Estimators can combine the software’s functionality withonline material-pricing options to generate “what-if” scenarios for part production. Thiscan help users determine costs for various manufacturing and tooling items to identify the best process. In addition to quoting manufactured parts, the system’s process plans, routings and other reports can support customer service and sales, the company says.
