Faster – more accurate – integrated into 3D CAD: This is how the new version of the online platform costing24 from simus systems works. Those who upload CAD models of turned, milled, flat, and bent parts there can obtain individual manufacturing costs in three simple steps. This is how cost-oriented design, make-or-buy decisions, energy efficiency calculations, or manufacturing quotes are created in the age of artificial intelligence!

In the first step, you upload any 3D model of the requested component to the platform and select raw material and surface treatment. The software recognizes the details and features of the geometry. From this, the suitable manufacturing processes and machines of the cutting or forming processes are derived. This works with all common file formats – and even directly integrated into SolidWorks, Solid Edge, or Inventor.

Individual Adjustment

Now the submitted calculation parameters can be adjusted according to the desired accuracy. Registered users can individually set hourly rates, cutting values, as well as setup and auxiliary times, adapt the virtual machine park, and select calculation variants. Recently, even the cutting volume can be taken into account when uploading a raw part.

Clear Reporting

In just a few seconds, costing24 presents a detailed results page with all the details of the calculation. The manufacturing costs are broken down into setup and piece costs. They can be read in tiers according to batch sizes, including processing times. Cost-intensive areas are highlighted in color on a preview model, making it easy to identify cost drivers at first glance. The costs of post-processing and finishing are also taken into account.

Realistic Calculation of Manufacturing Costs From a quick cost check to individual calculation, from target costing to quote comparison and order security, costing24 opens up many possibilities for manufacturers and buyers of machined components. The offered usage models are equally flexible: After a 10-day free trial, one can choose between individual or company-wide usage.

Product Carbon Footprint

Costing24 also provides detailed information about the CO2 emissions associated with setup, material usage, and processing. The Product Carbon Footprint is reported per piece. This allows suppliers and manufacturers to easily and straightforwardly fulfill their reporting obligations.
In addition, suppliers can integrate www.costing24.com into their website in their own design. This provides their customers with an efficient quoting platform.
