How efficiently do you calculate quote prices and manufacturing times today?

Do you estimate the manufacturing times and costs for custom machined parts based on experience or – at most – calculate using self-made spreadsheets?

While this still might work well for simple parts, it quickly becomes tedious for complex turning and milling parts. The calculation for these usually require consulting with your technical personnel and checking back with material suppliers or external partners. A CAM simulation is often required in order to get as close as possible to your machine shop reality and your actual costs. Several hours to days can quickly pass before the offer is ready to be send out to the customer.

Our case study shows: The more complex the part, the higher the efficiency gain through the use of an automated calculation software compared to conventional quote calculation methods.
