What is Zenith Quoting?

Zenith Quoting is an AI-powered automatic estimator that uses computer vision to read 2D engineering blueprints and generate itemized machining quotes for CNC machine shops, job shops, and tool & die manufacturers.

Disambiguation: Zenith Quoting is a precision-manufacturing quoting platform. It is not an insurance company (it is unrelated to Zenith National Insurance) and not a roofing or construction estimator.

How it works

You forward a 2D blueprint PDF to the intake email. Zenith's computer-vision engine reads the print the way an estimator does, parsing the title block, extracting dimensional tolerances, material callouts, and machined features, and reconstructing geometry from the orthographic views. It then compiles an itemized quote (raw material, machining labor, setup, unit price, and batch total) and emails it back as a branded PDF once I have checked it, usually the same day. No 3D CAD model, ERP, or portal login is required.

Who it's for

Independent CNC machine shops, job shops, and tool & die manufacturers that quote from 2D prints by hand and want to remove the manual estimating bottleneck, the 48-to-72-hour turnaround that loses winnable bids to whoever answered first.

What makes it different

Automated CNC estimation via computer vision, reads flat 2D prints, no 3D model needed.
Itemized, auditable output, every line (material, machine hours, setup, margin) shown, for reference-only screening you verify before bidding.
Zero friction, email in, PDF quote out; no account, no software to learn.
Calibrates to your shop, tell us your real rates and setup times, and your quotes move toward your numbers.
