At Partfox, we are committed to continuously improving your experience in sourcing CNC parts. This September, we are introducing a series of updates that will make your workflow more efficient, precise, and flexible. Whether you are republishing requests, comparing machine options, or relying on our AI to find the best deals, these improvements are designed to make your work smoother, more productive, and above all, more efficient.

Effortless Repetition of Requests

Reorders are now even easier! We’ve introduced a feature that allows you to republish already completed requests with just a few clicks. Instead of re-entering all the details, the data is pre-filled for you, making the process faster and more convenient. This feature is ideal for repeat orders and helps you save time and focus on what’s important.

Improved Visualization of Manufacturers Based on Suitable Machines

We know how important it is to have a clear overview of your options. That’s why we’ve enhanced the display of machines that precisely match your parts. Potentially matching machines, as defined by our AI, are clearly highlighted, while the full list of available machines from each company remains visible for comparison. With this helpful development, the selection process becomes even more efficient and targeted. You can now see at a glance which manufacturer, with which machine and technology, and in which material, can actually produce your parts. This saves you significant time and money in your decision-making process.

Smarter Matching for Small Turning Parts

Precision is key when it comes to CNC parts. To further improve accuracy, we have refined our matching algorithm for turning. Additionally, we have ensured that machines that are too large for very small parts are no longer listed. Specifically, parts whose length or diameter meets less than 20% of the machine's specifications are excluded. This means better matches for you and significantly reduces time and effort in the procurement process.

Ongoing AI Matching Development:

Improved Machine Matching for 2-Axis Turned Parts

We have refined our algorithm to ensure that 2-axis turned parts are accurately matched with both 2-axis and 3+ axis machines. This improvement helps you find the manufacturer with the perfect machine for your parts, reducing poor decisions or inefficient manufacturing processes.

Improved Matching Logic

Our continuous improvements to the AI matching logic mean that you receive more accurate and relevant matches for your individual needs, whether it’s the right machine, the right material, or the right technology. Partfox works the way you need it to.

To make working with Partfox even easier and more efficient:

Improved Display of Machines

Machines that are manually added with dimensions are checked, fully and accurately displayed, and then integrated into the AI matching. This ensures that your inputs are correctly and purposefully represented.

Consistent Statistics Across All Profiles

We’ve ensured that statistics and data are consistent across all user profiles, so you only receive reliable and up-to-date information.

Improved Visualization of Manufacturers

We have optimized the display of machines, materials, technologies, sample parts, and images in manufacturer profiles to ensure an exact, clear, and more appealing presentation.

Improved Communication with Our Community

Our improved communication system now ensures that you are timely and precisely informed about changes in RFQs, for example. We aim to better inform you and keep you constantly updated.

Our effort to continuously improve and to implement your valued suggestions aim to increase your success and make Partfox your daily, helpful, and useful tool.

Thank you for your valuable partnership.
