Every tool below runs off the same analysis of your CAD model and technical drawing. The part is read once, and the plan, the programs, the price and the schedule all follow from it.
Upload a STEP model and the technical drawing. KinetiCAD recognises the machinable features, sequences the operations across the machines and tool magazines you have, picks strategies and cutting parameters, and emits the NC programs. Nobody programs anything by hand: the plan arrives complete. The 3D workspace is there for when you disagree with a decision and want to change it, not because you have to drive it. The G-code is produced by deterministic strategy generators and simulated against the model, not written by a language model.
The same analysis prices the job: raw material, cycle time, setup, energy and overhead, derived from the recognised geometry rather than from flat rates. Every line is editable and the total recalculates as you type. Send the quote through the customer portal; when it is approved, accept it and it becomes a scheduled job.
A plan is only as good as what the shop can actually do. KinetiCAD holds your machine list with controls and hour rates, the tool magazine for each machine, a material library with cutting parameters and stock, and a day-by-day schedule of committed jobs, maintenance and coolant service.
Enter any tolerance designation and get the IT grade, the manufacturing process it demands, a recommended measurement strategy and the cost impact relative to a baseline - instead of cross-referencing ISO tables by hand.
Your models and drawings are your most sensitive IP. We treat them accordingly: EU data residency, encryption at every layer, and strict GDPR compliance by design.
KinetiCAD operates as a Data Processor under GDPR. Data processing agreements are available on request. Your data is never used for AI model training.
GDPR · DSGVOAll data hosted on certified EU-based server infrastructure. Your files never leave European jurisdiction. On-premise deployment is available for enterprise.
Hosted in GermanyFiles are encrypted in transit and at rest. Each customer's data is strictly isolated: no cross-customer data access is architecturally possible.
TLS 1.3 · AES-256Generated NC programs are simulated against the model, and a human release step is always required before anything runs on a machine. The platform proposes; your team decides.
