# MATERIAM

> MATERIAM is an on-demand sheet-metal fabricator with its own plant in Querétaro, Mexico. **Upload a STEP (3D) or DXF (2D) file and get a manufacturability-verified price in seconds — free, no account needed to quote.** **Laser cutting, CNC bending, MIG/TIG welding, finishing and assembly happen under one roof, so a cut, bent and welded assembly is one order.** **Parts are fabricated in Querétaro and delivered across Mexico and the United States (USMCA-friendly), or picked up at the plant for free.** Every quote shows its own lead time; delivery dates are computed per order and shown before payment. Site in English and Spanish (append `?lang=es`).

## Instant quoting and ordering

Upload a STEP for 3D parts or whole assemblies, or a DXF for flat profiles. The platform takes an assembly apart, matches every part to real stock, checks manufacturability against the plant's die library and cutting rules, and prices it in seconds with a lead time attached. Quoting is free and requires no account; an account is created only to order. No minimum order: a single prototype is quoted, and the price reprices automatically as quantity changes (volume pricing is built in). The price is itemized — material, laser cutting, bending, welding, finish — and it is a real, orderable price, not an estimate subject to review. Shipping is quoted separately by destination, or free with plant pickup. No CAD file yet? Design the part in the in-browser studio and quote it from there.

## Capabilities and specifications

Laser cutting
- Fiber laser cutting; maximum sheet format 3,000 × 1,500 mm (10 × 5 ft).
- Carbon steel up to 1/2 in (12.7 mm); stainless, galvanized and aluminum up to 6 mm. Thicker material is quoted manually through the contact form.
- Positioning ±0.05 mm, repeatability ±0.025 mm; achievable part tolerance depends on thickness and geometry. For critical dimensions attach a drawing (ASME Y14.5 GD&T welcome) — they are inspected on a 3D measuring arm before shipping.
- Assist gas: high-purity nitrogen (99.98%) generated on site for stainless, aluminum and galvanized (bright, oxide-free edges, no burn discoloration, no pickling); oxygen for thick carbon-steel plate. The quote already applies the right process per material.

- [Stainless-steel laser cutting](https://materiam.com/services/stainless-laser-cutting.xhtml) · Spanish: [/corte-laser-acero-inoxidable](https://materiam.com/corte-laser-acero-inoxidable)

CNC bending
- Press-brake bending with in-process laser angle measurement and correction. The flat pattern is computed from the folded STEP at the exact die radius the brake will use; a DXF of the flat is also accepted.
- Minimum flange length and bend radius depend on gauge and die; the quote engine checks the geometry against the real die library on upload instead of a generic table.
- Stainless and 5052 aluminum bend cleanly (springback accounted per material; polished stainless handled with protective film).

Welding and assemblies
- TIG for stainless, aluminum and appearance joints; MIG for structural carbon steel; grind-flush available per joint. Welding is priced per joint by weld length and finish and appears as line items in the quote.
- Assemblies from a multi-part STEP: bench-to-cabinet scale — enclosures, carts, frames, racks, cabinets that ship on a pallet. Structural or oversized work: contact first.
- Core work: stainless enclosures, carts, cabinets and racks for labs, clinics and food service.
- [Welded assemblies](https://materiam.com/services/welded-assemblies.xhtml) · [MIG/TIG welding](https://materiam.com/services/welding.xhtml)

Materials stocked (quoted only when the stock exists)
- Cold-rolled steel, hot-rolled steel, galvanized steel; stainless 304 in 2B, BA (bright annealed), P3/P4 brushed and polished finishes; stainless 430 P3; aluminum 5052-H32; brass C260; copper C110. Stocked by gauge and plate thickness.

Other processes available in the plant: waterjet cutting for material beyond laser thickness, bandsaw cutting, tapping, drilling, deburring, powder coating, mechanical assembly.

## Confidentiality and commercial terms

- Uploaded files are treated as confidential IP and used only to quote and fabricate the order; an NDA is available on request. You own your design and can download the STEP file at any time.
- Prices are shown in MXN with IVA included for Mexico and in USD for the United States; billing and invoicing details are collected at checkout. Card payments are processed by Stripe.

## MCP server (for LLM agents acting on a user's behalf)

MATERIAM exposes its quoting workflow as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server so agents can quote, configure and order parts for a user without scraping HTML.

- SSE endpoint: `https://materiam.com/mcp/sse` · JSON-RPC message endpoint: `https://materiam.com/mcp/message`
- Auth: HTTP `Authorization: Bearer mtm_…`; tokens are minted by the user at `/account/api-keys.xhtml` and run with that user's identity and permissions.
- Tools: `list_projects`, `get_project`, `upload_step_file`, `get_upload_status`, `list_parts`, `get_part_quote`, `get_project_quote`, `set_part_material`, `set_part_finish`, `list_available_materials`.
- A small REST surface at `/materiam/api/` covers upload and state inspection for automation; same Bearer auth.

# MATERIAM (español)

> MATERIAM es un fabricante de lámina metálica bajo demanda con planta propia en Querétaro, México. **Sube un archivo STEP (3D) o DXF (2D) y recibe en segundos un precio verificado para manufactura — gratis y sin crear cuenta para cotizar.** **Corte láser, doblez CNC, soldadura MIG/TIG, acabados y ensamble bajo un mismo techo: una pieza cortada, doblada y soldada es un solo pedido.** **Fabricamos en Querétaro y entregamos en todo México y Estados Unidos, o recoges en planta sin costo.** Cada cotización muestra su propio tiempo de entrega; la fecha se calcula por pedido y se muestra antes de pagar.

## Cotización instantánea y pedido

Sube un STEP para piezas o ensambles 3D, o un DXF para perfiles planos. La plataforma separa el ensamble, empata cada pieza con material en existencia, verifica la manufacturabilidad contra la librería real de dados y las reglas de corte de la planta, y la cotiza en segundos con tiempo de entrega. Cotizar es gratis y no requiere cuenta; la cuenta se crea solo para ordenar. Sin pedido mínimo: se cotiza un prototipo único y el precio se recalcula solo al cambiar la cantidad (precio por volumen incluido). El precio es desglosado — material, corte láser, doblez, soldadura, acabado — y es un precio real que se puede ordenar en el momento, no un estimado sujeto a revisión. El envío se cotiza aparte por destino, o es gratis recogiendo en planta. ¿Sin archivo CAD? Diseña la pieza en el estudio en el navegador y cotízala desde ahí.
