For workshops with welded structures

    Welded assemblies

    You build welded structures from many parts. Glintify reads the whole STEP assembly, finds the seams between the parts and classifies the joint family: T-joint, corner, lap, butt or tube to plate. Throat a comes from the drawing when there is one, otherwise from the wall thickness, marked as assumed. Included parts, purchased parts, clamping and post-processing are calculated in the same quote.

    Who is it for?

    Multi-part welded structures where laser-cut and bent parts, tubes, profiles and purchased parts are joined with weld seams.

    What's included

    Glintify comes with the following features tailored to this solution.

    Seams between all parts of the assembly, with joint family and length
    Throat a from drawing symbol, modelled bead, general note or house rule, with the source visible per seam
    Every included part is priced on its own: cutting, bending and post-processing
    Purchased parts such as press nuts and weld nuts are recognised by their designation and never become a weld or a manufactured part
    Manual welding and robot are calculated side by side with break-even in quantity
    Clamping, turning, visual inspection, fixture and documentation per assembly

    Benefits

    What this solution means for your business.

    Seams without manual measuring

    Contact faces between solids become seams with the length measured along the edge. The estimator confirms in the 3D view instead of measuring on the drawing.

    The drawing drives throat a

    ISO 2553 symbols and notes such as 'a3 unless otherwise stated' are read in. A manual value always wins, and the source is shown on the row.

    No price on guesses

    A seam that lacks throat a, awaits confirmation or needs a process the workshop does not have blocks the direct price and goes to the estimator.

    // Use case

    Welded machine frame with eight included parts

    A frame of five laser-cut sheet parts, two bent parts and a tube welded to one of the plates. Glintify finds the seams between the parts, measures their length, proposes throat a from the wall thickness and shows which seams the drawing confirms. The press nuts are recognised by their PEM designation and priced as purchased parts. The example is illustrative and describes the way of working, not a measured customer result.

    Result in the workflow

    The estimator reviews the seams in the 3D view, confirms the assumed ones and approves the calculation.
