EngamPrice

From a STEP model to a machining plan and time — in minutes

EngamPrice helps workshops and machine shops answer the question every quote starts with: how long will this part take to make? It reads your 3D model, recognises its features and proposes how to machine it.

01Upload a STEP modelA single part, straight from your CAD system.
02Geometry is analysedThe results are shown on the 3D model for you to check.
03A machining plan is proposedSetups, order of operations and tools picked from your own tool library.
04You get the real CAM timePer operation and in total, from the generated toolpaths for your machine and material.

Real toolpaths

See the CAM toolpaths, not a guess

For every operation EngamPrice generates the actual CAM toolpaths and shows them on your part: cutting moves in blue, rapid moves in grey. The machining time you get is the time of these toolpaths — not a rule of thumb.

Machining sequence

Machining sequence with times from the CAM toolpaths

EngamPrice orders the operations by setup and tool, so you change tools as few times as possible. Every pass and every operation shows its own time, taken from the generated CAM toolpaths, and the setup shows the total.

  • Setups, passes and operations in the order they run
  • Time for every operation, pass and setup
  • Tool changes counted into the total
  • Missing tools are flagged, so you know what to add to your library

Why EngamPrice

Faster quoting

Stop estimating machining time by hand. Upload the model, review the plan and have a defensible time in minutes.

Your machines, tools and materials

Results are calculated for your own machine limits, your tools and your materials, with cutting data per ISO material group.

You stay in control

Every recognised feature, setup and tool can be reviewed and corrected before the final time is shown.

What it covers today

Milling, 3-axis

  • 3-axis milling of single parts
  • Setups and operations for the recognised features
  • Tool selection from your own library, including drills, end mills, ball and bull nose cutters
  • Machining time per operation and in total
  • 3D view of the part, features and setups

The time is not an estimate. It is the actual CAM time: the machining time of the generated toolpaths at the feed rates, spindle speeds and rapid moves of your machine. You apply your own hourly rate and material costs to get your price.

More axes and turning are on our development list.

Pilot programme

Try it in your workshop

EngamPrice is in a pilot phase with selected workshops. We are looking for machine shops who want to use it on real parts and tell us what works and what is missing.
