这个插件是可以免费使用的，只不过需要联网。Xometry项目工程总监格雷格Paulsen说“The quoting process has typically been a very labor intensive and time consuming endeavor, especially for complex orders like end-use CNC machined parts or higher volume orders, but we have removed the inefficiencies and can provide an accurate lead time and price in just seconds – all within SOLIDWORKS!” “We have been able to dramatically decrease engineering time on projects designed using the Add-In,” “By eliminating the process of tweaking and making compromise changes over the course of several days based on each manufacturer’s ability to make the parts, we are giving engineers and designers extra hours back each day to do the work they actually enjoy instead of worrying about the logistics of ordering parts.
