Run AEROQ entirely inside your own facility
A self-hosted Docker build for defence, aerospace and NDA-bound work — one image, fully air-gapped, installs in minutes. Your STEP files never leave your network.
- Fully offline — zero external calls, ever
- Unlimited quoting on your own hardware
- Licensed per site — priced by a conversation, not a credit card
A fast first pass — before you burn estimator hours.
An RFQ lands, a STEP file is attached, and someone has to decide whether it’s worth quoting properly. That’s the exact moment AEROQ Pro is built for.
Upload the STEP file
Start from the CAD model. No long forms, no spreadsheet, no card for the first try.
Review the 3D preview
See the part and the geometry signals that drive the estimate.
Get the cost breakdown
Setup, machining, material, markup and batch totals — separated, so the number’s easy to sense-check.
Export the quote PDF
Keep it for RFQ review, the customer conversation, or estimator handoff.
Clear cost lines, not one mystery number.
Every estimate breaks the job into the figures that actually matter — so you can challenge it in seconds and decide: quote it, clarify it, or walk away.
Example uses the public calculator defaults: qty 10, £65/hr, £5 material per part, 35% markup. Real STEP quotes follow the uploaded model and your inputs.
Everything points at one decision: is this RFQ worth quoting?
