meviy expands automated CNC quotation platform – and simplifies 3D printing workflows

The manufacturing platform meviy developed by Misumi closes a previously annoying gap in its automatic quotation process. From now on, engineers can also calculate and order milled parts with inclined holes via the AI-based interface. Until now, such holes outside the classic XYZ orientation led to errors in the system, and an instant quote was not possible. Yet in designs that are later additively manufactured or combined with 3D-printed components, inclined passages and functionally integrated channels are common.

According to the company, the automatic quotation system (AQ) now covers the majority of common configurations. Among other things, it supports holes that are perpendicular to inclined or curved surfaces, in nearly all milling materials available on the platform. Previously necessary workarounds such as manual alignment notes or time-consuming individual requests are no longer required.

“meviy now allows engineers to instantly request quotes and order parts with angled holes—a process that was previously time-consuming and prone to errors. This offers greater design freedom and faster iterations, without the risk of failure during quality control,” Ali CHEAYTO, Sales Manager France, MISUMI.

For development departments, this means greater design freedom for fluidic channels, sensor cavities, or screw connections on inclined planes. Iterations between CAD, simulation, and 3D printing can be completed more quickly because fewer clarifications with suppliers are required. At the same time, a typical bottleneck in the procurement of non-standard machining features is reduced.

On the technical side, meviy relies on automated manufacturability checks using AI, coupled with a production network managed by Misumi. According to the provider, parts with inclined drilled holes can be covered in a size range from 10 × 10 × 5 millimeters up to 450 × 250 × 70 millimeters. The platform is aimed primarily at industries such as electronics, transportation, and mechanical engineering, where additively manufactured components and precise CNC structures are increasingly combined. Further enhancements of the quotation algorithm, for example for inclined countersunk holes or downstream surface treatments, are already in progress.
