Paperless Parts

Paperless Parts, Inc. is a Boston-based manufacturing software company founded in 2017 that builds a secure, ITAR-compliant cloud quoting and sales platform for custom part manufacturers — job shops, contract manufacturers and rapid-prototype businesses working in CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, Swiss screw machining, wire EDM, waterjet and additive manufacturing. A patented geometry engine analyses uploaded CAD to automate costing, and the P3L pricing language lets a shop encode its own pricing logic. The company publishes a public REST API in two live versions (v1 and v2) at api.paperlessparts.com, covering quotes, quote items, orders, jobs, parts, processes, contacts and accounts, custom pricing tables, purchased components, and a managed integrations framework with a poll-based Streaming API for reacting to platform events. A first-party Python SDK is published on GitHub under the part-os organization.

Paperless Parts publishes 12 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Contacts API, Custom Tables API, Customers API, and 9 more. Tagged areas include Company, Manufacturing, Quoting, CNC Machining, and Sheet Metal.

The Paperless Parts catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Paperless Parts’ developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 31 more developer resources.
