CNC drilling
Glintify reads every hole, thread and countersink from the geometry via PMI or geometric detection. Each operation is classified: drilling, tapping (with pitch and tolerance), countersinking (angle and diameter). The system picks tools from your library and calculates machining time based on your feed tables. Fixture and NC program cost is added per part.
What Glintify detects
The system analyzes the part's geometry and extracts every manufacturing-relevant feature without manual input.
Hole position, diameter, depth, tolerance class, thread indicator, chamfer
What is calculated automatically
All measurements are extracted directly from the geometry.
Quality rules
The system automatically checks whether the part fits within your capacity and flags designs that can cause production issues.
Typical setup

Cost example
Line-by-line breakdown of the part cost using your machine data and prices.
| Cost item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Drilled hole Ø10 × 6 | SEK 18.00 |
| Thread M8 × 4 | SEK 14.00 |
| Countersink Ø16 × 4 | SEK 6.00 |
| Fixture & setup | SEK 12.00 |
| Total CNC cost per part | SEK 50.00 |
The same routing line as in Monitor
On top of our time-based calculation, cnc drilling is also costed as a routing line ("beredningsrad") in Monitor's format: production group (work center), setup time, cycle time, allowance (F-time) and piece time, priced with the production group's cost factors. The line can be exported as an article with routing straight to your ERP system.
| Routing line | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Production group | Fetched from your ERP system or created from the machine park |
| Setup time | Per batch, not per piece — spread over the quantity |
| Cycle time | The technical time per piece, calculated from the geometry |
| F-time % | Allowance on top of the cycle time |
| Piece time | Cycle time × (1 + F-time %) |
| Cost factors | Machine, wages + social charges and fixed manufacturing overhead in SEK/h, with a staffing factor |
Markups for MO (material overhead), LO (subcontracting overhead), AFFO (general overhead) and profit are added at quote level — exactly as in Monitor's pre-calculation.
