser-based quoting platform aimed at automating price calculations in additive manufacturing workflows. The SaaS solution is designed for manufacturers who want to reduce the manual workload associated with handling CAD files, responding to RFQs, and managing order-related communication.
At the core of SeekMake’s system is an AI-based pricing engine that evaluates 3D model data in formats like STL or STEP. It performs automated manufacturability checks and calculates production costs in real time, factoring in machine capabilities, material types, and post-processing requirements. Supported manufacturing methods include FDM, SLS, MJF, SLA, and CNC machining. Quoting results can be embedded via API or displayed directly on customer-facing websites.
The platform also integrates with existing ERP and CRM systems and provides a centralized interface for managing quotes, order tracking, and customer communication. This reduces the need for parallel tools or manual status updates. File transfers are encrypted, and the company states that it complies with GDPR and is working toward SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certification.
SeekMake targets companies seeking to streamline quoting processes and increase responsiveness without making changes to their existing production infrastructure.
Interview with CEO Adel Ayari
In an interview with 3Druck.com, SeekMake CEO and co-founder Adel Ayari discusses how digital quoting tools are reshaping workflows in additive manufacturing. He highlights key challenges manufacturers face during digital transformation and shares insights into the role of AI, automation, and data security in building more responsive, efficient production systems.
How has the demand for on-demand manufacturing evolved — and how are manufacturers changing the way they quote and fulfill orders?
SeekMake CEO Adel Ayari
Over the past few years, on-demand manufacturing has shifted from a convenience to a competitive necessity. Speed, transparency, and automation are no longer “nice-to-have” — they’re expected. Buyers want instant answers, real-time prices, and a seamless digital experience that mirrors what they get in consumer tech.
At SeekMake, we’re powering that shift by helping manufacturers transform how they quote. Instead of spending hours reviewing files, calculating costs, and manually replying to RFQs, our partners can offer dynamic, instant quoting through their websites or internal tools. It’s not just about speed — it’s about giving their customers a premium experience while freeing up valuable engineering time. We see quoting evolving into a fully digital, intelligent front door to modern manufacturing.
SeekMake is leading this transformation. We provide the most advanced AI-powered quoting engine on the market, trusted by forward-thinking manufacturers across 30+ countries. Our system doesn’t just automate quoting — it maximizes sales performance. With built-in manufacturability checks, pricing logic, and real-time customer feedback, our partners aren’t just quoting faster — they’re winning more deals.
In fact, SeekMake manufacturers consistently report the highest customer conversion rates in the industry. Many see double-digit revenue growth within the first month of using our platform — without hiring more staff or changing machines. That’s the power of pairing cutting-edge technology with deep manufacturing insight.
The next generation of manufacturing leaders won’t just be the fastest or cheapest — they’ll be the smartest, the most responsive, and the easiest to buy from. At SeekMake, we’re building the tools to make that possible — and our partners are already reaping the rewards.
What challenges do manufacturers face when integrating SeekMake, and how does the platform help?
Many manufacturers want to modernize, but they’re held back by legacy systems, fragmented processes, and the fear that digital transformation will disrupt their daily operations.
We designed SeekMake to be a flexible, low-barrier solution. It connects seamlessly with their existing workflows — whether that’s ERP, CRM, or a shared inbox — and brings automation where it matters most: quoting. Our AI-driven engine analyzes 3D files, identifies manufacturability risks, and calculates prices in seconds based on real machine capabilities and material costs.
We also support manufacturers every step of the way — from white-glove onboarding to real-time quoting dashboards — so they can evolve without losing control. For many, it’s the first time quoting feels like a strength, not a bottleneck.
How does SeekMake protect sensitive CAD files and ensure data security?
Trust is everything in manufacturing — and we take that seriously.
All customer files uploaded through SeekMake are encrypted end to end. Access is tightly controlled, with expiring links and advanced permissions. We also offer invisible watermarking to track file ownership in the rare case of IP misuse. Our infrastructure is built on enterprise-grade standards, and we’re fully GDPR-compliant. We’re also on track to complete SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications.
We believe quoting should be fast, but never at the cost of security. Our partners — from local job shops to global OEM suppliers — can quote with confidence knowing their data is protected.
What role will AI and instant quoting play in the next decade of digital manufacturing?
The future of instant quoting is fully autonomous.
AI won’t just calculate prices — it will fix files, optimize designs to reduce cost, and select the best manufacturing process to deliver parts on time, every time. It will act as your engineer, project manager, and sales assistant — all in one.
At SeekMake, we’re building this future today. Our AI-driven quoting engine helps manufacturers convert faster, grow quicker, and stay ahead in an increasingly competitive market. The next generation of manufacturing starts with quoting — and SeekMake is leading the way.
