Free your crew from outreach overtime, gaining 20% more focus on shop floor tasks like quality checks on extruded aluminum profiles.
What Clients Say
"We were swamped with follow-up emails for our 3D-printed HVAC duct prototypes—our sales lead spent two full days a week on it. AIQ Labs set up a custom system that pulls bid data from our ERP and auto-sends pitches tailored to MEP specs. Now, we're securing 25% more contracts from commercial builders, and he's freed up for on-site demos. Saved us 12 hours weekly, no doubt."
Mike Harlan
Operations Manager, PrecisionForge Prints (Custom Metal Fixtures for Commercial Builds)
"Straight up: our small shop couldn't swing a full-time marketer, so leads for custom structural foam models were sporadic at best. Their AI hooks into our quoting software and pushes personalized AR demos to general contractors. We nailed an $8K rush order for bridge formwork molds last month that slipped through before. ROI hit in three weeks—pure efficiency for lean ops."
Sara Lopez
Owner, BuildTech 3D Solutions (Specializing in Structural Prototypes for Infrastructure Projects)
"Balancing social posts and email campaigns was tanking our efficiency during Q4 rush for precast concrete molds. AIQ tailored the automation to our workflow, scraping print logs from our slicer software to generate content on material durability. Inquiries from heavy equipment fabricators jumped 35%, and my team's not drowning in admin—total shift for our tight-knit crew."
Tom Reilly
Marketing Lead, ProtoFab Manufacturing (Precast and Custom Mold Production)

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle the custom nature of 3D printing leads?
Great question—custom is our middle name. We start by analyzing your historical data, like past orders for structural components or prototypes. The AI then generates outreach that's specific, say, suggesting lightweight lattice designs for a contractor's high-rise project. It's not generic; it pulls from your workflow to create messages that reference exact tolerances or materials. Shops using this see leads convert 2x faster because it feels personal, not spammy. And since it's custom-built, it scales with your unique services, saving you from tweaking off-the-shelf tools that never quite fit. Expect setup in 4-6 weeks, with immediate time savings on manual personalization.
What kind of time savings can a 3D printing service realistically expect?
Let's break it down practically. For a mid-sized shop, manual tasks like emailing specs to 30-40 leads weekly can eat up 10-15 hours. Our system automates that—drafting, sending, and tracking—while you focus on printing. One client cut their marketing admin from 12 hours to 2 per week right away. It's ROI-focused: if your average deal is $5K, even a 10% lead increase pays for itself fast. We tie it to your metrics, like hours per print job, so you see efficiency gains in weeks. No fluff; it's field-tested for manufacturing paces.
Will this integrate with our existing tools like CAD or shop management software?
Absolutely, integration is core to what we do. We connect directly to tools like SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or your ERP like JobBOSS, pulling data on print specs or inventory to fuel marketing. No brittle APIs that fail mid-campaign. For example, if a lead requests a custom gasket, the AI auto-generates a follow-up with renders from your CAD. It's two-way: responses update your CRM instantly. We've done this for dozens of manufacturers, reducing data entry errors by 90%. Setup involves a quick audit of your stack, and we own the build—no dependencies on third-party plugins that could hike costs later.
How is the ROI measured for marketing automation in our industry?
You're practical, so we keep it straightforward. ROI here means tracking dollars in from closed deals against automation costs. Our dashboard shows metrics like cost per lead (aim for under $50 in manufacturing), conversion rates (target 25% uplift), and time saved (quantified in hours, valued at your team's rate). For 3D services, we link campaigns to actual orders—e.g., an automated email sequence leading to a $10K prototype run. Clients typically hit 3x ROI in 3-6 months. We baseline your current setup first, so you see clear before-and-afters, proving efficiency without the guesswork.
Is this suitable for a small 3D printing team without a dedicated marketer?
Yes, especially for small teams. We design for lean operations, like yours with 5-20 staff juggling prints and outreach. The AI acts as your virtual marketer, handling personalization for bids on construction parts without needing expertise. One small shop went from zero systematic follow-ups to consistent leads, adding $20K monthly revenue. It's warm, not cold—starts with a free consult to tailor to your workflow. No steep learning curve; your team gets simple dashboards. And since you own it, costs stay predictable, unlike subscriptions that balloon as you grow.
What makes your solution different from off-the-shelf marketing tools?
Off-the-shelf like HubSpot or Mailchimp are great for basics, but they're rigid for niche 3D printing—think generic templates that don't grasp tolerances or build cycles. We build custom, integrating your exact tools for automations like auto-pitching based on print feasibility. No subscription chaos; you own a unified system that scales without extra fees. It's like custom tooling vs. stock parts: precise and durable. We've seen shops save 40% on tools alone by ditching multiples. Plus, our AI learns from your data, improving over time—real efficiency for manufacturing realities.
