RFQdecoder

RFQdecoder estimates the manufacturing cost of an industrial part from its technical drawing. Attach a PDF, DXF or STEP file and give the material and the quantity. RFQdecoder returns an estimated cost broken down line by line: raw material, manufacturing operations with their machine and time, setups per batch, scrap, overheads and margin, with a list of what the estimate does not include (for example transport or tooling).

Supported processes include machining (milling, turning) and sheet metal (laser cutting, bending). Typical uses: preparing an RFQ, comparing a supplier quote with an independent estimate, or seeing how the unit price changes with the batch size.

If the material or the quantity is missing, RFQdecoder asks for it. Results are estimates to be confirmed, especially when the drawing is incomplete or hard to read. RFQdecoder does not place orders and does not contact suppliers.
