Manufacturing Method Recommender

Upload your part. Get the manufacturing process our engineers would actually choose.

Early AccessVetted by Cadlete’s engineers · 10+ years of precision manufacturing and electronics production experience · India, USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany and the Nordics

Upload a STEP file, tell us your target price and material, and get a manufacturing method recommendation for that specific part, CNC machining, injection moulding, die casting, sheet metal, or 3D printing, vetted by Cadlete’s own engineering team against a decade of real precision manufacturing and design for manufacturing (DFM) experience, not a generic instant-quote calculator.

Technically speaking

Under the hood, the tool reads part geometry from your STEP file, wall thickness, undercuts, draft angles, feature count, and tolerance bands, and weighs that against your target volume and unit price to shortlist viable processes. Every shortlist is then checked by a Cadlete manufacturing engineer against real tooling cost, cycle time, and material behavior, the same DFM review we run on paid production projects.

How it works

Upload your file
A STEP file works best. An exploded view helps us understand multi-part assemblies.
2
Tell us your target
Target price and desired material.
3
Get your recommendation
A manufacturing method recommendation, checked against real production experience, not a generic calculator.
