AI-NC provides an AI-powered solution to estimate CNC cycle times, aiding mechanical engineers in generating faster and more accurate quotes. Their software analyzes CAD designs (STEP files) to predict setup orientations, tooling requirements, feeds, and speeds. Users can customize parameters like machine tools, materials, and workholding to align with their specific shop setups. The platform also identifies potential design flaws that could lead to under-quoting by highlighting expensive operations. The process involves uploading CAD files, configuring shop parameters, reviewing machining predictions, and cross-checking machinability reports to ensure accurate estimations and avoid downstream issues.
