Quote faster. Ensure reliable margins. Manage your manufacturing costs.
In industrial environments where competitiveness depends on cost accuracy and rapid response times, quoting can no longer be based on estimates. Materials, machining time, tooling, subcontracting, set-up: every parameter must be controlled to ensure quotations are reliable and consistent with actual production conditions.
TopSolid’PartCosting is a sector-specific solution designed for machining, bar turning and sheet metal work. It offers a graphical interface tailored to the mechanical engineering sector, combining clarity, rapid calculation and industrial precision.
It can be used as a standalone application or integrated with an ERP/CAP system, and fits seamlessly into business processes to ensure a smooth transition from quotation to production.
TopSolid’PartCosting thus enables quotation, methods, procurement and production teams to work in unison, using a shared, reliable and actionable costing basis.

TopSolid'PartCosting Features
Make your room costing more reliable
TopSolid'PartCosting is a piece costing program designed for any company in the mechanical engineering sector (machining, sheet metal work, boiler making, bar turning) that wants more precision in preparing estimates.
Computerizing the “estimate” process has many advantages:
- Traceability, capitalization, reuse and security of data
- Reliability of time calculations compared to estimation by experience
- Independence from the estimator's maturity
- Approved methodology to ensure nothing is forgotten in the costing
Reliability and standardization of costing
We have set up systems to facilitate estimates that will enable you to quickly arrive at a result close to the reality of the workshop based on the 2D or 3D part plan (or even without a plan).
Depending on the level of precision you require, you can choose from several calculation methods (part analogy, swarf volume, detailed estimate, multi-spindle simulation), all based on libraries specific to your company and common to all estimators.
- Methodologies in line with industry standards and at the cutting edge of technical costing
- A graphical interface adapted to costing, placing the part drawing at the center of the study
- Fast and accurate time calculation systems based on direct use of the part plan in PDF, scan, image, DXF, DWG, STEP and IGES formats
- Control of all parameters influencing the cost of the part with management of non-recurring costs and quantity variants
- Libraries that can be fully customized to your company's environment and your way of working
- Specialized functions for machining on multi-spindle machines as used in bar turning
Mastering margins, commercial concessions and negotiation arguments
Reliable time and a fair price guarantee:
- Greater credibility with clients
- An increase in your quote conversion rate
- Limiting unprofitable or loss-making work
Autonomous or linked to the CAPM / ERP
Whether or not you are equipped with production management software, TopSolid'PartCosting helps limit the risk of estimates by positioning itself as a module upstream of the price offer with the possibility of a gateway to your solution. Integration is, of course, stronger with TopSolid'Erp.
Suitable for all user profiles
The software is intended for:
- Experienced estimators familiar with machining to obtain the right price.
- The creation of a production range with reliable times calculated from the cutting conditions of their workshop ensures accuracy and peace of mind when responding to a call for tenders.
- To the salesperson or project manager with little knowledge of machining, to enable them to respond to a call for tenders in a reliable and coherent manner.
The costing facilitation systems are accessible to as many people as possible.
