2. Parts or products

Information fields of each part, sorted and presented in different tabs, with the possibility of customization. 

Part information fields are supplemented with files or attachments required for the process. 

CAD file, STL, G-CODE files or others for manufacturing, verification, or raw material, among others, that can be customized. 

3. Work orders

Through the platform it is possible to create production orders for the number of parts needed. 

The supplier or manufacturing service can visualize the information of the part and the work order by accessing the platform with its user, accepting it, requesting information or submitting a quote.
