This is how our calculation software works:

Transfer of the request email to the system

The CNC calculation software from goCAD makes your calculation of CNC components simple and efficient. Transfer customer inquiries directly from the e-mail into the system. The software captures all relevant data for preparing quotations for machining and sheet metal components, minimizing manual input errors and optimizing work processes.

Scan of CAD data and technical drawing

The CNC calculation software from goCAD automatically analyzes your CAD data and technical drawings. The AI-supported evaluation reads out all relevant information for the calculation of machining and sheet metal components. All common file formats for CAD files (.STP, .STEP, .SLDPRT, .DWG, .DXF) and technical drawings (.PDF, .TIF, .JPG) are recorded.

Calculation of prices, preparation of the offer

After scanning the CAD data, the CNC calculation software from goCAD calculates the exact price. This includes an automatic calculation of production times and raw material requirements. The software quickly generates precise quotations. This saves you time and means you can always offer your customers reliable and competitive prices.

Send a quote at the touch of a button

With goCAD, you can send quotations at the touch of a button. The CNC calculation software automatically generates an e-mail with a quote customized to your company. Your customers receive a professional quote in no time at all. Thanks to automation, you will never miss an inquiry again and ensure that you have submitted the first quotation to the customer. This is how you increase your turnover profitably!

Scan of the CAD file and technical drawing

The CAD and technical drawing scan is a central component of goCAD’s CNC calculation software, which was specially developed for the calculation of machining and sheet metal components. The automatic scan extracts all relevant information directly from the 3D models and technical drawings. This data enables precise and fast calculations by recognizing and taking into account critical manufacturing parameters such as threads, tolerances and materials. The goCAD software can be customized to each company’s machinery, allowing specific machine configurations and production capacities to be optimally utilized. All data is managed centrally, which improves clarity and increases the efficiency of work processes. This reduces manual errors, optimizes the ordering process and helps to increase productivity in the manufacturing industry.

Calculation and preparation of the offer

The CNC calculation software from goCAD makes quotation preparation and calculation in metal construction more efficient and accurate. The software uses artificial intelligence to calculate component prices for individual drawing components fully automatically. Based on the specific requirements of the component request, such as material type and availability, the system performs a precise calculation for machined and sheet metal components. It takes into account all relevant factors, including material costs, machine running times and set-up and programming costs, which are determined by machine simulations. Thanks to continuous optimization using AI, the software constantly adapts to deliver even more accurate calculations. It’s easy to use: enter the relevant data into the software and click on “calculate” in the top right-hand corner. In a matter of seconds, you will receive a precise quote that saves time and increases efficiency.

A configurator for the creation of 2D special shapes

A configurator for the creation of 2D special shapes enables users to design individual geometric shapes quickly and easily. This user-friendly online configurator offers an intuitive interface that allows parameters such as dimensions, angles and radii to be customized. The software automatically creates customized 2D designs that can be used directly for manufacturing. The sheet metal part configurator reduces the need for manual drawings, saves time and minimizes errors, which is particularly beneficial in metalworking and other manufacturing areas. By integrating into existing systems, the configurator optimizes the entire design and manufacturing process.

Upload request,
Generation of quotation

With a web store for contract manufacturers customers upload their drawings and specifications themselves. The software automatically generates a quote in just a few seconds, so that the customer receives a quote immediately and 24/7, without any effort on their part.

Ordering,
Interface to ERP

Customers can accept and order the offer directly online. They always retain full control and can check the requests and reject them if necessary. Integration with ERP systems ensures that all relevant data is transferred seamlessly, which further minimizes administrative effort.

Start of
production

Once the order has been placed online, the production data is automatically forwarded to the downstream systems and departments. Production can begin immediately, eliminating waiting times and maximizing the efficiency of the entire manufacturing process.

goCAD is used successfully in these areas.

Machining

For machining, the software enables the automated preparation of quotations for turning, milling (3-axis and 5-axis processes), turning/milling and surface treatment technologies. All relevant parameters, in particular the runtime calculation, are calculated automatically and a quotation is created.

Sheet metal processing

In sheet metal processing, the software supports the calculation of laser cuts, folded/bent components and complex welded assemblies. All component and production-specific parameters for sheet metal processing are automatically recorded and a quotation is created.

Cuts

The software supports cutting processes for sheets, round and hollow bars. It also supports special configurations that are pre-processed using a laser, water jet, oxyfuel or plasma process step. All production parameters are created automatically and a quotation is calculated.

Sustainable development thanks to artificial intelligence!

Sustainable development is playing an increasingly important role in the modern manufacturing industry, and artificial intelligence (AI) offers valuable support in this regard. The use of AI in CNC calculation software makes metal construction calculations more efficient and resource-saving. AI analyses material usage and production methods to minimize waste and optimize energy consumption. This technology also ensures that runtime calculations for machining and sheet metal processing become increasingly precise, reducing material requirements and environmental impact. The automation and continuous optimization of processes not only helps to reduce costs, but also promotes sustainable practices. With AI-based solutions, manufacturing companies can increase the sustainability of their production processes while improving efficiency and productivity.
