Speed your contract and part manufacturing processes, from RFQ to part delivery

Affordable, browser-based software makes it easier to handle quotes, manage jobs, make parts and share information. With easy-to-use features in an app, accessible from any device, your team can get started quickly, and you can win more business. Zel X can be used as a complete solution or integrated with existing computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) tools.

Access library-based CAD and CAM on demand

Leverage 3D CAD modeling for accurate quoting and fixture design. Spend less time programming and more time machining with model-based CAM. Use imported data from your customer or existing CAD system.
