The solution enables CNC machine shops to calculate manufacturing costs and times for turning and milling parts faster and create quotes more efficiently. With the new version,&nbsp;Spanflug MAKE&nbsp;is evolving towards a “Machining Intelligence”, that also supports work preparation and manufacturing strategy optimization. Thanks to AI-powered algorithms for part analysis, a high level of automation, and the integration of tool and stock data, software users can generate cost-efficient machining strategies with just a few clicks. This is especially valuable for small quantities and enables companies to manufacture more economically.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">CNC contract manufacturers who produce small and medium quantities often have limited time to determine the most economical machining strategy and optimize process parameters, unlike in large-scale production. Parts outside their current specialization typically pose significant challenges in quoting, work preparation, and manufacturing. Particularly with unfamiliar parts, companies often lack the experience needed for truly accurate calculations. Those looking to tap into new customer segments under rising cost and competitive pressure, and who wish to respond to customers faster with accurate quotes and manufacture parts profitably can reduce economic risks and complexity through Spanflug&#39;s solution for intelligent machining strategies. “This is exactly where our Machining Intelligence comes in,” explains Dr. Markus Westermeier, CEO at Spanflug. “We now support machine shops with more than quoting and work preparation – we help them become more efficient in actual manufacturing and find new, more economical ways to machine custom parts.” The technical basis for this is the Spanflug algorithm, which is enhanced by artificial intelligence and trained on millions of parts. The software understands each part, analyzes the optimal manufacturing process, and generates an operational plan with the required stock materials, machine tools, cutting tools, as well as times and costs. Increasingly integrating real-world data from throughout the entire manufacturing process into Spanflug’s software is crucial to the quality of the operational plans generated and accuracy of the calculations. In addition to stock data from connected material partners, Spanflug MAKE now also utilizes tool data. The strategic partnership with tool manufacturer Ceratizit plays a key role here and now brings concrete benefits for users. “The integration of Ceratizit cutting tool data enables the software to model the manufacturing process and generate the most profitable machining strategy,” says Westermeier.</span></p>
