Tapping
Glintify extracts thread information from PMI data or geometric analysis (cylindrical hole with helical groove). Each thread is classified by type, pitch, diameter and tolerance. The system picks the right threading method, cutting tap for standard, roll tap for high strength, thread milling for large diameters, based on material and requirements.
What Glintify detects
The system analyzes the part's geometry and extracts every manufacturing-relevant feature without manual input.
Thread type, pitch, diameter, length, internal/external, tolerance class
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.

Cost example
Line-by-line breakdown of the part cost using your machine data and prices.
| Cost item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Thread M6×1 (through × 8) | SEK 12.00 |
| Thread M10×1.5 (blind × 4) | SEK 8.00 |
| Tool wear | SEK 2.40 |
| Setup per batch | SEK 4.50 |
| Total tapping cost per part | SEK 26.90 |
The same routing line as in Monitor
On top of our time-based calculation, tapping 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.
