Thrinno says Fast Quote supports companies by reducing indirect feedback costs, and by giving them a fast and accurate direct price of the model.
The tool has four steps:
1. Make a profile of your printing specs.
2. Import a model on which different algorithms are applied. These algorithms include among others detection of amount of support, surfaces to be finished afterward, thermal stresses, etc.
3. Based on that and a chosen set of quality parameters, a price and quality score are calculated for different orientations, while taking into account the occupation rate on the build plate. A tool is provided to help you pick the optimal orientation.
4. When optimal orientation is chosen, a quotation is generated with visual feedback.
