Step-by-Step Guide
Go to Fictiv.com and sign up — no credit card required. Existing users can log in directly to the quoting dashboard where all active and past orders are visible.
Click New Quote and drag-and-drop your file. Fictiv supports STEP (.stp / .step) and IGES (.igs / .iges) — STEP is preferred for the most accurate pricing. Ensure your geometry is watertight with no open surfaces or duplicate bodies for the cleanest quote. Supported formats: .stp, .step, .igs, .iges, .stl
Select your material from 45+ options including aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, and engineering plastics. Set your order quantity and choose a surface finish (as-machined, bead blast, anodize, and more). Pricing updates in real time as you adjust each parameter.
Fictiv instantly returns your price alongside Design for Manufacturability (DFM) insights. Manufacturability flags — such as thin walls, deep pockets, or tolerance conflicts — are surfaced before you commit so you can resolve issues early and avoid costly rework.
Compare standard and expedited lead time options side by side. Shorter lead times typically cost more — Fictiv shows you the exact price delta so you can make the right speed-vs-cost tradeoff. When you're satisfied, submit for production with a single click.
Avoid These Pitfalls
A few small errors in your CAD file or quote configuration can delay your project or inflate your cost. Here's what to watch for before you hit submit.
Missing or unclear tolerances
Without callouts, machinists default to standard tolerances. If your part requires tighter specs, add GD&T annotations or a note in the order comments.
Over-specifying finishes
Cosmetic finishes on non-critical surfaces add cost without functional benefit. Only specify the finish where it matters for fit, function, or appearance.
Uploading incomplete assemblies
Multi-body STEP files that include purchased hardware or mating parts can confuse the quoting engine. Upload only the bodies you need machined.
Using non-standard materials without context
Exotic alloys or specialty plastics may not be in the instant-quote database. Add a note or contact our team — we can often source and quote within 24 hours.
Pro Tip
Use Fictiv's DFM Report to catch issues before they become problems
Every upload triggers an automated manufacturability analysis. Review the DFM report before approving your quote — it's the fastest way to avoid surprises mid-production.

To get a CNC quote online with Fictiv, create a free account at Fictiv.com, upload your CAD file (STEP or IGES), configure your material, quantity, and finish preferences, then receive instant pricing and DFM feedback in minutes.
With Fictiv, you receive an instant CNC machining quote in minutes after uploading your CAD file. For complex parts or custom requests, a detailed RFQ response typically arrives within 1 business day.
Fictiv supports STEP (.stp, .step), IGES (.igs, .iges), and STL file formats. STEP files are preferred because they carry full geometric data. Clean, watertight geometry without open surfaces or duplicate bodies yields the most accurate quotes.
CNC machining cost is affected by material choice, part complexity and geometry, required tolerances, surface finish specifications, order quantity, and lead time. Fictiv surfaces these trade-offs in real time so you can optimize cost before ordering.
Yes. Fictiv automatically analyzes your uploaded CAD file and returns Design for Manufacturability (DFM) feedback alongside your quote. Issues such as thin walls, deep pockets, or non-standard tolerances are flagged before you commit to production.
