What users say about our quoting software

DÜRR Metall & Kunststofftechnik

Manual quoting not only took longer, it was also less accurate. With Spanflug MAKE, on the other hand, the costs for a part is always the same and can be reproduced at any time.

    Flexible selection of stocks for quoting

    Standard stocks

    Our database includes more than 60 materials for stocks. These will be detected automatically during part analysis and calculation of machining times and costs. Spanflug MAKE uses real-time prices from stock suppliers connected to our platform technology. This allows you to calculate precise costs in line with the market, saves you time-consuming inquiries to stock suppliers before you can finalize your quote, and helps you to hit the calculated margins even when material prices fluctuate.

    Our materials

    Near-net-shape stocks

    You can select and upload individual near-net-shape geometries such as castings, laser parts or 3D printed preforms as stocks, and then calculate the turning, milling and grinding for them. In this way, Spanflug MAKE supports economical and resource-saving manufacturing.

    Contour cuts

    You can select contour cuts, such as laser, flame or water jet cuts, and use these as near-net-shape stocks for the calculation.

    Include post-treatments in your quoting

    Automatically recognized. Individually customizable.

    Spanflug MAKE automatically recognizes the post-treatments of calculated parts during the part analysis. You can adjust these processes for post-treatments and finetune their processing times and costs at any time.

    More than 30 post-treatments

    More than 30 post-treatments are available for automated calculation in Spanflug MAKE. From powder coating to anodizing – the software calculates heat and surface treatments as well as coatings. They are added as seperate work steps in the calculation proposal and operational plan.
