Estimate time and cost
in under 90 seconds

Estimating calculates the expected time, cost, materials, and processes needed to make a part. Quoting turns that estimate into a customer-facing price, including margin, commercial terms and delivery. AMFG helps machine shops create more consistent estimates that support faster, more accurate quotes.

A Geometric Estimating Engine analyses 3D CAD files to identify machinable features, understand machining requirements, and calculate time and cost. AMFG’s Geometric Estimating Engine helps machine shops generate quick, accurate and reliable time estimates from 3D CAD files, reducing guesswork in the quoting process.

Geometric Estimating helps machine shops calculate machining time and cost in seconds with reliable accuracy. CAM software is used later to create toolpaths for production. AMFG’s Geometric Estimating Engine is designed to support faster quoting decisions, not replace CAM programming.

Geometric Estimating improves accuracy by using part geometry instead of relying only on tribal knowledge, estimator experience, or spreadsheet assumptions. AMFG creates a logic-based baseline estimate that can be adjusted by the estimator, helping machine shops quote complex parts faster and with more confidence.

Yes. Machine shops can modify AMFG’s estimating logic to reflect their own tools, cutting speeds, machines, and shop-floor capabilities. This helps keep estimates aligned with real-world production conditions, so quotes better reflect how the shop actually makes parts.
