Cost Engineering
Software for Manufacturing
- Micro Estimating Systems, Inc. is the world leader Manufacturing Cost Estimating and Manufacturing Process Management for the Machining and Fabrication Industries.
Increase Profitability
MicroEstimating increases profitability and accuracy from the minute you start using it. Whether you are an Original Equipment Manufacturer, Contract Manufacturer, Job Shop, or a buyer of Custom Parts requiring Should Costing, our software can be tailored and calibrated to fit any estimating or costing requirements.
The software incorporates several unique and powerful tools, combining manufacturing knowledge bases, with process engineering and costing formulas to produce precise estimates. Customers report that estimated costs are consistently within 1% to 2% of actual costs.
Feature Recognition Estimating
With the available Feature Recognition technology of Micro Estimating, 3D part drawings are interpolated to determine true net CNC machine tool production cycles. Seamless SolidWorks integration produces reliable engineered process plans to assure estimated cost will be the manufacturing cost. For 2D drawings, simply click on features to be cut using the built-in intelligent CAD system or our on screen smart digitizing. Also available is DFMPro an easy to use Design for Manufacturability (DFM) tool that easily identifies costly manufacturing operations. Customers often save hours, even days of engineering time using our robust tools and feature recognition.
How it Works
The accuracy of the software is a result of its unique design.
One of its proprietary features is the equipment and operation specific cycle
time calculators. To calculate real world estimates, the software
includes databases of established machine tool brands. These, along with the
included databases of metal working operations, standards, and formulas provide
all the necessary tools to precisely determine and establish manufacturing
costs. And, because all the databases are easily calibrated, the software
becomes a virtual simulation of a facility, its machines, and operations.What it Does
Micro Estimating auto-generates detailed step-by-step, operation-by-operation documentation. All machine tool process layouts contain setup details, including all tooling required, and the recommended speeds and feeds to use. Quality measurements, outside operations, and everything from receiving raw material to packaging and shipping the final product are calculated, priced and documented.
Integrated Multi-Level Bill of Materials
The system contains a fully integrated Bill of Material application. Each Bill can be nested infinitely to handle any size assembly. They can contain purchased as well as manufactured parts. As prices or costs change, they are updated automatically with new pricing, or cost information. Importing a SolidWorks Bill of Material is a standard system function. Customers consistently affirm; " It's the best Bill of Materials software available."
Engineered Profits
Micro Estimating's software becomes the nucleus of profitable
manufacturing. It empowers factory personnel with consistent, reliable,
comprehensive, and accurate information for facilitating and enhancing productivity.
The software creates a continuous improvement circle of profitability and productivity
by unifying management, sales, design, purchasing, engineering, accounting, and manufacturing.
