Process

HOW IT WORKS

The traditional way is to call, wait for a quote, email a drawing, and hope for the best. With LeikePaja it's different — the whole process happens in the browser, with the price visible the entire time.

01
✏️ Draw in the browser or upload a DXF

A built-in CAD tool runs directly in your browser — no installs, no licenses, no account required upfront. Draw one line at a time, or upload a finished DXF file from your own CAD software (AutoCAD, Fusion 360, FreeCAD, and others). Check the Library for a ready-made part if you don't want to draw from scratch.

02
💰 See the price instantly

The price is calculated automatically as soon as the drawing is ready — material, thickness, cut length, and any holes all affect the price in real time. No waiting, no quote requests. You see the exact total before making any decision. A one-time start fee is added to each order. All prices include 25.5% VAT.

03
✅ Add to cart and order

You can add several different parts to the same order — each with its own material and thickness. The cart calculates the combined price and delivery cost automatically.

04
🔍 The workshop checks it

The workshop reviews the drawing before production and confirms it can actually be cut — for example, that a hole isn't too small relative to the material thickness. If something needs fixing, you'll hear about it before anything is charged.

05
💳 Payment request is sent

Once the workshop approves the order, you'll receive a payment request by email. Payment is handled securely via Stripe. You only pay once the order has been checked and approved — no risk, no surprises.

06
📦 The workshop makes the parts

Parts are cut and delivered your chosen way — a parcel, pallet freight for larger orders, or free pickup directly from the workshop in Lappajärvi.
