How it works
- Upload STEP file and drawings. Start with the customer geometry and add drawing details where needed.
- CadVex analyzes the geometry. Detect manufacturable features, operations, and cost-driving assumptions.
- Review the manufacturing estimate and DFM. Check the breakdown, tune shop inputs, and resolve design concerns.
- Send the quote. Turn the reviewed result into a customer-ready quote and keep its outcome visible.
Used by machine shops in five countries.

Know what drives every price.
Material, setups, machining, finishing and your markup, each with its share of the price, at your own rates.
| Cost driver | Description |
|---|---|
| Material / stock | Stock size, quantity and the cost of the blank. |
| Setup & programming | Setups, fixturing and programming before the first cut. |
| Machining | Minutes for every hole, pocket, groove and face. |
| Finishing | Finishing, marking, inspection and outside work. |
| Rates & quantity | Your rates and how the batch size spreads setup. |
| Margin | Your markup, with the cost always visible. |
Your shop, your numbers.
Tick the machines you have and CadVex plans each part only on them, at your rates. The route follows the quantity: when a larger order makes another route cheaper, CadVex switches and tells you, with Undo.
- Routes only on the machines you tick
- The cheapest route for the quantity
- Any two routes side by side
