Why Machine Shops
Choose

MicroEstimating

Precision manufacturers need more than a spreadsheet-they
need a system that understands the shop floor

Accuracy That Protects Margins

MicroEstimating uses real machining data and proven estimating logic to prevent the costly mistakes that erode profitability

Speed Without Guesswork

Respond to RFQs faster-without oversimplifying complex parts or relying on tribal knowledge

Built for Real Manufacturing

Designed for CNC machining, complex materials, tight tolerances, and production realities that lightweight tools miss

Your Quoting Process Is Costing
You Jobs-and Profit

Slow Quotes Lose Work

Customers move fast. When quotes take days instead of hours, opportunities go to competitors who respond first

Limited Quoting Capacity
Manual estimating and spreadsheet-based processes limit how many RFQs your team can realistically quote
Inaccurate Quotes Hurt Margins
Oversimplified assumptions around tooling, materials, and processes lead to estimates that fail in production
You need more than a
spreadsheet
We offer a system that understands complex parts, machines,
tooling, and materials

Speeds & Feeds Intelligence

Use proven speeds and feeds data to calculate real cycle times-based on materials, tooling, and machining conditions

Activity-Based Cost Modeling

Estimate costs based on real shop-floor activities, not rolled-up line items or historical averages

Advanced Feature Recognition (AFR)

Automatically identify machining features directly from CAD and apply the correct operations, tooling, and logic

Manufacturing-Aware Estimating Logic

Apply logic that understands setups, tolerances, operations, and process constraints

Built-In CAD & CAM Intelligence

Analyze parts and simulate machining directly within MicroEstimating no external CAM required

Production-Scale Estimating Engine

Handle higher RFQ volume and more complex parts with an estimating engine built to scale

How MicroEstimating Works
From CAD to cost in minutes-powered by real manufacturing intelligence,
not assumptions
1. Analyze the Part

Understand manufacturing complexity before quoting

• Ingests CAD and part data

• Identifies features, tolerances, and materials

• Frames cost around how the part will actually be manufactured

2. Simulate Machining

Apply physics-based machining intelligence to every quote

• Uses real speeds and feeds

• Accounts for tooling, materials, and processes

• Calculates cycle times based on shop-floor reality

3. Generate the Quote

Turn manufacturing data into a defensible estimate

• Converts cost models into structured quotes

• Every number backed by transparent logic

• Easy to review internally and defend with customers

4. Scale Quoting

Respond faster as volume and complexity grow

• Automates time-consuming estimating tasks

• Frees senior machinists to stay on the floor

• Quote more RFQs without adding headcount

Built for Shops That
Care About Accuracy
