up2parts calculation
Content
up2parts calculation is an AI-based software solution that significantly automates and accelerates cost estimation and production planning in machine shops. The solution enables component calculations up to 80% faster, automatically creates company-specific process plans, and transfers the results directly to an ERP system or Excel format for quotation preparation.
In many machine shops, cost estimation is still based on manual calculations, the experience of individual experts, and recollections of previous projects. This makes the process slow, difficult to scale, and vulnerable to personnel changes. up2parts calculation replaces production planning based solely on intuition with a fast, transparent, and future-proof estimation process.
Production Planning and Quotes in Record Time
up2parts calculation analyzes a component’s geometry, manufacturing technology, quantity, and complexity, and uses this information to create a comprehensive process plan. The proposal includes:
- individual operations based on the manufacturing technology
- setup-time and machining-time estimates
- consideration of both machining centers and manual operations
All of this is generated automatically within a few seconds. The production planning and calculation results can be transferred seamlessly to the ERP system in use or exported as an Excel file for further processing.
Fast, Automatic, and Easy to Use
up2parts calculation was developed to meet the real-world needs of machine shops. The software is browser-based and requires no separate installations, powerful workstations, or CAM licenses. Implementation is quick, and the system is easy for new users to learn.
The calculation process consists of three simple steps:
- Upload a CAD model or drawing
- Automatic process and cost calculation
- Create a quote with a single click
This makes it possible to prepare up to four times as many quotes in the same amount of time compared with traditional methods.
Company-Specific AI – Your Own Digital Estimating Copilot
Every component uploaded to up2parts calculation and every choice made by a user helps develop the company’s own AI. The system learns from the company’s production methods, machine fleet, and estimating practices, and produces increasingly accurate and realistic proposals over time.
The company-specific AI is fully separated from other users and from up2parts’ general data models—no one else benefits from your company’s expertise. This creates a transparent and sustainable knowledge base that preserves the company’s tacit knowledge even through personnel changes.
Make Use of Existing CAD Models and Tolerances
up2parts calculation works with both 3D and 2D data. If only 2D drawings are available, up2parts can create 3D models from them when necessary, either with or without tolerance information.
Tolerance information (PMI) can be added to the model manually or read from PDF drawings. This enables more precise process planning and more realistic cost estimation even when the source material is incomplete.
Security and Scalability
up2parts calculation is a cloud-based solution in which all data is stored in the Microsoft Azure Europe environment. The system complies with GDPR requirements and uses:
- continuous SSL/TLS encryption for data transmission
- server-side encryption (FIPS 140-2 standard)
Thanks to its cloud-based architecture, there is no limit on the number of calculations, and all previous calculations remain available for future projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is up2parts Calculation?
up2parts Calculation is an AI-powered software solution that automates quotation calculation and job planning by analyzing 3D models and related production data. It quickly generates cost estimates and manufacturing steps for the needs of the manufacturing industry.
2. How does up2parts Calculation speed up the quotation process?
up2parts Calculation automatically identifies the features of a component’s geometry and combines them with the company’s own machine, tooling, and cost data. This makes it possible to prepare quotations faster and more consistently, with less manual work.
3. Can up2parts Calculation use company-specific data?
Yes. The system is based on the company’s own manufacturing resources, pricing structure, and historical production data. This ensures that calculations reflect the actual production environment and become more accurate over time.
4. What types of companies is up2parts Calculation suitable for?
The solution is particularly well suited to machine shops and manufacturing companies that handle quotation requests based on 3D models and want to speed up and standardize their estimating process.
5. How does up2parts Calculation support production planning?
In addition to cost calculations, the software generates a clear structure of manufacturing steps, making it easier to plan resources, assess capacity, and improve production predictability.
