Key features and capabilities
Quote generation: Professional and customised job quotations can be generated in less than ten minutes.
Automated costing: DieQuote automates the calculation of machining times, material usage, and other cost factors based on CAD data and user-defined parameters.
Blank development: The software provides tools for optimising blank shapes and sizes, and nesting to ensure efficient material utilisation.
Materials database: DieQuote includes a comprehensive and customisable database of materials and can simulate the forming process to predict material behaviour and identify potential forming feasibility issues.
Identifying operations: Users can identify geometrical features for forming, flanging, piercing, trimming, and restriking operations. The system will be capable of generating an editable operations line-up based on those features in future releases.
Standard components: Estimates account for the general components required to build a die, and users can customise component suppliers and costs.
CAD integration: DieQuote interfaces easily with any CAD design software with direct data import and analysis.
Labor rate management: Users can easily manage and update labor rates for different skill levels and departments.
Overhead allocation: DieQuote provides flexible options for allocating overhead costs based on accounting practices.
