Striker Costing Assistant add-on for CAD/CAM software quickly generates per-part cost

Striker Systems has announced the availability of a new software application that allows users of its CAD/CAM and nesting software to quickly generate a per-part cost of CNC cutting operations.

The Striker Costing Assistant add-on calculates a per-part machine operation cost for SS-Profile cut parts to assist with cost allocation and quoting. It considers all machine consumables, utilities, facilities, labor, maintenance, and other costs as configured by the user.

User-configurable to adapt to specific manufacturing operations, the add-on allows for multiple styles to be created to handle various materials and cutting operations. When integrated with SS-Nest, it provides an individual part-cutting cost and provides the machine cutting cost for each part across an entire nested job containing multiple layouts.
