Smart Cut Quote Introduces New 3D Features for Faster Assembly Quoting
Smart Cut Quote has released a new set of 3D features aimed at improving the way sheet metal and laser cutting businesses handle quoting from 3D STEP files and assemblies.
The latest update focuses on giving users greater control and visibility when working with complex assemblies. Users can now view and sort parts by thickness directly within the 3D environment, making it easier to organise and review components before processing. This allows estimators to quickly identify small or non relevant items such as screws or standard hardware and remove or exclude them from the quoting process.
Material assignment has also been improved, allowing multiple parts to be selected and updated in a single step. Thickness is automatically read from the 3D model, while users can also adjust radiuses and apply their own company settings for bending and estimation. Clear indicators show which parts have been assigned materials, helping users complete the workflow with confidence.
A key addition in this release is the ability to flatten parts and export a complete assembly with a captured image and total cost. This removes the need to send multi page quotations and instead allows businesses to present a single, clear summary that is easier for customers to understand.
Costing has also been enhanced. Users can apply and adjust bending costs after flattening, with the option to update values across all parts in an assembly. Additional setup costs can also be included, giving more flexibility and accuracy in pricing.
These new features are designed to reduce quoting time while improving clarity, particularly for businesses working with larger or more detailed assemblies. The update supports a more practical workflow for fabrication and laser cutting environments.
The new 3D features are now available for testing. For access, contact sales@smartcutquote.com.
