CNC costing features and workflows
Choose the right starting point for your job. Public calculators are free without an account. Private quotes, shop data and drawing analysis belong to the separate Pro offering.
Free quote assistant for CNC parts
Calculate CNC quotes for free: the rule-based quote bot asks for material, times, hourly rates and terms, explains every entry and calculates full cost and quote price.
AI quote from technical drawings
Analyse technical drawings for CNC quotes with AI: inspect image regions, document features, ask for missing details and calculate traceably.
Quote management for job shops
All CNC quotes in a list with detail view: documents, detail review, costing, questions and approval in one colour-coded process bar.
Free CNC calculator for ChatGPT and Claude
CNC calculation via MCP: free calculators, material search, rule-based quote guidance, quantity scenarios and skills for clean calculation from drawings.
Work preparation for CNC quotes
Prepare CNC jobs by checking drawing requirements, material and stock, planning operations and resolving open questions before releasing a quote.
Calculate manufacturing operation costs
Combine turning, milling, sawing and other operations using your own setup times, cycle times and hourly rates in a traceable cost calculation.
Machine data and rates for CNC quotes
Maintain your own machines, plant and tools for CNC quotes: check capabilities, cost information and source documents before approving resources.
Capture manufacturing inquiries and line items
Bring CNC inquiry text, line items and documents together, review missing information and assign a checked calculation to each quoted part.
Customer portal for quote questions and approvals
Collect customer replies, files and approvals with a CNC quote: deliberately create access for a specific inquiry and revoke it when needed.
CNC planned versus actual cost comparison
Compare planned and actual manufacturing costs: understand time variances, extra costs and contribution using your own production figures.
Use CNC calculators through an API or MCP
Integrate CNC calculations with defined inputs and results into your workflows using the public tool catalogue, JSON interface and MCP connection.
Calculate multi-part CNC quotes
Quote multiple CNC parts together: calculate quantities, material and manufacturing per item and account for additional services separately.
