Documentation/Pricing setup
Machines and materials
Your machine park and materials are the foundation of every price.
Machines
Each machine has an hourly rate, a technology (milling or turning), a work envelope, an axis count and a minimum tool radius. These values drive not only the price but also feasibility: a part larger than the work envelope, or with an internal radius smaller than your smallest cutter, goes to your review queue instead of getting an automatic price.
The machine-selection strategy (in the Pricing tab) decides whether the engine prices every part on the cheapest feasible machine, or routes rotational parts to a lathe. Turned parts get bar stock in commercial sizes: diameters in 5 mm steps and a minimum purchase length.
Materials
A material needs a price per kilogram, a density and removal-rate coefficients (MRR for roughing, optionally a separate one for turning). The starter library has 39 entries with EN / DIN / W-Nr designations and sensible machining parameters: you only override the prices from your own supplier. You can also add a custom material from scratch.
Library material prices are indicative. The first thing to do after setup is to enter the rates from your supplier's latest invoice.
