CAM Assist Cycle Time Estimator, a new tool that accelerates the CNC machining estimation process and eliminates bottlenecks in the quoting workflow, allows users to turn around estimates up to 20 times faster, depending on the complexity of the part.
As a result, estimators using CloudNC’s CAM Assist solution within Mastercam or Autodesk Fusion can generate accurate machining times and tool path strategies in bulk for 3-axis and 3+2 axis parts in minutes. They can then export that data seamlessly and integrate it with their estimation workflow - enabling them to quote for and win more work, while using their resources more efficiently.
The Cycle Time Estimator is a new feature for CloudNC’s CAM Assist AI solution, which accelerates CAM programming. By using CAM Assist’s machining algorithms and tool selection to carry out estimates, Cycle Time Estimator reduces human inconsistencies in the estimating process, improving and standardizing quote accuracy.
The solution also provides meta-data for each part, including part volume, stock volume, and other relevant data such as machining efficiency and number of operations, enabling the estimates to be easily integrated into existing workflows.
The Cycle Time Estimator is available as a feature for CloudNC’s CAM Assist solution for Autodesk Fusion and Mastercam today.
