Fast, accurate quotations for sheet metal
components and assemblies

eQuote has been developed specifically for the sheet
metal industry by Radan for the fast efficient quoting
of sheet metal parts and assemblies. Utilising 2D or
3D data combined with Radan’s knowledge of your
machine tool and nesting capabilities allows eQuote
to quickly arrive at accurate costs.
Efficient use of stored knowledge
The subcontract sheet metal
environment is amongst the fastest
changing and demanding in modern
manufacturing. Clients expect their
parts to be delivered in two days
and quoted in two hours; anything
less and the work goes elsewhere.
eQuote uses your customers
geometry, the Radan CAM system
and a database of additional
operations to arrive at part costs
quickly, effectively and accurately.
Consistent costing
The estimation engine within eQuote
utilises a comprehensive operation
modeller. This, in conjunction with
the CAD/CAM data, allows the use
of synthetic data for calculations
relating to almost any part property.
For example: from CAD data we
can see that the component has
four bends; we also know the size,
material, thickness and weight.
Using this information, we can very
accurately estimate a time to bend

the component and can accurately
add handling time and additional
labour if required, based on the
component’s physical properties.
Geometry based quotations
Traditional MRP systems and
quotation systems do not easily
cope with the use of sheet materials,
especially where components are
nested together. eQuote can reuse
the CAD data that generated the
costing during the quotation by
sending the geometry back to the
Radan nesting module with a list of
materials. The system will calculate
the best sheet utilisation to produce
a quantity of similar items or batches
of dissimilar items from different
materials.
