Part to Plan

Tell us the job. Send us the part.

Answer a few questions about the work that is hard on your floor and drop in a part file. It takes about ten minutes and costs nothing. An engineer reads your part and writes back within one business day: a first simulated bend plan where our planner can make one, and a plain list of what your drawing needs where it cannot yet. For anything else, an engineer reads your answers and writes back with what we would look at first.

How it works

Three steps. You decide after each one.

  1. Tell us the job

    What is hard on your floor, in your own words. A few taps for the rest.

  2. Show us the part

    Drop in a DXF, STEP or a drawing. Volumes and materials if you know them.

  3. Get a first look back

    An engineer reads it and writes back within one business day.

What a simulated plan is

For a press brake part: the bend order, the tools, how a robot would hold and turn the part, and what a person would still do by hand. It is planned on our reference press brake cell, not yet on your machine, and an engineer checks it before you see it. If our planner cannot plan your part yet, you get a plain list of what your drawing needs instead, such as units, a thickness or bend lines.

What it is not

It is not a price, a cycle time or a promise about output. A simulation is a first look, not a measurement. If you want to go further, the next step is a first visit to your floor, at no charge. Numbers come later, from paid work that is priced in writing before you say yes.
