feature extraction & costing

A cost you can defend, straight from the geometry

Quoting a machined or formed part means reading every feature, matching it to a process, and estimating time and material, which today depends on a handful of experienced estimators and produces numbers that move by double digits depending on who ran them.

  • 50xfaster quote turnaround
  • ±5%against realized cost
  • 98%feature recognition accuracy
  • <2 minfrom CAD file to costed part

Your margin depends on who happened to read the drawing

Feature counting is manual, process routing is tribal knowledge, and cost drivers stay invisible until the part is already in production. Estimates cannot be compared across quotes because no two were built the same way.

This is not an engineering failure. It is a knowledge failure

One model. Geometry to cost.

Vetta recognizes manufacturing features directly from the CAD geometry, routes them through your real process capabilities and machine rates, and returns a costed part with every driver itemized. Your historical quotes and realized costs calibrate the model, so the number reflects your shop and not a generic table.

What your team

can do with it

01

automated feature recognition

Extracts holes, pockets, threads, bends, tolerances, and surface requirements from the geometry itself, with no tagging or manual takeoff.

02

process routing and cycle time

Maps each feature to the processes and machines you actually run, then estimates setups, cycle time, and material use against your own rates.

03

cost driver breakdown

Shows which features carry the cost and what each one contributes, so a quote can be explained line by line to a customer or an engineer.

04

design for cost feedback

Flags the features driving cost without driving function and proposes concrete geometry changes, with the saving quantified before the design is frozen.

Payback in months, not years

One unified engineering intelligence operating system

trained on your own geometry, process capabilities, and realized cost data, deployed securely inside your own infrastructure.
