Screen recording of the prototype: drag STEP and PDF files in line by line, after which the tool analyses them automatically into a substantiated quote with calculation, routing and margin.
STEPfiles
A tool that analyses 3D files automatically and prepares the calculation of CNC quotes
The challenge
- Quotes for CNC work require manual analysis of 3D files (STEP format).
- An engineer assesses the 3D model, the operations, the material and the tolerances on the basis of experience.
- As enquiries grow, a bottleneck appears in calculation capacity.
The solution
- Requirements gathered from several pilot companies in the sector.
- Research into feature-recognition techniques for geometry recognition.
- A proof of concept with an interface for operations, complexity and cost price, validated against quotes drawn up manually beforehand.
