Built in rectangular and free-form nesting
The rapid component nesting feature automatically assesses the material usage of different sheet sizes preferred by the user, thereby determining the optimum raw material cost. It takes into account factors such as grain direction and remnant size limitations, as necessary. Free-form nesting (powered by JETCAM) is available as an optional extra.
Handling Assemblies of any size
The browser-based estimating software can handle individual parts or whole assemblies. Sophisticated revision control of parts allow to control assembly revisions with ease.
Automated workflow and material allocation
Alongside the system's automatic workflow suggestions and material-operation associations, users have the option to conveniently modify both using a fast and user-friendly drag-and-drop function.
Automated calculation of consumables and additional labour
In addition to the standard hourly rate, the software accurately factors in the costs of consumables and additional labour. For laser operations, it precisely calculates the usage of cutting gas and electricity based on the specific laser type, cutting power, and required cutting gas flow.
Rapid quoting on any device
To expedite the quote acceptance process, temporary quotes can be generated in urgent situations, even if certain material and subcontract prices are missing or unverified. Once the price is updated, the customer will receive a corrected quote.
