Costimator is very fast fabrication cost estimating and quoting software for sheet metal parts with hundreds of cost models. Costimator quickly generates cost estimates of fabricated parts and weldments with or without the aid of a 3D model. Estimators having access to 3D models can utilize 3Dfx, which employs feature recognition technology to drastically speed up the estimating process. Costimator users can turn around cost estimates for fabricated parts and assemblies in minutes rather than hours (or even days). Costimator supports the cost estimating of a wide range of fabrication processes, including:
Costimator contains hundreds of fabrication process cost models that make estimating sheet metal parts and assembly a breeze.
Users that have access to 3D models can utilize the system's 3Dfx tool to:
The Sheet Metal feature recognition library within 3Dfx recognizes a wide variety of fabrication features (perimeter, internal cutouts, bends, etc.).
The feature parameters are automatically mapped to the appropriate Costimator cost models to quickly and accurately calculate cycle times and costs.
SPEED! ACCURACY! CONSISTENCY!
Supported 3Dfx Sheet Metal Features
Costimator comes out-of-the-box with hundreds of sheet metal process cost models that enable shops to significantly increase their quoting throughput while bringing a high degree of accuracy and consistency to their estimating process.
The result is a considerable increase in your RFQ win percentage, revenues and profitability.
Gardner Manufacturing has provides custom sheet metal manufacturing to a variety of industries. Gardner's 160,000 sq. foot facility features a robust array of manufacturing capabilities including a sheet metal fabrication, welding and a paint facility.
