Questions machine shops ask
Yes. Customers upload a drawing (PDF, DWG, STEP), the agent extracts dimensions and tolerances, and drafts a quote with line items in your voice. You review on phone for 60 seconds, hit send. Most shops promise 22-hour quote turnarounds and miss them — this makes the promise real.
Live indicator on the homepage that pulls from your floor management system (or a simple check-in tool we set up). Visitors see "Floor active · 7 jobs in progress" instead of a static brochure. Builds trust before they even pick up the phone.
AVS asked us the same thing. The answer is: cinematic doesn't mean impersonal. The site has the founder story, the team page, the 40-year history front and center. The cinematic motion just signals that this is a shop that takes its work seriously — same way clean tooling on the floor signals it.
The agents can be configured to flag inbound that mentions export-controlled materials or specs, route it to your compliance contact, and never send drawings outside your domain. We've worked through this for clients in aerospace and defense — it's solvable.
