Manufacturing
Transparent estimators for making, machining and material planning. Every live tool includes a reviewed method, example and limitations.
3D print cost Estimate filament, electricity, hands-on labour and failed-print allowance for an FDM part. CNC cycle time Estimate machining cycle and total batch time from cutting length, feed, rapids, tool changes and setup. CNC speeds & feeds Calculate spindle speed, table feed, feed per revolution and cutting time from metric tool data. Laser cutting cost Estimate laser cutting time, machine cost, labour, production cost and a selling price at your target gross margin. Material weight Calculate the weight of common stock shapes from dimensions, material density and quantity. Dimensional weight Compare a parcel’s volumetric weight with its actual weight using the carrier divisor you choose.
