From drawing to estimate before the shop walks in.
Cintra reads drawings and specifications, builds material, process, labor, and lead time estimates from your shop rates and history, and drafts the quote letter with assumptions spelled out.
Your best estimators are also running the shop.
Quoting a machined or fabricated part means reading the drawing the way an estimator does: material callouts, tolerances, finishes, quantities, revision notes. That takes your most experienced people, and they are usually busy running jobs.
So RFQs queue. The shop quotes what it has time for, reflexively no-quotes the rest, and win rates hinge on whichever jobs happened to get attention that week.

Send us a quote request.
Free, and it takes one email. You see Cintra working on your documents, your pricing, and your formats, not a canned demo. Two good ways to start:
- Send the one on your desk right now. We'll return a priced, submission-ready draft while your deadline is still ahead of you.
- Or send one you already finished, along with its source files. We'll rebuild it so you can compare our output to what you actually sent, line by line.
