PRECISION ENGINEERING · FIRST-PASS RFQ ESTIMATING

CNC quote triage
before estimator time
gets burned.

Upload a STEP file and get a practical first-pass CNC quote breakdown for setup, machining time, material, markup, unit price, and batch totals. Built for workshops and engineering teams that need a fast commercial view before committing proper estimating time.

A faster first pass before the proper quote

STEP geometry analysis

Reads native B-rep solid geometry using FreeCAD’s OpenCASCADE kernel. Intended for real CAD models, not mesh approximations or hand-entered guesswork.

  • Volume and surface-area analysis
  • Hole and feature signals
  • Surface-type classification
  • Assembly noise filtering

Machining estimate logic

First-pass estimating logic shaped around CNC quoting: setup, machining allowance, material, quantity scaling, and commercial markup.

  • Setup and programming allowance
  • Surface finish and feature factors
  • Workholding complexity allowance
  • Batch quantity scaling

RFQ triage in seconds

Use it to decide whether an RFQ is worth quoting properly, needs clarification, or is commercially weak before spending serious estimator time.

  • Material cost breakdown
  • Setup and machining split
  • Unit and total pricing
  • Fast first-pass commercial view

How it works

1

Upload STEP file

Upload a STEP model, with an optional PDF drawing where available.

2

Analyse geometry

The system extracts geometry, volume, surfaces, holes, and feature signals.

3

Build first-pass estimate

Setup, machining time, material cost, markup, and batch pricing are calculated.

Review the quote

Use the breakdown as a first-pass RFQ view before committing estimator time.

Built for quote-heavy engineering workflows

For workshops

Get a fast first-pass view before deciding whether to spend time producing a formal quote.

For estimators

Use the breakdown as a triage aid, not as a replacement for engineering review.

For repeat RFQs

Keep quote history, export PDFs, and build a cleaner trail around customer discussions.

Quote tool manual & customer brief

Two quick reads that explain how AEROQ Pro works and how it fits a typical CNC RFQ workflow.

Built for engineering confidentiality

Uploaded files are used to generate the quote breakdown and are not retained as a customer design library. AEROQ Pro is intended as a first-pass estimating aid for RFQ triage — not a replacement for experienced engineering judgement.
