ARCNM calculates manufacturing costs from STEP files and drawings using physics simulation and AI, providing auditable should-cost analysis across multiple lot
About
A look at arcnm.io
ARCNM is a cost engineering platform that calculates manufacturing costs from CAD geometry and technical drawings. It uses physics-based simulation to plan manufacturing operations and compute setup times, cycle times and unit costs across ten lot sizes. The platform reads 3D STEP files and 2D PDF drawings, extracting features, dimensions, tolerances and GD&T callouts. It covers CNC milling, turning, sheet metal processes, grinding, injection moulding and additive manufacturing, with heat treatment, coating and welding priced from drawing callouts. Results are auditable end-to-end, with every cost figure traced back to the operation behind it. The platform calibrates to your shop's machines and rates, and connects via REST API, webhooks and MCP server for AI agents.

Questions
How do I calculate the manufacturing cost of a part from a STEP file?
Upload the STEP model and PDF drawing if available, choose a lot size and costing environment (your machines and rates, or a reference). ARCNM recognises the features and plans the operations and machines, then simulates setup and cycle time from physics. You get an itemised unit cost across the lot-size curve, accessible via the workspace, REST API, or AI agent over MCP.
What is a should-cost?
A should-cost is the price a part ought to have when made efficiently at fair rates, computed bottom-up from material, cycle time, setup and overhead. ARCNM calculates it from CAD geometry and drawing, providing the same calculation a shop runs for its quote, allowing buyer and supplier to compare line by line with every line tracing back to the operation behind it.
Can I automate quote calculation through an API?
Yes. Use POST /api/v1/calculations/upload-and-quote or MCP at https://api.arcnm.io/mcp-server/mcp. AI agents such as Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor connect over MCP, upload the file and read the result. You pay only on a 200 response with a valid result.
Which manufacturing processes can ARCNM cost?
ARCNM covers CNC milling and turning, sheet metal (laser, plasma, waterjet cutting, punching, shearing, press-brake, roll and tube bending), grinding, injection moulding and additive manufacturing from physics. Heat treatment, coating, surface finishing and welding are read from the drawing and priced as subcontract steps.
Does ARCNM train AI models on my parts and prices?
No. ARCNM never trains on customer data in any form—not identifiable, not anonymised, not aggregated, and never across customers. This is contractually binding, enforced in the schema and guarded by tests. Your calibration and part data stay yours.
