Tools that enable and accelerate digital manufacturing

The 3Diligent Difference

3Diligent provides a holistic approach that goes beyond online procurement to ensuring manufacturing excellence and direct conversations between customers and vendors.

With a suite of cloud-based apps that includes ProdEX for procurement; Shopsight for job/machine shop management; 3Depot for searching and filtering materials and equipment; and Zoom video conferencing, 3Diligent is a leader in the online-procurement industry from both the customer and supplier point of view.

3Diligent ProdEX

3Diligent ProdEX is a cloud-based, secure, Industry 4.0 rapid-manufacturing procurement solution. A proprietary application, ProdEX dynamically accesses only production centers capable of producing for your job to your exact specifications. ProdEX ensures you get the optimal material, machine, finish, confidentiality requirements, or inspection and quality certification the project requires.

For one-off prototype to mass-production runs and every size job in between, the ProdEX quotes from previously enrolled manufacturers are delivered in minutes. The ProdEX vendor network contains hundreds of facilities throughout the world and is growing daily. This super-large directory of providers means customers can choose from a list of vendors capable of delivering on very specific product requirements, from tolerances to materials and processes to branded machines.

3Diligent 3Depot

With an expansive network of manufacturing providers and an even larger catalogue of materials, 3Diligent 3Depot is available as both a stand-alone application and an integration to ProdEX and Shopsight (see below). This online database of manufacturing technologies, equipment, and materials is the go-to platform for any customer considering rapid-manufacturing. The application is also used within this website to build relationships between complementary processes and materials that aid visitors in choosing materials appropriate for the process they are considering.

3Diligent Shopsight

Excellence in digital manufacturing services is dependent upon the capabilities of the machine/job shop or service bureau fulfilling the order. 3Diligent’s approach to ensuring excellence comes in the form of a proprietary cloud-based solution, Shopsight, which assists machine shops, job shops, and service bureaus with a suite of features critical to quality: estimating, order management, task lists, routing, tracing, analytics, and more. 3Diligent Shopsight is designed with the modern machine shop in mind and provided as tiered packages of features for addressing your shop’s specific pre-production, production, or combined requirements. Sold as subscriptions, Shopsight is available in Free, Basic, Estimator, Operator, E & O, Connect plans. All Shopsight users are automatically enrolled in the ProdEX procurement program, but bidding any quote is optional. ProdEX jobs are a way to make your shop more profitable and by keeping your machines running during natural or forced lulls in the manufacturing process.

3Diligent Vulcury

Vulcury is the 3Diligent platform for digital manufacturing that supports the day-to-day operations of ProdEX, Shopsight, and 3Depot, but it is also available through custom API integrations. The Vulcury APIs are designed to address the challenges of digital manufacturing—from juggling suppliers to overseeing your shop’s operations or a global network of shops.

The evolution from prototyping to production is different for every project, calling for different machines, materials, and investments every step of the way. No provider can offer everything you could need under a single roof, especially in the rapidly evolving space of digital manufacturing—and when companies try, it makes even the most basic jobs exorbitantly expensive.

That’s where 3Diligent has been designed to be different. Using the power of cloud computing, 3Diligent leverages a global network of qualified manufacturers to complete custom manufacturing projects on demand.
