The ProdEX service includes dynamic assessment, quoting, and fulfillment of requests using proprietary algorithms.

The software allows customers to customize their eligible suppliers using criteria such as country, certifications, and conformance documents.
ProdEX utilizes 3Diligent’s global network of manufacturing partners, currently numbering nearly 350 manufacturing plants across 20 countries and six continents. The depth and breadth of its network allows its customers to select from technologies such as 3D Printing, CNC Machining, Sheet Metal, Casting, and Injection Molding. Materials offered include metals, polymers, ceramics, composites, and more. There is no cost to submit request for quotes (RFQs) using the ProdEX service.
3Diligent Shopsight
3Diligent Shopsight empowers manufacturing shop operators to significantly streamline and enhance their pre-production and production operations while also gaining access to ProdEX job opportunities.
With the pre-production solution, suppliers can leverage 3Diligent tools to assess in seconds which technology-material combinations are viable for a job. Further, they can estimate the price just seconds later. This functionality is critical for operators that currently spend hours assessing the best possible way to make parts and requoting work for customers.
3Diligent’s production package enables fabricators to ensure consistent quality and efficiency once an order has been received. With integrated task lists, job routing, and audit trails, the distance “from the top floor to the shop floor” has never been so short.
Shop operators seeking additional project opportunities may opt into receiving job opportunities from 3Diligent’s ProdEX service. In this way, the Shopsight software has the added benefit of creating revenue opportunities for operators in addition to saving them time and money in support of existing accounts.

ProdEX is available now at www.3diligent.com. Shopsight software is offered at no charge as part of its beta launch program. Those who sign up now will receive preferred pricing on the subscription service when it is made generally available.
