Quotation Procedure

After logging in to meviy, follow the steps below to get quotes and place orders based on 3D data of machined plates.

Step 1: Automatic Hole Type Recognition Settings

If you are uploading a neutral format, configure the settings for the CAD software used for modeling. On the meviy platform, the hole type is identified by referencing the hole diameter in the 3D CAD data against the hole information database. Configuring the settings for the CAD software used for the modeling improves the accuracy of the hole type identification.

(1)Point the mouse to the user name in the upper right corner of the screen. The “User Menu” will appear.
(2)Choose “User Settings”.
(3)Choose “Automatic Hole Type Recognition Settings”.
(4)Select the hole type recognition method. → Details of each setting method
(5)Set the CAD software used for modeling in the hole diameter condition of tap hole recognition.
(6)Choose “Update”.

Step 2: Set the preferred processing method

You can set up to automatically select a processing method when 3D data is uploaded.

Open user settings, click “Processing Method Selection Settings”.
Select the preferred processing method from the pull-down menu.

Tip

The automatically selected processing method can be changed later on the project list screen or the 3D Viewer screen.

Step 3: Upload the 3D CAD Data

Upload the 3D CAD data. → Uploading 3D Data
Press the [Machined plate] button. If “Do not allow automatic selection” is selected in the user settings, the selection must be made by the user.
Select [Next]. The 3D Viewer screen will be displayed from where you can then view the quote amount as calculated using the default specifications.

Proceed to Step 4: Finalize Quotes and Obtain Part Numbers if there were no issues with the quote conditions or amount.
Proceed to Step 3: Configure/Change Quote Specifications if you want to change the quote specifications.

Step 4: Configure/Change Quote Specifications

Configure and change the quote specifications as required. Prices and delivery times will be recalculated according to the changed specifications.

Configure basic information for the quotation specifications such as changing the quantities in the quote, changing the materials or surface treatments, setting custom customer PO numbers and entering additional machining instructions. → Setting Basic Information
Confirm the information for the loaded 3D data and modify it if necessary.
- Changing hole types → Changing Hole Information
- Adding/removing dimensions and dimensional tolerances → Adding/Deleting Dimensions and Dimensional Tolerances
- Splitting holes grouped during shape recognition → Splitting Group Holes
- Moving the design’s origin → Change a Design’s Origin
If there is a possibility a part you are designing using 3D data will break or become distorted, an approval message will appear in the tree view. Please check this message. → Confirming Approvals

Step 5: Finalize Quotes (Obtaining Part Numbers) / Confirm

After you set the quotation conditions, confirm the quotation conditions, issue the part number and check the quote if there are no issues. → Finalizing Quotes (Obtain Part Number) / Checking

Step 6: Add to product list

After issuing the part number, select the shipping date and click the [Add to Cart] button.

Step 7: Check product list, then order

Open product list screen.
Check the parts you wish to order, click “Proceed to order”, and place your order through “Entry Order” screen.
