Cost-estimating software enables 3D CAD feature recognition

MTI SYSTEMS Costimator Version 14 (V14) cost-estimating software provides new features including 3DFX, an automated feature recognition (AFR) that recognizes CAD features and their parameters from solid models and gives estimators complete control over features they ‘extract’ and import for estimating. Product increases cost estimating speed and quoting throughput up to 90%, while dramatically improving cost estimating accuracy and consistency from part to part, estimator to estimator. Product also provides enhanced cost models, new cost/profit report and SQL Server 2014 compatibility.http://www.mtisystems.com
