We are very pleased to present the brand-new calculation with near-net-shape stocks such as castings in this newsletter. We believe the new feature is a real game changer to cover resource-saving and economical manufacturing processes in Spanflug MAKE and calculate even more efficiently. We have also optimized the calculation for countersinks and if you would like to recap your Spanflug MAKE basics, or show it to a colleague, we recommend our beginner’s webinar.

Quoting solution enables calculation with castings and other near-net-shape stocks
You can now include custom, near-net-shape stock geometries in the automated quote calculation. This means that users can now also calculate manufacturing times and costs more efficiently for preforms that are manufactured using other processes, such as casting, injection molding, 3D printing and laser cutting, and are then further machined by turning and milling.
Spanflug MAKE is the first solution available on the market that can automatically calculate not only standard stocks such as bars and plates, but also individual, near-net-shape stocks. The new functionality thus supports a resource-efficient and, overall more economical manufacturing of parts.
How it works
In Spanflug MAKE, you can now upload the CAD model of a custom stock and then automatically calculate the finishing turning and milling operations as usual. Only the volumes and surfaces to be machined are considered in the calculation.
In order to visualize how the finished part is positioned in the stock for the calculation, the 3D viewer in Spanflug MAKE has been extended. In addition, Spanflug has created an intuitive option for the secure upload of custom stock geometries. The new feature will initially be available free of charge. You can see exactly how it works in our short video.
The tools that are used for the manufacturing of countersinks in the calculation of your CNC parts are now differentiated even more precisely. When selecting the manufacturing process for a countersink, we now consider which tools are commonly available.
Depending on the machine tool and the geometry of the countersink a countersink drill, a solid carbide drill, a mill or a turning tool will be used. You can see which tool is used for the countersink in the tool list. Thanks to the more precise selection of the tool, you can now use Spanflug MAKE to calculate even more accurate manufacturing times as the basis for your quotes. When it comes to the order, the tool list makes work preparation easier for you and shows you exactly which tools are needed to manufacture the part.
In our Webinar “Calculating prices and machining times for CNC parts within seconds with Spanflug MAKE”, you will learn how you can automate your calculation and quoting processes for CNC parts in just a few steps, create consistent quotes more quickly, increase customer satisfaction, and optimize their cost structure in the long term.
You can learn how the part analysis and calculation based on CAD models works, and how quickly and easily it can be implemented and adapted to individual requirements.
