Know how it's made — and how long it takes.
ARCNM plans the operations and machines for your part and simulates each operation's setup and cycle time — physics-grounded, not read off a table — then flags the features that fight the process. Setup is paid once, so per-part time falls as the lot grows. You get a routing and a time per machine for make-vs-buy, scheduling and CAM prep.
From geometry to a routing
ARCNM plans the part, from its geometry, into operations and setups on your fleet's machines (milling, turning, sheet metal, tube) — routing on to wire EDM, grinding, laser or waterjet where the features demand it — with stable IDs that come back the same on every run.
Setup and cycle time per operation
Setup and cycle times come back per operation and per machine — physics-grounded, not read off a rate table — and per-part time falls as the lot grows because setup is paid once.
Manufacturability, early
DfM checks for milling, turning, drilling and sheet metal are raised per feature, graded by severity, so a tight fit, a deep pocket or a thin wall is caught before it reaches the shop floor.
