CNC quoting widget
One line in your site's code and an enquiry stops being an e-mail with an attachment. The engine reads the geometry from a model or a drawing and prices it on your machines and rates, and you decide which figure goes to the customer on its own and which waits for your approval.

01Benefits
Four moments from a shop's week. Today each of them costs an hour of e-mails; with the widget it costs a click.
Sunday, 23:47
A buyer compares several shops at once and writes when they have time, which is often late in the evening. The widget answers straight away: the model is read, the price is worked out, and on Monday morning your dashboard holds a finished item instead of an empty e-mail.
Instead of "please quote"
An e-mail with an attachment and one sentence is the start of five more: which material, how many, what tolerances, any threads, by when. In the widget the customer answers all of that, and the engine adds everything that can be measured from the solid.
The safety gate
You decide what goes to the customer automatically and what waits for approval: a value threshold, a complexity threshold, or approval of every quote. A casting, a weldment, a catalogue part, a part bigger than your machines and every quote made from a drawing always stop.
From offer to production
From the link in the message the customer moves on to the order, gives a delivery address and confirms. The order lands in the panel, and the confirmation and the shipping notice go to the customer by e-mail as soon as you change the status.

02The route
The same process seen from two sides. Switch to see what your customer sees at each stop, and what you see.
Picks a 3D model or a drawing on your website. No account, no e-mail with an attachment.
Sees the part in 3D: turns it, measures it and clicks a hole to confirm a thread.
Chooses a material from your list, quantity, tolerances, roughness, finishing and lead time.
The chosen parameters turn into a net and gross price, lead time, delivery cost and prices for other quantities.
Gets the price at once, or a note that the quote went to an engineer.
at oncefor approvalOnce approved, gets an e-mail with a link and a four-digit code, and can reopen the quote on any device.
Moves on to the order, gives a delivery address and confirms. No online payment.
Every stop on the shop's side runs without you, except one: the decision at the gate, if you leave it there.

Example shop: Demo CNC Sp. z o.o. Materials, rates and prices are examples.
Quantity, a material from your list and a lead time: standard, or express with a surcharge.
The ISO 2768-1 tolerance class, ISO 2768-2 form and position tolerances, Ra roughness and tighter tolerances on faces clicked on the model.
Threads suggested from hole diameters, external threads and ISO 286 fits.
Operations from your own list, such as anodising or hardening, with the days they add to the lead time.
04Your brand
Logo, colour and languages are set once, in the panel. The address in your customer's browser does not change.
The widget takes the logo and the primary colour from the shop's settings: buttons, selections and accents are in your colour from the first view. A small "Powered by MetronQ" stays in the footer, and everything else is yours.
Would you rather not touch your website? You get a ready quoting page at your own address on quoting.metronq.com. Same engine, same look, and a link to put in your e-mail signature or your business profile on Google.
Your logo in the header, your colour on buttons and accents. A change in the panel applies at once.
Polish, English, German and Chinese. Switch on only the ones you can answer an enquiry in.
A ready quoting page with your name in the address, for when there is nowhere to embed the widget.
Customers get e-mails and the PDF offer in the language they quoted in, whatever language your panel is in.
You decide how many quotes a day the widget accepts. Past that it takes no new files until midnight.
No sign-up, no password. The price shows at once, and the customer leaves an e-mail only when they want to.
05Under the hood
For whoever looks after your website: what to paste, what happens after it is pasted, and what guards your customers' files and your quote budget.
Seven steps between the customer's browser and your panel. The file passes through neither the application server nor any outside service.
The script inserts the widget's frame. Your page passes us nothing else.
The widget presents the public key and the address of the page it is on. An address not on the allowed list is refused.
With the limits checked, the widget gets a one-time signed address for uploading this one file.
The file goes straight to storage in the EU, over HTTPS, encrypted with its own AES-256 key.
The engine reads it in an isolated container with no privileges and a read-only file system.
Back come the geometry readout and the 3D preview. Your price list sets the price, and the gate decides what next.
The customer sees the price or a note about approval, and the quote lands in your panel.
Some protect your customers' files, some protect your quote budget. None has to be switched on.
The widget runs only on the sites you list in the settings. Anywhere else it is refused.
your domainsYou decide how many files a day the configurator accepts. The limit resets at midnight.
50 a day by defaultOne IP address gets 15 files per 10 minutes. If the limit service is down, uploads stop rather than open up.
15 per 10 minutesEvery file has its own AES-256 key. The storage provider does not hold it, so it cannot read a file even with the disk in hand.
AES-256Geometry analysis and drawing reading run on our own servers. We send no files to artificial-intelligence providers.
our servers onlyThe permanent quote link opens only with the four-digit code from the e-mail, and attempts are limited.
4 digits + attempt capName, company, e-mail, phone and address from orders are encrypted before they reach the database.
AES-256-GCMA file from a quote that never became an order is deleted after 90 days, an abandoned upload after six hours.
90 daysThe domain list guards against the widget being embedded on somebody else's site by accident. Against deliberate misuse stand the limits, which do not depend on what a request claims about itself - which is why both sit in one place, in the widget settings.
06Questions
No. They pick a file and the parameters and see the price at once. They leave an e-mail only when they want the quote in their inbox, when the quote waits for your approval, or when they order.
STEP, STP, IGES and IGS models, PDF and DXF drawings, and photos or scans of a drawing (JPG, PNG, TIFF, WEBP), up to 50 MB. A 3D model is priced automatically; a quote made from a drawing always waits for your approval.
Yes, and that is the default. In the quoting rules you choose the mode: approve every quote, approve above a value or complexity threshold, or price at once. Unusual parts stop in every mode.
It should not. The loader is a few kilobytes and loads asynchronously, and the frame loads only when the customer scrolls to it. The geometry is analysed on our servers, not in the customer's browser.
The daily limit you set yourself stops it, together with the limits per IP address and per shop, which changing a header does not get around. Files over the limit are refused before anything is worked out.
Polish, English, German and Chinese. Your own language is always on; you switch the others on in the settings. Customers get e-mails and the PDF offer in the language they quoted in.
Yes. Every shop gets a ready quoting page on quoting.metronq.com, with its own name and in its own colours. Put the link in your e-mail signature, on a business card or in your business profile on Google.
Only in a small "Powered by MetronQ" in the widget's footer. The logo, colour and shop name in the widget, and the PDF offer, are yours.
The widget and the hosted page are in every plan. 14 days free, no card.
