What is CAD-2-Cost & CAD2C?

CAD-2-Cost, CADtoCost and CAD2C are synonyms for a concept that describes the integration of computer-aided design (CAD) with cost calculation processes. It is an automation solution that connects CAD data directly with cost analysis tools. This enables accurate costing and saves time and resources.

The CAD files can be imported directly into our caculation software. Thanks to the cooperation with our partner shouldcosting GmbH, the 3D import module can efficiently capture data on material, dimensions and production parameters from the CAD drawings.
The integrated viewer enables a direct and visual representation of your products in the software. The module supports all common CAD file formats such as .step and .catia. This module is ideal for manufacturing processes in metal and plastics processing

Your calculations can be optimized by importing PDFs or TIFFS directly into our calculation software. Developed with our partner shouldcosting GmbH, the 2D import module allows you to extract important information from your 2D drawings in seconds.
Within seconds, technical details and manufacturing specifics such as weld seams and coatings are automatically captured. This data is converted into specific data sets for material and process costs. This saves you time and increases the accuracy of your calculations.
The 3D module can be seamlessly combined with the 2D module to provide a comprehensive solution for your calculations.
