With AI, the online calculation of milling, turning, and stamping-bending parts is even more precise: From now on, the AI-supported evaluation of technical drawing information is available to all users of costing24. While the online platform automatically analyzes the geometry of 3D CAD models as before, AI now additionally interprets dimensions, tolerances, material specifications, and other annotations from technical drawings. This manufacturing- and cost-relevant information refines the calculation results.
A 3D CAD model describes the geometry of a component but does not necessarily contain all the information that influences its production and thus the costs. Often, additional requirements can be found in the technical drawing. These include dimensions, tolerances, material specifications, and other annotations. costing24 can now analyze, interpret, and make this information usable for calculations with AI support. This provides a broader data basis to determine the actual manufacturing effort.
Bringing geometry and drawing together
The proven calculation methodology fundamentally remains unchanged: costing24 analyzes the geometry of an uploaded 3D model and derives suitable manufacturing processes and machines from it. Users can individually adjust hourly rates, cutting values, setup and auxiliary times, as well as their virtual machine park.
However, from now on, information from the technical drawing will complement the calculation basis. This allows for manufacturing requirements to be considered that cannot be derived from the pure component geometry. The calculation of milling, turning, and stamping-bending parts thus gains in accuracy and reliability.
Within seconds, costing24 provides a detailed calculation with setup and piece costs, processing times, and different batch sizes. This makes the platform suitable for quick cost checks, make-or-buy decisions, as well as offer comparisons and order security.
