Manage press brake bending and laser cutting costs in the same workflow.
GEZFORM is designed to evaluate not only laser cutting costs but also press brake bending operations within the same preliminary costing workflow for sheet metal parts.
Why does bending cost become difficult when calculated separately?
After laser cutting, bending operations still need to be evaluated separately. When the technical drawing, bending requirements, part weight and company-specific costing rules are combined manually, the quotation process can become fragmented.
For multi-part jobs, this approach can make bending operations easier to overlook and may lead to different calculation methods across quotations.
Combine cutting and bending in one cost result
GEZFORM keeps technical data within a single part workflow so laser cutting and press brake bending can be evaluated together. Defined bending rules, part data and production parameters are included in the costing process.
The preliminary costing work no longer needs to be split across different files and tables; the total part cost can be generated in a more structured and repeatable way.
Import technical data
Keep the DXF and technical drawing under the same part.
Evaluate bending requirements
Include relevant production information from the drawing.
Apply defined bending rules
Use the costing parameters defined for your operation.
Generate total part cost
Bring laser cutting and bending costs together in one result.
Frequently asked questions
Does GEZFORM calculate bending separately from laser cutting?
Bending is evaluated as a separate cost component, while the total part cost can be combined within the same workflow.
Why is the technical drawing important?
The technical drawing provides production and bending information that supports the costing workflow.
Can bending cost rules be adapted to the company?
GEZFORM can work with defined production and costing parameters according to the configured workflow.
