Our History
1982 - Micro Estimating Created
The first version of Micro Estimating is created. Running on DOS, it allowed machine shops to estimate manual machines and quickly introduced cycle time calculators for CNC Machines.

1998 - Acquired by Screw Machine Dynasty
In 1998, a third-generation screw machine shop owner/operator acquired Micro Estimating to ensure it continued to expand as the most accurate estimating software available. Under his leadership, Micro would go on to add cycle time calculators for Automatic Screw Machines, Swiss CNC, and more.

2019 - Acquired by 3D Printing Pioneer
A new era began in 2019 when we changed hands yet again to someone who was a huge fan of accurate estimation and a pioneer in manufacturing, creating the first instant online marketplace for 3D printed parts.

Built on Manufacturing Expertise
Ron Barranco is the owner and president of MicroEstimating, bringing decades of hands-on experience as a machinist, manufacturing technologist, and early pioneer in additive manufacturing. Long before 3D printing became mainstream, Ron was working at the intersection of advanced manufacturing and software, helping push the industry forward through both innovation and real-world application. His career spans traditional CNC machining, process engineering, and early adoption of additive manufacturing technologies, giving him a rare, practical understanding of how parts are actually made.
"Manufacturing must be modeled accurately, not approximated, if shops want quotes they can trust and margins they can defend."
What Our Customers Say
"Quoting parts by hand takes a lot of time and you never really know if you are being accurate and consistent. As we were growing, Micro estimating allowed us to quote many parts on a daily basis. It has been a cornerstone in our business success for years, helping us maintain a competitive edge in the industry."
Drew W.
Metal-Tech Mfg. Inc.
"In the competitive marketplace for contract manufacturing, particularly for complex mid to high-volume parts and assemblies, Teton Machine Company relies heavily on Micro Estimating. Our investment in advanced machine tools and skilled human resources is complemented by Micro Estimating’s software, which we tailor to our shop’s specific capabilities. This allows us to quickly and accurately quote for a variety of CNC machines and mills, enabling us to win more jobs and drive our company’s growth."
Jim F.
Teton Machine Company
"MicroEstimating has helped us reach another level. We provide many more quotes to our customers on time, creating more orders. It also helps me to be more precise, therefore, more aggressive on all the quotes. This software has helped me break into industries that I was not competitive in previous, and get more orders for my current customers."
