Do you still estimate the manufacturing costs for CNC parts based on experience, or do you calculate them using self-made spreadsheets?

While this may be possible for simple parts, the situation is different for complex turning and milling parts. Here you often have to rely on feedback from technical staff, inquiries to external partners, or even a CAM simulation. It can take several hours or even days before the quote is ready to be sent.

Our example calculation shows: The more complex the part, the greater the time and efficiency gains from using automated quoting software over conventional quoting methods.
