Automate CAD Part Analysis for Accurate Quoting
Most manufacturing companies utilize a variety of methods to generate sales quotes based on incoming Request For Quotes (RFQ). These methods are generally comprised of quoting spreadsheets, off-the-shelf quoting software, and quoting modules that are apart ERP systems. Also factored in the quoting process is tribal knowledge that is required to accurately include necessary fabrication / manufacturing steps to build customized products.
With regards to customized and engineered to order products, a time-consuming quoting process can be the manual analysis of 2D and 3D CAD Drawings / Models. The Global Edge Engineering Assistant provides the capability to automatically analyze 2D DXF Flat Files and 3D Sheet Metal CAD Models and provide the necessary CAD Part Parameters which can help drive accurate and timely quoting.
These CAD Part Parameters can be provided to and integrated into your existing quoting software to speed up the quoting process. The following is a partial list of the CAD Part Parameters that are automatically generated by the Global Edge Engineering Assistant:

- Material / Thickness / Part Weight / Bend Radius
- Blank / Flat (Length & Width)
- Cutouts / Holes (Count & Size)
- Minimum / Maximum Bend Length
- Minimum / Maximum Bend Angle
- Minimum / Maximum Flange Width
- Minimum Pem Hole to Bend Line Gap
- Minimum Embossment to Bend Line Gap
- Minimum Louver to Bend Line Gap
- Maximum Up / Maximum Down Bend
- Fold / Hem / Extrude Counts
- Minimum Taper / Die Cut to Bend Line Gap
Cut Your Quoting Time By 50 Percent
