Abstract
A method for generating a quote for fabrication of a part to be fabricated is disclosed. The method includes receiving, from a customer device associated with a customer, a design request for a part to be fabricated by a fabrication process. The design request includes a three-dimensional (3D) model file representing the part to be fabricated. The method further includes generating a feature vector for the part based on the model file and determining a total height of the part to be fabricated. Further, the method includes identifying one or more candidate orientations for the part to be fabricated and generating, as a function of a geometry of the part and a candidate orientation of the one or more candidate orientations, fabrication parameters for the part to be fabricated, wherein the fabrication parameters include a cost to fabricate the part and estimated completion date.
