classmate CLOUD: Calculate manufacturing costs of turned, milled and bent parts easily online

classmate CLOUD is an online platform that calculates manufacturing costs of parts ahead of production. The service is particularly suitable for manufacturers of parts who manufacture turned, milled and bent parts and want to calculate valid offers quickly. Other tooling methods are planned for the future. Designers and technical buyers asking for quotes also benefit from valid calculations. The people behind the platform are the data management experts from simus systems in Karlsruhe, Germany. classmate CLOUD is based on experience with the classmate PLAN software that can precalculate costs of parts in seconds and that has been used by well-known clients in the industry for years. In this video, we will demonstrate how classmate CLOUD works using our sample models and also which data on the manufacturing costs of the part you will be shown. First, please select a part from our database. Once registered, you can upload and calculate your own models. The software recognizes models from all current CAD systems as well as neutral formats. Geometrical data of parts is analyzed in seconds. classmate CLOUD shows you a dynamic 3D preview of the model. You can display different views and datasheets by selecting them in the menu. If the model contains data on the material, the information is incorporated in the selected material group. In addition, suitable semi-finished products including their pricing details are shown for the material group. Additional information is available by clicking on the info button. The default values for an hourly rate, setup time, cutting parameters and additional time are based on empirical values of common general conditions for manufacturers of parts. After registering, you can adjust these values individually to those of your machines. After the calculation, you will be able to see immediately which faces are the most expensive because these are highlighted in color in a traffic light system from green to red. Hover over the model with your mouse to get even more accurate information on each face. The manufacturing costs are shown according to the batch size. The price for one single part has been calculated. The computational factor to calculate the markup can be specified once registered. The costs are shown in two charts presented by machine groups and further divided into setup and production costs per unit. When hovering over the info button, you can see more information on the selected machine groups. The time needed for the individual production steps can be viewed in detail. Detailed cost and process reports show the full information at a glance and can be exported. Once registered, you can also select or deselect machines for your calculations, determine hourly rates and customize machine data for calculation purposes. Hence, the calculation reaches a high degree of accuracy overall that you can count on. Go ahead and sign up for your free trial period now! https://classmate.cloud
