Who it's for

For design engineers: DFM and should-cost while the model is soft

You design the part. Somebody else has to make it, and they tell you weeks late. Upload the model before release: manufacturability findings come back before a process is picked, and six process families are screened with the constraint behind each verdict and a should-cost curve across quantities.

For steel fabricators — price the hours, not just the tonnage

You quote weldments where fit-up and arc time set the price, not the steel. What runs in the browser today is the handrail and stair configurator — tonnage, fit-up hours, weld metres, coating area, a should-cost curve — plus routing that prices the coating you send out, on a ledger where every line names its rule.

For foundries — the pour, the tooling and the rate, before you quote

You pour metal, and the expensive surprises land late: a section that won't feed, a pattern price someone recalled, a yield nobody scored. Partimation screens the casting before tooling, runs fill and solidification physics on every casting job, prices the pattern into the piece, and quotes on your foundry's rates.

For CNC job shops: quote inbound RFQs without the gut-feel number

You run a CNC or contract machine shop, twenty to fifty RFQs land a week, and one senior estimator gates all of them. Upload the model or the drawing you were already sent, get the route built and ranked, and send a price where every line names the rate or rule behind it.

For procurement — know what the part should cost before you negotiate

You buy parts you did not design, priced by suppliers whose numbers you cannot take apart. Partimation gives the buy side its own should-cost: an itemized ledger where every line names its rate or rule, a process verdict that names the constraint behind it, and the exact quantity where a cheaper method takes over.
